Bladder cancer risk is highly influenced by environmental and/or predisposing genetic factors. In the last decades growing evidence of the major role played by DNA repair systems in the developing of bladder cancer has been provided. To better investigate the involvement of DNA repair genes previously reported to be significantly associated with bladder cancer risk, we examined in a case–control study (456 cases and 376 hospital controls) 36 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 10 DNA repair genes, through a better gene coverage and a deep investigation of the haplotype role. A single SNP analysis showed a significantly increased risk given by XRCC1-rs915927 G allele (OR = 1.55, CI 95% 1.02–2.37 for dominant model) and a protective effect of the rare alleles of 3 ERCC1 SNPs: rs967591 (OR = 0.66, CI 95% 0.46–0.95), rs735482 (OR = 0.62, CI 95% 0.42–0.90) and rs2336219 (OR = 0.63, CI 95% 0.43–0.93). Haplotype analysis revealed that cases had a statistically significant excess of XRCC3-TAGT and ERCC1-GAT haplotypes, whereas ERCC1-AAC, MGMT-TA, XRCC1-TGCC and ERCC2-TGAA haplotypes were significantly underrepresented. Together with other published data on large case–control studies, our findings provide epidemiological evidence supporting a link between DNA repair gene variants and bladder cancer development, and suggest that the effects of high-order interactions should be taken into account as modulating factors affecting bladder cancer risk. A detailed characterization of DNA repair genetic variation is warranted and might ultimately help to identify multiple susceptibility variants that could be responsible for joint effects on the risk. 相似文献

The relationship between skin cancer and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) suggests common genetic, host or environmental causes. Ultraviolet radiation (UVR), pigmentary characteristics have been linked with both malignancies, and for skin cancer, the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) which influences pigmentation has also been implicated. This paper reports on the relationship between MC1R, skin, hair and eye colour, time spent outdoors, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL). Persons carrying MC1R homozygote variant alleles at R151C, R160W, D294H and D84E were more likely to have fair skin, red hair and to spend less time outdoors than those who did not. The variant allele at V92M was associated with FL (odds ratio (OR) = 1.61, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.08–2.39) and the r:wild type genotype with DLBCL (OR = 0.58, 95% CI 0.38–0.89). Interactions between MC1R genotypes and skin colour influenced DLBCL risk; the RR genotype increased risk in individuals with medium or dark skin, based on 5 cases and no controls, but decreased risk among those of fair skin. On the whole, DLBCL and FL risk were not related to genetic variation in MC1R, pigmentation or time spent outdoors. 相似文献

Cancer risk and radiation sensitivity are often associated with alterations in DNA repair, cell cycle, or apoptotic pathways. Interindividual variability in mutagen or radiation sensitivity and in cancer susceptibility may also be traced back to polymorphisms of genes affecting e.g. DNA repair capacity. We studied possible associations between 70 polymorphisms of 12 DNA repair genes with basal and initial DNA damage and with repair thereof. We investigated DNA damage induced by ionizing radiation in lymphocytes isolated from 177 young lung cancer patients and 169 cancer-free controls. We also sought replication of our findings in an independent sample of 175 families (in total 798 individuals). DNA damage was assessed by the Olive tail moment (OTM) of the comet assay. DNA repair capacity (DRC) was determined for 10, 30 and, 60 min of repair.Genes involved in the single-strand-repair pathway (SSR; like XRCC1 and MSH2) as well as genes involved in the double-strand-repair pathway (DSR; like RAD50, XRCC4, MRE11 and ATM) were found to be associated with DNA damage. The most significant association was observed for marker rs3213334 (p = 0.005) of XRCC1 with basal DNA damage (B), in both cases and controls. A clear additive effect on the logarithm of OTM was identified for the marker rs1001581 of the same LD-block (p = 0.039): BCC = −1.06 (95%-CI: −1.16 to −0.96), BCT = −1.02 (95%-CI: −1.11 to −0.93) and BTT = −0.85 (95%-CI: −1.01 to −0.68). In both cases and controls, we observed significantly higher DNA basal damage (p = 0.007) for carriers of the genotype AA of marker rs2237060 of RAD50 (involved in DSR). However, this could not be replicated in the sample of families (p = 0.781). An alteration to DRC after 30 min of repair with respect to cases was observed as borderline significant for marker rs611646 of ATM (involved in DSR; p = 0.055), but was the most significant finding in the sample of families (p = 0.009).Our data indicate that gene variation impacts measurably on DNA damage and repair, suggesting at least a partial contribution to radiation sensitivity and lung cancer susceptibility. 相似文献

