rs25489

rs25489, a SNP also known as Arg280His located in the DNA-repair gene XRCC1, is associated with an increased risk for breast cancer based on a study of 1,100 Cypriot women. The odds ratio for the rs25489(A;A) homozygote is 4.68, CI: 1.01-21.7, p=0.03. rs25489(A;G) prostate cancer patients being treated by radiation therapy are more likely (67% compared to 24%, p=0.048) to develop erectile dysfunction after irradiation than (G;G) patients, based on a study of 135 patients. A meta-analysis concludes that this SNP is not associated with risk of gastric cancer.
