Association between ERCC1 and ERCC2 gene polymorphisms and chemotherapy response and overall survival in osteosarcoma

Z. H. Cao, Yin, H. P., Jiang, N., and Yu, B., Association between ERCC1 and ERCC2 gene polymorphisms and chemotherapy response and overall survival in osteosarcoma, vol. 14, pp. 10145-10151, 2015.

We aimed to evaluate the influence of four SNPs in ERCC1 and ERCC2 on the response to cisplatin-based treatment and on clinical outcome in patients with osteosarcoma. We identified 186 patients with osteosarcoma diagnosed between April 2009 and April 2011 who were eligible for inclusion in our study. Genotyping of ERCC1 rs11615, rs3212986, and rs2298881; and ERCC2 rs1799793 and rs13181 was conducted by a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay.