The interplay between dietary habits and individual genetic make-up is assumed to influence risk of cancer, via modulation of DNA integrity. Our aim was to characterize internal and external factors that underlie inter-individual variability in DNA damage and repair and to identify dietary habits beneficial for maintaining DNA integrity.Habitual diet was estimated in 340 healthy individuals using a food frequency questionnaire and biomarkers of antioxidant status were quantified in fasting blood samples. Markers of DNA integrity were represented by DNA strand breaks, oxidized purines, oxidized pyrimidines and a sum of all three as total DNA damage. DNA repair was characterized by genetic variants and functional activities of base and nucleotide excision repair pathways.Sex, fruit-based food consumption and XPG genotype were factors significantly associated with the level of DNA damage. DNA damage was higher in women (p = 0.035). Fruit consumption was negatively associated with the number of all measured DNA lesions, and this effect was mediated mostly by β-cryptoxanthin and β-tocopherol (p < 0.05). XPG 1104His homozygotes appeared more vulnerable to DNA damage accumulation (p = 0.001). Sex and individual antioxidants were also associated with DNA repair capacity; both the base and nucleotide excision repairs were lower in women and the latter increased with higher plasma levels of ascorbic acid and α-carotene (p < 0.05).We have determined genetic and dietary factors that modulate DNA integrity. We propose that the positive health effect of fruit intake is partially mediated via DNA damage suppression and a simultaneous increase in DNA repair capacity. 相似文献

The possible role for DNA repair deficiencies in cancer development, namely in breast cancer has been the subject of increasing interest since it has been reported that breast cancer patients might be deficient in the repair of DNA damage. Exposure to ionizing radiation has been pointed out as a risk factor for breast cancer, and the type of DNA lesions induced by this carcinogen can be repaired by homologous recombination DNA repair (HRR) pathway. To evaluate the potential modifying role of some single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in HRR involved genes on the individual susceptibility to breast cancer we carried out a hospital based case–control study in a Caucasian Portuguese population (289 histological confirmed breast cancer patients and 548 control individuals). We genotyped 4 SNPs in 4 different HRR pathway genes, XRCC2 (Ex3 + 442G > A, R188H, rs3218536), XRCC3 (Ex8-5C > T, T241M, rs861539), NBS1 (Ex5-32C > G, E185Q, rs1805794) and RAD51 5′UTR (Ex1-59G > T, rs1801321), tagging 41 SNPs in these genes. The frequency of the different polymorphisms in the Portuguese control population is similar to the ones reported for other Caucasian populations, and the deviation of the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium was only observed for the XRCC2 (Ex3 + 442G > A, R188H, rs3218536) polymorphism in the control population. The results obtained, after logistic regression analysis, did not reveal a major role of these polymorphisms on breast cancer susceptibility. However, when the population was stratified according to breast feeding (women that breast fed and women that never breast fed) it is observed, in women that never breast fed, that the heterozygous individuals for the XRCC2 (Ex3 + 442G > A, R188H, rs3218536) polymorphism have a decreased risk for breast cancer [adjusted OR = 0.45; 95% CI = 0.22–0.92] (P = 0.03). Additionally, after stratification according to menopausal status, our results suggest that post-menopausal women carrying at least one variant allele for the XRCC3 (Ex8-5C > T, T241M, rs861539) polymorphism have a lower risk for breast cancer [adjusted OR = 0.67; 95% CI, 0.47–0.94] (P = 0.03). Most of the studies suggest that breastfeeding may be responsible for 2/3 of the estimate reduction of breast cancer. The longer the duration of breastfeeding the lower the potential risk associated with breast cancer. Therefore, in our study the potential protective role of the variant allele of XRCC2 (Ex3 + 442G > A, R188H, rs3218536), in never breast fed women, might be related with a more efficient DNA repair activity. 相似文献

