Background: The polymorphism of survivin gene at its promoter region is one of the risk factors for OSCC . Thispolymorphism involves substitution of G for C (9904341), and it is present at the cell cycle dependent elements andcell cycle homology region repressor binding motif of promoter. This study aimed to find the association betweensurvivin -31C/G polymorphism and prevalence of OSCC in a subset of Pakistani population. Methodology: Thiscase-control study was conducted on 47 cases with and 101 healthy individuals with no family history of cancer. We usedpolymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) protocols. Results: The mostcommon site of oral cancer in our research was the buccal mucosa followed by tongue and the least one was the labialmucosa. The histological tumor type of all 47 cases was squamous cell type. In our research, stage II had the highestprevalence, accounting for 34% of patients, while the prevalence of stage I was 31% in the case group. The prevalenceof stage III and IV was 25% and 8%, respectively. The numbers of moderately and poorly differentiated tumors wereequal. We found a significant association between the CC genotype of survivin and OSCC prevalence (OR was 9.395at 95% CI: 1.0202-86.5251, p-value= 0.04). The GG genotype also showed significant P value (OR: 0.4709 with 95%CI: 0.2323- 0.9546 at a P VALUE of 0.0367). while no significant P value was noted for CG genotype (OR: 1.4317 with95% CI: 0.7513 -2.8658, p- value= 0.31). Conclusion: Survivin -31G/C polymorphism was strongly associated withOSCC prevalence. The C allele was more common in case group as compared to healthy individuals living in Pakistan. 相似文献

Background: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been implicated in the development of breast cancer (BC) since 1995. It is classified into A/B genotypes, C/D subtypes, and F/f variants according to variations in its genome. Aim: To determine the distribution difference of EBV types between BC patients and healthy controls in Egypt and to detect the association between different EBV types and BC characteristics. Methods: Three hundred and sixty-two participants (142 BC patients and 220 controls) were enrolled in this study. All participants were screened for EBV infection by determination of viral-capsid-IgG antibodies in their sera. EBNA-1 gene was detected by PCR in tumor biopsies of seropositive patients and in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of controls. A/B genotyping of EBV was performed by nested-PCR targeting the EBNA-2 gene. C/D subtypes and F/f variants were identified by Restriction fragment length polymorphism at BamHI-I W1/I1 and BamHI-F regions of EBV genome, respectively. Results: Among 362 participants, 300(82.9%) were EBV-seropositive, including 120/142(84.5%) of the BC patients and 180/220(81.8 %) of the controls. EBNA-1 gene was positive in 54(45%) of seropositive BC patients and in 38(21.1%) of seropositive controls. There was a significant association of EBNA-1 gene with breast cancer (OR=3.05, 95%CI=1.84-5.07). Moreover, EBNA-1 gene positivity was significantly associated with the more aggressive tumors. Genotype-A and prototype-F were predominant among patients (90.4%, 100%, respectively) as well as among controls (91.7%, 100%, respectively) with no statistical significant association with BC risk. However, subtype-D was significantly more frequent in patients (95.6%) than in controls (64.7%) and was significantly associated with a higher BC risk as compared to subtype-C (OR=11.7, 95%CI=2.4-57.08). Subtype-D was significantly associated with higher grades tumors (100% among grade III), with progesteron receptor-negative tumors and with HER2-positive tumors (100% for each). The combined genotypes that significantly associated with BC risk were ADF (OR=4.9) and BDF (OR=5.5). Conclusions: Subtype-D of EBV could be the only EBV type implicated in BC development among Egyptian females and associated more with poor prognosis. 相似文献

