A new single nucleotide polymorphism in XRCC4 gene is associated with breast cancer susceptibility in Taiwanese patients.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The DNA repair gene XRCC4, an important caretaker of the overall genome stability, is thought to play a major role in the human carcinogenesis. Some new and important polymorphic variants of XRCC4, at codon 247 (rs 3734091), G-1394T (rs 6869366), and Intron 7 (rs 28360317), and their association with breast cancer susceptibility was investigated in a Taiwanese population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a hospital-based case-control study, 432 female patients with breast cancer and 432 age-matched healthy controls recruited from the China Medical Hospital in Central Taiwan were genotyped. RESULTS: A significant difference in the frequency of the XRCC4 G-1394T genotype, but not the XRCC4 codon 247, or intron 7 genotypes was found between the breast cancer and control groups. Individuals with G/T or T/T at the XRCC4 G-1394T locus showed a 2.33-fold (95% confidence interval=1.37-3.98) increased risk of breast cancer compared to those with G/G. For XRCC4 codon 247 or intron 7, there was no difference in distribution between the breast cancer and control groups. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that the heterozygous and homozygous T allele of the XRCC4 G-1394T may be associated with the development of breast cancer and may be a useful biomarker for anticancer prevention and intervention.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
