GENETIC SUSCEPTIBILITY TO RADIATION-RELATED DISEASES: A REVIEW OF CURRENT LITERATURE

Authors

Keywords:

genetic susceptibility, radiosensitivity, ionizing radiation, GWAS

Abstract

This review aims to synthesize current knowledge on genetic determinants of radiosensitivity, emphasizing findings from candidate gene studies and genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and discuss their clinical implications. Methods: We conducted a literature-based analysis of genetic polymorphisms associated with radiation-related outcomes, focusing on genes involved in DNA repair, cell cycle regulation, oxidative stress response, and tissue remodeling. Results: Variants in genes such as XRCC1, XRCC3, TP53, TGFβ1, and SOD2 have been linked to increased radiosensitivity and risk of adverse outcomes following radiation exposure. GWAS have identified novel loci (TANC1, RAD51L1, KIF26B) associated with normal tissue toxicity and secondary malignancies. While promising, most findings require further validation in diverse populations and clinical settings. Conclusion: Understanding genetic susceptibility to radiation is essential for advancing personalized radiotherapy and improving public health strategies. Future research should prioritize multi-locus models, functional validation, and the ethical integration of genetic data into clinical and occupational contexts