Background: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) -173G/C (rs755622) gene polymorphism hasbeen associated with cancer risk. Previous studies have revealed that MIF -173G/C gene polymorphism mayincrease cancer in the Chinese population, while results of individual published studies remain inconsistentand inconclusive.We performed this meta-analysis to derive a more precise estimation of the relationship.Materials and Methods: We conducted a search on PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library ,ChineseNational Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, Weipu on Dec 31, 2014.Odds ratio (OR) and 95%confidence interval (95% CI) were used to assess the association. A total of eight studies including 2,186 casesand 2,285 controls were involved in this meta-analysis. Results: The pooled results indicated the significantassociation between MIF −173G/C polymorphism and the risk of cancer for Chinese population (CC + CGvs GG: OR=1.14, 95%CI=1.02-127, pheterogeneity<0.01; P =0.023; CC vs CG+GG: OR=1.12, 95%CI=1.02-1.23, pheterogeneity< 001; P =0.017;CC vs GG: OR=1.18, 95%CI=1.04-1.33, pheterogeneity<001; P =0.008;CG vs GG:OR=1.03, 95%CI=0.91-1.15, pheterogeneity<001; P =0.656; C vs G:OR=1.24, 95%CI=1.14-1.25,pheterogeneity<001; P <001). Subgroup analysis showed that in patients with “solid tumors”, heterogeneitywas very large (OR=0.94,95%CI=0.83-1.06,pheterogeneity=0.044; p=0.297). Within “non-solid tumors”, theassociation became even stronger (OR=6.62, 95 % CI=4.32-10.14, pheterogeneity<0.001; p <0.001). Conclusions:This study suggested that MIF −173G/C gene polymorphism may increase increase cancer in the Chinesepopulation.Furthermore, more larger sample and representative population-based casees and well-matchedcontrols are needed to validate our results. 相似文献

Background: TP53 mutations are the most common genetic alterations in human cancers. There are alsoseveral polymorphisms in both exons and introns of TP53 that may influence its anti-tumor functions and increasethe risk of cancer development. Associations of the TP53 intron 6 G13964C polymorphism with increased risk ofdevelopment of several cancers have been investigated in numerous studies, but the results were controversialand conflicting. In this study, we aimed to investigate the probable association of this polymorphism with riskof both thyroid and breast cancers among the Iranian-Azeri population. Materials and Methods: We performedtwo separate case control studies on associations of the intron 6 polymorphism with two different kinds ofcancer. In one case-control study, a total of 75 patients with thyroid carcinoma and 180 controls were analyzedand the other study included 170 patients with breast cancer and 135 healthy women. The intron 6 genotypewas determined by RFLP-PCR and the SPSS 16 program was applied for data analysis. Results: For thyroidcancer, the frequencies of GG genotype were 96.0% in patients and 93.3% in controls. The GC genotype had afrequency of 4.0 % in patients and 6.7% in controls. In the study on breast cancer, the frequency of GG and GCgenotypes in patients were 95.3% and 4.7%, respectively. In breast related control group, the frequency of GGgenotype was 93.3 % and the frequency of GC genotype was 6.7%. None of the cases and controls had the CCgenotype. Conclusions: There was no significant association between the TP53 intron 6 G13964C polymorphismand risk of development of both thyroid and breast cancer in Iranian-Azeri patients. 相似文献

Background
Breast cancer is one of the most relevant malignancies among women. Molecular abnormalities in promotor region of survivin gene may account for overexpression of survivin and increased breast cancer risk. This study aimed to explore the potential association between survivin promotor gene -31G/C single nucleotide polymorphism (rs9904341) and its serum level alteration on one hand, and the risk of breast cancer in Egyptian patients on the other hand. It also aimed to assess the usefulness of survivin as an early noninvasive diagnostic biomarker and in breast cancer staging.Patients and Methods
A total of 135 patients with physically and pathologically confirmed breast cancer and 40 unrelated control subjects as well as 40 patients with benign breast mass were recruited from the early detection unit at National Cancer Institute, Cairo University. Genotyping was performed using allelic discrimination probes by real-time quantitative PCR and serum survivin by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results
The minor allele C of -31G/C survivin single nucleotide polymorphism was more frequent in breast cancer patients (19.3%) compared to the control group (7.5%). Furthermore, subjects with the GC + CC genotype were at increased risk of breast cancer compared to the GG genotype of the control group and also the benign group. Moreover, those patients exhibited higher serum levels of survivin compared to GG genotype. There was also significant elevation of serum survivin in different breast cancer stages.Conclusion
Genetic variation in -31G/C of the survivin gene may contribute to the disposition of breast cancer in the Egyptian population. Serum survivin alteration played a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of breast cancer. 相似文献6.

Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is an important protein involved in the regulation of theimmune system. The +49 G/A polymorphism is the only genetic variation in the CTLA-4 gene that causes anamino acid change in the resulting protein. It is therefore the most extensively studied polymorphism among allCTLA-4 genetic variants and contributions to increasing the likelihood of developing cancer are well known invarious populations, especially Asians. However, there have hiterto been no data with respect to the effect of thispolymorphism on breast cancer susceptibility in our North Indian population. We therefore assayed genomicDNA of 250 breast cancer subjects and an equal number of age-, sex- and ethnicity-matched healthy controlsfor the CTLA-4 +49 G/A polymorphism but no significant differences in either the gene or allele frequency werefound. Thus the CTLA-4 +49 G/A polymorphism may be associated with breast cancer in other Asians, but itappears to have no such effect in North Indians. The study also highlights the importance of conducting geneticassociation studies in different ethnic populations. 相似文献

Background: Colon cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Apoptosis is a necessaryphysiological process for cell elimination which is very important both cellular homeostasis and cell proliferationand differantiation. Dysregulation can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and tumor development. Survivin, amember of the IAP family, plays a key role in promotion of cell proliferation as well as inhibition of apoptosis incancer cells. The aim of this study was to investigate whether specific genetic polymorphisms of survivin could beassociated with colon cancer development and progression in a Turkish population. Our study is the first to ourknowledge to investigate the relationship between colon cancer risk and survivin gene polymorphisms. Materialsand Methods: The relation between colon cancer and survivin -31 G/C (rs9904341), -241 C/T (rs17878467) and-625 C/G (rs8073069) polymorphism in promotor site of survivin gene associated with apoptosis was investigatedusing the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Results:Individuals with -31C allele and CC genotype were found to have a higher risk of developing colon cancer(OR=13.4, p=0.01). The -241 CT genotype considerably increased the risk of colon cancer (OR=12.0, p=0.0001).However, there was no significant varaition of the survivin -625 C/G polymorphism among colon cancer patientsand controls in our study. Conclusions: This study provides the first evidence that survivin -31 G/C and -241C/T SNP significantly contribute to the risk of colon cancer in the Turkish population. 相似文献

Background: Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small, noncoding RNA molecules. They can function as either oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) present in the pre-miRNA region could affect the processing of miRNA and thus alter mature miRNA expression. The studies done so far had shown conflicting results regarding association of two common polymorphisms i.e.hsa-miR-146 rs2910164 and hsa-miR-196a2 rs11614913 with breast cancer. OBJECTIVE: In the study, we examined the hsa-miR-146 rs2910164 and hsa-miR-196a2 rs11614913 SNP association with breast cancer patients in north Indian women. Materials and Methods: This study included 100 breast cancer patients and 100 controls and was done over a period of two years. Genotypes of the hsa-miR-146 (rs2910164 G>C) and hsa-miR-196a2 (rs11614913 C>T) were identified by polymerase chain reaction – restriction length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique in peripheral blood DNA samples. Statistical analysis: We assessed the strength of association of miRNA polymorphisms with breast cancer using Odds ratio (OR) along with 95% confidence intervals. Results: Heterozygous genotypes of hsa-miR-196a2 rs11614913 and combined hsa-miR-146 rs2910164 & hsa-miR-196a2 polymorphism were associated with significantly increased risk of breast cancer (OR-1.7, 95% CI–1.00-3.18) and (OR-1.9, 95% CI-0.85-4.46) respectively. Conclusion: Our study suggests that rs2910164 GC and rs11614913 CT genotypes may contribute to breast cancer susceptibility in north Indian women. 相似文献