Background: Genetic predispositions to disease have focused on highly penetrant causative changes in tumor suppressor genes or genes associated with DNA mismatch repair. New investigations are revealing new genetic associations with disease that are more subtle in their association with disease and require characterization. Methods: In this report we have examined the tumor characteristics in a group of patients who have been shown to harbor two polymorphisms in two genes that are associated with the immune system NOD2 and TNFα. Results: Colorectal cancers from patients with NOD2 3020insC and TNFα-1031T/T constitutional changes are mostly right-sided disease (OR = 2.21, p = 0.03) with a tendency to higher stages (OR = 2.41, p = 0.06), increased number of associated polyps (OR = 1.77, p = 0.16) and later age of average age of disease onset (p = 0.039). Conclusion: The results reveal that there appear to be specific characteristics associated with the tumors that may aid in determining management strategies to reduce the risk of disease. 相似文献

Methylating agents are involved in carcinogenesis, and the DNA repair protein O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) removes methyl group from O6-methylguanine. Genetic variation in DNA repair genes has been shown to contribute to susceptibility to squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). We hypothesize that MGMT polymorphisms are associated with risk of SCCHN. In a hospital-based case–control study of 721 patients with SCCHN and 1234 cancer-free controls frequency-matched by age, sex and ethnicity, we genotyped four MGMT polymorphisms, two in exon 3, 16195C > T and 16286C > T and two in the promoter region, 45996G > T and 46346C > A. We found that none of these polymorphisms alone had a significant effect on risk of SCCHN. However, when these four polymorphisms were evaluated together by the number of putative risk genotypes (i.e. 16195CC, 16286CC, 45996GT + TT, and 46346CA + AA), a statistically significantly increased risk of SCCHN was associated with the combined genotypes with three to four risk genotypes, compared with those with zero to two risk genotypes (adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 1.27; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.05–1.53). This increased risk was also more pronounced among young subjects (OR = 1.81; 95% CI = 1.11–2.96), men (OR = 1.24; 95% CI = 1.00–1.55), ever smokers (OR = 1.25; 95% = 1.01–1.56), ever drinkers (OR = 1.29; 95% CI = 1.04–1.60), patients with oropharyngeal cancer (OR = 1.45; 95% CI = 1.12–1.87), and oropharyngeal cancer with regional lymph node metastasis (OR = 1.52; 95% CI = 1.16–1.89). In conclusion, our results suggest that any one of MGMT variants may not have a substantial effect on SCCHN risk, but a joint effect of several MGMT variants may contribute to risk and progression of SCCHN, particularly for oropharyngeal cancer, in non-Hispanic whites. 相似文献

Somatic mosaicism of the expanded CTG repeat in myotonic dystrophy type 1 is age-dependent, tissue-specific and expansion-biased, contributing toward the tissue-specificity and progressive nature of the symptoms. Previously, using regression modelling of repeat instability we showed that variation in the rate of somatic expansion in blood DNA contributes toward variation in age of onset, directly implicating somatic expansion in the disease pathway. Here, we confirm these results using a larger more genetically homogenous Costa Rican DM1 cohort (p < 0.001). Interestingly, we also provide evidence that supports subtle sex-dependent differences in repeat length-dependent age at onset and somatic mutational dynamics. Previously, we demonstrated that variation in the rate of somatic expansion was a heritable quantitative trait. Given the important role that DNA mismatch repair genes play in mediating expansions in mouse models, we tested for modifier gene effects with 13 DNA mismatch gene polymorphisms (one each in MSH2, PMS2, MSH6 and MLH1; and nine in MSH3). After correcting for allele length and age effects, we identified three polymorphisms in MSH3 that were associated with variation in somatic instability: Rs26279 (p = 0.003); Rs1677658 (p = 0.009); and Rs10168 (p = 0.031). However, only the association with Rs26279 remained significant after multiple testing correction. Although we revealed a statistically significant association between Rs26279 and somatic instability, we did not detect an association with the age at onset. Individuals with the A/A genotype for Rs26279 tended to show a greater propensity to expand the CTG repeat than other genotypes. Interestingly, this SNP results in an amino acid change in the critical ATPase domain of MSH3 and is potentially functionally dimorphic. These data suggest that MSH3 is a key player in generating somatic variation in DM1 patients and further highlight MSH3 as a potential therapeutic target. 相似文献

