Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ids one of the most common cancer worldwide. Polymorphism in p53 and XRCC1 genes were associated with increased risk of early-onset HCC. We thus hypothesized that, these polymorphism could be more likely in South Indian population. However the status of these mutations in South Indian HCC had not been studied. Methods: In the present study 130 HCC patients and 130 control subjects were analyzed for known polymorphisms in the p53 and XRCC1 genes. Results: In the Arg194Trp polymorphism of p53 gene, we found 19.05% with Arg- 399Trp (heterozygous variant) genotype and 1.6% with 399Trp (homozygous variant) in comparison to controls who exhibited 90.39% with wild type genotype. In Arg399Gln polymorphism of XRCC1 gene, 46.17% were found to have Arg399Gln (heterozygous variant) genotype and 10.11% were found to have 399Gln (homozygous variant) genotype in comparison to controls who exhibited 55% individuals with heterozygous variant genotype and 16.75% with homozygous variant genotype. This polymorphic incidence revealed signifi cant association with advanced stages of the HCC and also well differentiated tumor. Conclusions: Thus the results of our study provide the genetic variations of p53 and XRCC1 which may contribute to the susceptibility to HCC in South India. The results suggest that, these genes could play a signifi cant role in HCC and the combined effect of these variants may interact to increase the risk of HCC in Indian population.

Extremely low frequency electro magnetic fields (EMFs) have been classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. An increased number of chromosomal alterations in peripheral lymphocytes are correlated with elevated incidence of cancer. The aim of the present study was to assess occupationally induced chromosomal damage in EMF workers exposed to low levels of radiation. We used conventional metaphase chromosome aberration (CA) analysis and the micronucleus (MN) assay as biological indicators of non ionizing radiation exposure. In the present study totally 70 subjects were selected including 50 exposed and 20 controls. Informed written consent was obtained from all participants and the study was performed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and the approval of the local ethical committee. A higher degree of CA and MN was observed in exposed subjects compared to controls, the frequency of CA being significantly enhanced with long years of exposure (P<0.05). Moreover increase in CA and MN with age was noted in both exposed subjects and controls, but was significantly greater in the former. The results of this study demonstrated that a significant induction of cytogenetic damage in peripheral lymphocytes of workers occupationally exposed to EMFs in electric transformer and distribution stations. In conclusion, our findings suggest that EMFs possess genotoxic capability, as measured by CA and MN assays; CA analysis appeared more sensitive than other cytogenetic end-points. It can be concluded that chronic occupational exposure to EMFs may lead to an increased risk of genetic damage among electrical workers.
