The present invention concerns a method of determining a risk of a subject to develop cancer, the method comprising determining a level of catalytic activity of a DNA repair enzyme in a biological sample of the subject, wherein said DNA repair enzyme is selected from the group consisting of 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1), AP endonuclease1 (APE1), methylpurine DNA glycosylase (MFG), uracil DNA glycosylase1 (UNG1), uracil DNA glycosylase2 (UNG2), SMUG1, MBD4, mismatch-specific thymine/uracil glycosylase (TDG), enodonuclease III (NTH1), adenine-specific mismatch DNA glycosylase (MYH), 8-oxo-GTPase/8-oxodGTPase (MTH1), dUTPase (DUT), AP endonuclease2 (APE2), deoxyribose phosphate lyase (POLB) and wherein a level of said activity below a predetermined value is indicative of an increased risk of the subject to develop said cancer.
本发明涉及一种确定受试者罹患癌症风险的方法,该方法包括确定受试者生物样本中DNA修复酶的催化活性水平,其中所述DNA修复酶选自由8-氧鸟嘌呤DNA糖基化酶(OGG1)、AP内切酶1(APE1)、甲基嘌呤DNA糖基化酶(MFG)、尿嘧啶DNA糖基化酶1(UNG1)、尿嘧啶DNA糖基化酶2(UNG2)、SMUG1、MBD4、错配特异性胸腺嘧啶/尿嘧啶糖基化酶(TDG)、烯核酸内切酶III(NDG)组成的组、尿嘧啶 DNA 糖基化酶 2 (UNG2)、SMUG1、MBD4、错配特异性胸腺嘧啶/尿嘧啶糖基化酶 (TDG)、烯核诱导酶 III (NTH1)、腺嘌呤特异性错配 DNA 糖基化酶 (MYH)、8-氧代-GTP 酶/8-氧代-GTP 酶 (MTH1)、dUTPase (DUT)、AP 内切酶 2 (APE2)、脱氧核糖磷酸裂解酶 (POLB),其中所述活性水平低于预定值表明受试者罹患所述癌症的风险增加。