ObjectiveT-cell lymphoma is a highly aggressive malignant lymphoma that is rare in Caucasians but relatively common in Asian populations. Factors regulating T-cell proliferation and function may play an important role in the pathogenesis of T-cell lymphoma.MethodsA total of 8 single nucleotide polymorphisms in cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and lymphotoxin-α (LTA) genes were detected by polymerase chain reaction–ligation detection reaction analysis in a Chinese population of 291 patients with T-cell lymphoma and 300 healthy controls. Logistic regression was used to determine the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals for the associations of genotypes and haplotypes with T-cell lymphoma risk.ResultsAmong these polymorphisms, the LTA +252AA genotype was significantly associated with T-cell lymphoma risk (OR, 2.3; P = 0.002). Furthermore, the TNF-α/LTA haplotype C-G-G-A (TNF-α ?857C, ?308G, and ?238G and LTA +252A) showed a significantly increased risk for T-cell lymphoma (OR, 1.6; P = 0.001).ConclusionOur study suggested that the LTA +252G>A polymorphism may influence susceptibility to T-cell lymphoma in the Chinese population. 相似文献

Molecular and genetic evidence suggests that DNA repair pathways may contribute to lymphoma susceptibility. Several studies have examined the association of DNA repair genes with lymphoma risk, but the findings from these reports have been inconsistent. Here we provide the results of a focused analysis of genetic variation in DNA repair genes and their association with the risk of non-Hodgkin''s lymphoma (NHL). With a population of 1,297 NHL cases and 1,946 controls, we have performed a two-stage case/control association analysis of 446 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) tagging the genetic variation in 81 DNA repair genes. We found the most significant association with NHL risk in the ATM locus for rs227060 (OR = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.13–1.43, p = 6.77×10−5), which remained significant after adjustment for multiple testing. In a subtype-specific analysis, associations were also observed for the ATM locus among both diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) and small lymphocytic lymphomas (SLL), however there was no association observed among follicular lymphomas (FL). In addition, our study provides suggestive evidence of an interaction between SNPs in MRE11A and NBS1 associated with NHL risk (OR = 0.51, 95% CI: 0.34–0.77, p = 0.0002). Finally, an imputation analysis using the 1,000 Genomes Project data combined with a functional prediction analysis revealed the presence of biologically relevant variants that correlate with the observed association signals. While the findings generated here warrant independent validation, the results of our large study suggest that ATM may be a novel locus associated with the risk of multiple subtypes of NHL. 相似文献

DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) are generally considered the most critical lesion induced by ionizing radiation (IR) and may initiate carcinogenesis and other disease. Using an immunofluorescence assay to simultaneously detect nuclear foci of the phosphorylated forms of histone H2AX and ATM kinase at sites of DSBs, we examined the response of 25 apparently normal and 10 DNA repair-deficient (ATM, ATR, NBN, LIG1, LIG4, and FANCG) primary fibroblast strains irradiated with low doses of 137Cs γ-rays. Quiescent G0/G1-phase cultures were exposed to 5, 10, and 25 cGy and allowed to repair for 24 h. The maximum level of IR-induced foci (0.15 foci per cGy, at 10 or 30 min) in the normal strains showed much less inter-individual variation (CV ≈ 0.2) than the level of spontaneous foci, which ranged from 0.2–2.6 foci/cell (CV ≈ 0.6; mean ± SD of 1.00 ± 0.57). Significantly slower focus formation post-irradiation was observed in seven normal strains, similar to most mutant strains examined. There was variation in repair efficiency measured by the fraction of IR-induced foci remaining 24 h post-irradiation, curiously with the strains having slower focus formation showing more efficient repair after 25 cGy. Interestingly, the ranges of spontaneous and residual induced foci levels at 24 h in the normal strains were as least as large as those observed for the repair-defective mutant strains. The inter-individual variation in DSB foci parameters observed in cells exposed to low doses of ionizing radiation in this small survey of apparently normal people suggests that hypomorphic genetic variants in genomic maintenance and/or DNA damage signaling and repair genes may contribute to differential susceptibility to cancer induced by environmental mutagens. 相似文献