Background: Breast cancer is a leading cause of death in women worldwide. Genetic polymorphisms have beenreported to be important etiological factors. Murine double minute 2 (MDM2) T309G interacts with p53 and mutationsin p53 are present in approximately 50% of all cancers. However, it has been reported that effect of the polymorphismon breast cancer risk may vary in different populations. Here, we therefore investigated whether there is an associationbetween MDM2 T309G (rs2279744) polymorphism and breast cancer in a Turkish population. Materials and Methods:We analysed 110 patients with breast cancer and 138 matched? controls. For genotyping, polymerase chain reactionand restriction length fragment polymorphism methods were used. Results: A significant difference was observedbetween case and control groups with regard to the distribution of the MDM2 T309G polymorphism (p<0.05). Therewas a significantly higher frequency of the TT genotype in the control group (p=0.028; OR, 2.42; 95% CI, 1.09-5.37).However, we did not find any relationships among tumor grade and metastasis status and this polymorphism. Conclusion:This study indicates that the MDM2 T309G polymorphism GG genotype and the TG+GG combination may be riskfactors for breast cancer in our Turkish population. 相似文献

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent regulator of angiogenesis and thereby involved in thedevelopment and progression of solid tumours. Associations between three VEGF gene polymorphisms (-634G/C, +936 C/T, and +1612 G/A) and breast cancer risk have been extensively studied, but the currently availableresults are inconclusive. Our aim was to investigate associations between three VEGF gene polymorphisms andbreast cancer risk in Chinese Han patients. We performed a hospital-based case-control study including 680female incident breast cancer patients and 680 female age-matched healthy control subjects. Polymerase chainreaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis was performed to detect the threeVEGF gene polymorphisms. We observed that women carriers of +936 TT genotypes [odds ratio (OR) =0.46,95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.28, 0.76; P=0.002] or 936 T-allele (OR=0.81, 95% CI= 0.68, 0.98; P=0.03) hada protective effect concerning the disease. Our study suggested that the +1612G/A polymorphism was unlikelyto be associated with breast cancer risk. The -634CC genotype was significantly associated with high tumoraggressiveness [large tumor size (OR=2.63, 95% CI=1.15, 6.02; P=0.02) and high histologic grade (OR=1.47,95% CI= 1.06, 2.03; P=0.02)]. The genotypes were not related with other tumor characteristics such as regionalor distant metastasis, stage at diagnosis, or estrogen or progesterone receptor status. Our study revealed thatthe VEGF -634 G/C and +936 C/T gene polymorphisms may be associated with breast cancer in Chinese Hanpatients. 相似文献

Background: The 2518 A/G polymorphism in the MCP-1 gene has been extensively studied for associationswith cancer; however, results from replication studies have been inconsistent. The aim of this investigationwas to determine links with risk of cancer by meta-analysis. Methods: We searched Pubmed, Embase, CNKI,Weipu and Wanfang databases, covering all case-control studies until March, 2013. Statistical analyses wereperformed using the Revman 5.0 software. Results: A total of 11 case-control studies met our inclusion criteria,including 1,422 cases and 2,237 controls. The results indicated that the MCP-1 2518 gene polymorphism had noassociation with cancer risk overall (GG vs.GA+ AA: OR = 0.89, 95%CI = 0.61–1.28, P = 0.52). However, in thesubgroup analysis by ethnicity, a decrease of cancer risk was found in Asian populations (GG vs.GA+ AA: OR =0.79, 95%CI = 0.63–0.99, P = 0.04). Conclusion: This meta-analysis suggested that the 2518A/G polymorphismof MCP-1 gene is associated with risk of cancer among Asian, but not in Caucasian populations. 相似文献

