cancer risk, hence emphasizing the importance of undertaking genotype-phenotype<br />
correlation studies in understanding UADT MPN pathogenesis.<br />
When we correlated G Score with phenotypic responses after radiation /<br />
BPDE exposure, a negative correlation was observed between the total G Score in all<br />
22 SNPs, G Score of DNA repair genes and MPN risk association signature, and<br />
percent cell death and percent G2 delay. This was statistically significant for most of<br />
the groups. As higher G Score corresponds to more number of risk alleles in an<br />
individual and improper apoptotic and cell cycle response designate enhanced<br />
carcinogenesis phenotypes in a cell, our results emphasize the notion that<br />
polymorphisms in certain genes modify cellular intermediate phenotypic responses<br />
after genotoxic exposure that may have an important bearing on neoplastic evolution.<br />
Thus the genotype-phenotype associations observed in this study support our<br />
hypothesis that polymorphisms in genes involved in well regulated pathways like DNA<br />
repair, cell cycle check point, carcinogen metabolism and apoptosis can affect<br />
important cellular functions like, DNA repair capacity, cell cycle regulation and<br />
apoptosis.<br />