Evidence is accumulating that chronic inflammation may have an important mechanism for the development and progression of lung cancer. Therefore, genetic polymorphisms in genes that involved in the inflammatory response may be associated with lung cancer risk. We evaluated the role of tumor necrosis factor α (TNFA) rs1799724, interleukin 1β (IL1B) rs16944, IL6 rs1800796, myeloperoxidase (MPO) rs2333227 and C-reactive protein (CRP) rs2794520 in a case-control study comprised of 462 lung cancer cases and 379 controls in a Japanese population. Unconditional logistic regression was used to assess the adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). CRP rs2794520 (OR = 1.64, 95% CI = 1.19–2.26) and IL6 rs1800796 (OR = 1.41, 95% CI = 1.02–1.96) were associated with lung cancer risk. In addition, we assessed interactions between the polymorphisms and smoking. The polymorphisms did not significantly modify the association between smoking and lung cancer. As TNFA triggers a cytokine cascade, the modifying effect of the TNFA rs1799724 genotypes on the association of any of the remaining polymorphisms with lung cancer risk was also examined. There was a significant interaction between TNFA rs1799724 and MPO rs2333227 (Pinteraction = 0.058). Future studies involving larger control and case populations will undoubtedly lead to a more thorough understanding of the role of the polymorphisms involved in the inflammation pathway in lung cancer. 相似文献

Introduction: It has been suggested that allergies are inversely associated with glioma risk. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in two allergy-related genes [interleukin (IL)-4Rα, IL-13] have been implicated in susceptibility to glioma; however, results from the published studies remained inconclusive. Methods: To derive a more precise relationship, we conducted a meta-analysis including seven case–control studies that investigated the influence of IL-4Rα rs1801275 and IL13 rs20541 polymorphisms on glioma risk. Data were extracted from these studies and pooled odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to investigate the strength of the association. Results: Overall, the pooled analysis showed that there was no significant association between the IL-4Rα rs1801275 polymorphism and glioma risk (OR = 0.99, 95%CI: 0.79–1.25, AG/GG vs. AA). However, we found that the IL13 rs20541 variant genotypes (GA/AA) were significantly associated with reduced risk for glioma (OR = 0.85, 95%CI: 0.75–0.97, GA/AA vs. GG). In the stratified analyses by ethnicity, marginally significant association between the IL13 rs20541 polymorphism and decreased glioma risk was found among Asian populations in dominant models (OR = 0.84, 95%CI: 0.70–1.00, GA/AA vs. GG). Conclusions: This meta-analysis suggests that the IL13 rs20541 but not the IL-4Rα rs1801275 polymorphism may be a genetic predictor for glioma. More studies with larger sample size are warranted to further elucidate the impact of the IL13 rs20541 polymorphism on glioma risk. 相似文献

IntroductionCentrosome aberrations and cell-cycle deregulation have important implications for ovarian cancer development. The AURKA, BRCA1, CCNE1 and CDK2 genes play pivotal roles in centrosome duplication and cell-cycle regulation.MethodsUsing a haplotype-based analysis, this study aimed to investigate whether genetic polymorphisms in these four genes may contribute to ovarian cancer susceptibility. A total of 22 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in these four genes were genotyped in 287 cases of ovarian serous cystadenocarcinomas and 618 age-matched cancer-free controls from the Chinese Han population, and then haplotype blocks were reconstructed according to our genotyping data and linkage disequilibrium (LD) status of these SNPs.ResultsFor AURKA, we found that haplotype GA [rs6064391 (T→G) + rs911162 (G→A)] was strongly associated with decreased ovarian cancer risk (adjusted OR = 0.31, 95% CI = 0.15–0.63, P = 0.0012). For BRCA1, we found that haplotype CGTAG was associated with decreased ovarian cancer risk (adjusted OR = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.41–0.98, P = 0.0417). Moreover, women harboring homozygous GA/CGTAG haplotypes showed the lowest risk (OR = 0.12, 95% CI = 0.02–0.94, P = 0.0438). In CCNE1, the SNPs rs3218035 and rs3218042 were significantly associated with increased ovarian cancer risk (rs3218035: adjusted OR = 5.20, 95% CI = 1.85–14.52, P = 0.0017; rs3218042: adjusted OR = 4.98, 95% CI = 1.75–14.19, P = 0.0027). For CDK2, no significant association was found.ConclusionsThis study indicates that genetic polymorphisms of AURKA, BRCA1 and CCNE1 may affect ovarian cancer susceptibility in Chinese Han women. 相似文献

PurposeThe expression of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is associated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Most studies have linked the common functional C677T and A1298C polymorphisms of the MTHFR gene and susceptibility to AML and CML, but the results were not consistent. The aim of the present study was to derive a more precise estimation of the relationship.MethodsMeta-analyses assessing the association of MTHFR C677T and A1298C variations with AML and CML were conducted. Eligible articles were identified from the PubMed and EMBASE databases. All statistical analyses were conducted using Review Manager Software.Results10 and 10 studies were included in the meta-analysis about the role of C677T polymorphism on the AML and CML risks, respectively; 6 and 4 studies were included about the role of A1298C polymorphism on the AML and CML risks, respectively. Overall, both the C677T and A1298C polymorphisms were significantly associated with CML risk under the recessive model (P = 0.04, OR = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.02–1.79 for C677T and P = 0.003, OR = 2.17, 95% CI = 1.29–3.63 for A1298C). In addition, the risk of CML was higher in 1298CC genotype carriers than in 1298AA genotype carriers (P = 0.004, OR = 2.17, 95% = 1.28–3.69). Conversely, the overall data failed to indicate a significant association of C677T or A1298C polymorphisms with AML risk under any model.ConclusionsThe findings provide evidence that C677T and A1298C polymorphisms are risk factors for CML risk. 相似文献

PurposeTranslesion DNA synthesis (TLS) plays an important role in promoting replication through DNA lesions. Genetic polymorphisms in TLS genes may have potential roles in lung cancer development in humans.MethodsWe evaluated the association between genetic variants in six TLS genes and the risk and survival of lung cancer in a case–control study in China. Included in the study are 224 lung cancer patients and 448 healthy controls.ResultsCarriers of the G allele of POLκ rs5744724 had significantly reduced risk of lung cancer (odds ratio (OR) = 0.62, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.44–0.89), comparing with those carrying the C allele, and the AA genotype of PCNA rs25406 was also associated with significantly decreased cancer risk compared with the major homozygote alleles (OR = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.25–0.86). Haplotype analysis showed that subjects with the POLκ C-G (rs5744533–rs5744724) haplotype had decreased risk of lung cancer (OR = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.49–0.98), comparing with those carrying the C-C haplotype. Besides, the heterozygote of REV1 rs3087386 and rs3792136 were independent prognostic factors for lung cancer survival with hazard radio (HR) 1.54 (95% CI: 1.12–2.12) and 1.44 (95% CI: 1.06–1.97) respectively.ConclusionsOur findings suggested that genetic variants in POLκ and PCNA genes may play roles in the susceptibility of lung cancer, and REV1 gene may have roles in lung cancer survival in Chinese men. 相似文献

Background: A complex of genetic and environmental factors is involved in carcinogenesis of the esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Glutathione-S-Transferases (GSTs) are phase-II enzymes playing role in detoxification of carcinogen electrophiles. Genetic polymorphisms of GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1 in association with some environmental factors and their impact on esophageal cancer susceptibility were assessed in the Iranian population. Methods: Genomic DNA of peripheral blood leukocytes from 148 confirmed esophageal cancer cases and 137 healthy individuals as control group was assayed for restriction fragment length polymorphisms in the GSTP1 loci by PCR amplification followed by digestion with Alw26I. Deletion of the GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes was detected by multiplex PCR. A data-mining method based on decision trees was applied to produce a predictive model of interactions between genotypes. Results: Smoking was independently associated with ESCC (p < 0.05, OR: 2.286, 95% CI = 1.311–3.983). Smoking along with GSTP1 Val/Val genotype was associated to ESCC (p < 0.001, OR: 3.886, 95% CI = 1.830–8.251), while non-smokers with GSTP1 Val/Val were significantly more frequent in non-cancerous group. (p = 0.007, OR: 0.507, 95% CI = 0.309–0.830). Conclusions: Data-mining methods are useful tools to map out a scheme for predicting complex relations and combinations of different genotypes. Genotyping analysis of GSTP1 together with assessment of smoking seems to be important in determining the risk of ESCC in the Iranian population. 相似文献

Background: Chromosome 19q13.3 has been identified as one of the regions that associate with cancer risk in previous studies. Methods: We systematically examined the 70.772 kb region comprising four genes on chromosome 19q13.3 among Chinese using the haplotype-tagging SNP (htSNP) approach and the HapMap platform. The study involved 339 lung cancer cases and 358 non-cancer controls. Two htSNPs (rs1046282 and rs735482) captured most of the common haplotypes of CD3EA and the combined effects of sixteen htSNPs provided high coverage of common haplotypes of ERCC2, PPP1R13L, CD3EAP and ERCC1. Results: Both carriers of variant CC genotype [adjusted OR (95% CI) = 1.28 (1.02–1.60), P = 0.04] and variant C-allele among >20 years’ smokers [OR (95% CI) = 2.13 (1.24–3.67), P = 0.006] for CD3EAP rs735482 were at increased risk of lung cancer. Four haplotype blocks of strong linkage disequilibrium were identified. The haplotype ERCC2 rs3916874G and rs238415C [OR (95% CI) = 1.26 (1.02–1.57), P = 0.03] in block 1 and the haplotype PPP1R13L rs4803817A, CD3EAP rs1046282T, rs735482C, ERCC1 rs3212980A, rs3212964G [OR (95% CI) = 3.56 (1.55–8.18), P = 0.005] in block 3 were associated with lung cancer risk. MDR (multifactor dimensionality reduction) analysis demonstrated the best significant model of two-attributes containing smoking duration and rs2298881 in ERCC1 (P = 0.004–0.005) and suggested that the effects of high-order interactions among smoking duration and ERCC2, PPP1R13, ERCC1 htSNPs could modulate lung cancer risk. Conclusions: HapMap-based study of 19q13.3 identified that genetic variation of CD3EAP and two loci were associated with lung cancer risk and interaction of smoking duration and genetic variants was the strongest predictor of lung cancer risk in a Chinese population. 相似文献

Background: The CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP), together with extensive promoter methylation, is regarded as one of the mechanisms involved in colorectal carcinogenesis. The mechanisms underlying CIMP in sporadic colorectal cancer are poorly understood. Genes involved in methyl-group metabolism are likely to affect DNA methylation and thereby influence an individual's risk of CIMP. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether polymorphisms in the genes encoding methyl-group metabolism pathway predispose to CIMP+ and/or CIMP? CRC. Methods: We examined the potential association between the polymorphisms of MTHFR 677C>T, TS 5′UTR 2R/3R, TS 3′UTR 1494del6, ΔDNMT3B ?149C>T and DNMT3B ?283T>C in a group of 46 CIMP+ CRC cases, 140 CIMP? CRC cases and 140 healthy controls. The CIMP status of the CRC cases was determined by MS-PCR in tumor tissue by a panel of five markers (CACNA1G, IGF2, NEUROG1, RUNX3 and SOCS1), which was also followed by analyzing hMLH1 methylation and BRAF V600E mutation. Results: The variant allele homozygote genotype for the ΔDNMT3B ?283T>C polymorphism was associated with a decreased risk for CIMP+ CRC (OR: 0.31, 95%CI: 0.09–0.73, p = 0.009). Individuals with TS 3R/3R had an increased risk of CIMP? CRC (OR: 2.21, 95%CI: 1.23–4.91, p = 0.01). Moreover, the carriers of 3R allele had an increased risk of CIMP? CRC (OR: 1.45, 95%CI: 1.10–2.13, p = 0.01). Conclusion: This study provides support to the hypothesis that methyl-group metabolism plays a role in the etiology of both CIMP+ and CIMP? colorectal cancers but has a different impact on a distinct molecular subgroups of colorectal cancer. 相似文献