More and more evidence indicates that the G801A polymorphism in the CXCL12 gene might be associatedwith susceptibility to breast carcinoma in humans being. However, individually published results havebeen inconsistent. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to investigate the association between the G801Apolymorphism in the CXCL12 gene and breast carcinoma risk. A complete search strategy was done by theelectronic databases including PubMed and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database. A meta-analysis includingseven individual studies was carried out in order to explore the association between the G801A polymorphism inthe CXCL12 gene polymorphisms and breast carcinoma. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) between the G801A polymorphism in the CXCL12 gene and breast carcinomarisk were assessed by the random-effects model. A significant relationship between the G801A polymorphism inthe CXCL12 gene and breast carcinoma was discovered in an allelic genetic model (OR: 1.214, 95%CI: 1.085-1.358, p=0.001), a homozygote model (OR: 1.663, 95%CI: 1.240-2.232, p=0.001), a heterozygote model (OR:1.392, 95%CI: 1.190-1.629, p=0.000), a recessive genetic model (OR: 1.407, 95%CI: 1.060-1.868, p=0.018) and adominant genetic model (OR: 1.427, 95%CI: 1.228-1.659, p=0.000). On sub-group analysis based on ethnicity,significance was observed between the European group and the mixed group. A significant relationship wasfound between the G801A polymorphism in the CXCL12 gene and breast carcinoma risk. Individuals with theA allele of the G801A polymorphism in the CXCL12 gene are under a higher risk for breast carcinoma. 相似文献

To examine the association between breast cancer risk and a T-to-C substitution polymorphism at the 5'promoter region of CYP17, a case-control study was conducted at Aichi Cancer Center Hospital in Japan. Subjects were 144 histologically confirmed breast cancer patients diagnosed in the past 4 years and 166 hospital controls without cancer. Allele frequency among controls was 44.9% (95% confidence interval; 39.5–50.2) for C allele. Odds ratio (OR) of the polymorphism relative to TT-genotype was 0.97 (0.58-1.64) for TC-genotype and 0.81 (0.39–1.68) for CC-genotype. Subgroup analyses revealed that the OR was not statistically significant for the subgroups stratified by interval after diagnosis, age at menarche, age at first birth, menopausal status, body mass index, and mother/sisters' history of breast cancer. Consistent with previous studies conducted in other countries, the 5'promoter region polymorphism of CYP17 affected breast cancer risk of Japanese women to a limited extent. Although this is not a large-scale case-control study with population controls, these findings provide enough information to discourage further studies on the association between this polymorphism and breast cancer risk in Japan at large, and suggest that this polymorphism is useless for breast cancer risk estimation. 相似文献

Introduction
The murine double minute 4 (MDM4) protein is a negative regulator of p53, and its upregulation has been observed in many tumor types. Previous literature suggested that genetic variations in the MDM4 gene are associated with risk of different cancers. The objective of the present study was to examine the effect of 3 common genetic variants of MDM4, rs4245739 A>C, rs11801299 G>A, and rs1380576 C>G, on the risk of breast cancer (BC) in a southeast Iranian population sample.Patients and Methods
A total of 265 BC patients and 221 healthy women were included in this case-control study. We used polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism and tetra amplification refractory mutation system-PCR methods for detection of MDM4 polymorphisms.Results
Our findings showed that rs1380576 C>G was associated with a reduced risk of BC using co-dominant (GC vs. CC: odds ratio [OR], 0.54; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.34-0.84; P = .006; and GG vs. CC: OR, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.26-0.94; P = .044), dominant (CG+GG vs. CC: OR, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.35-0.82; P = .004), and allele models (G vs. C: OR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.57-0.96; P = .025). However, our study failed to show any relationship between rs4245739 A>C and rs11801299 G>A variants and BC risk (P > .05). We also found no significant association between MDM4 variants and clinical characteristics of BC patients (P > .05).Conclusion
Our findings proposed that the MDM4 rs1380576 C>G polymorphism was a protective factor for BC risk in our population. Additional studies with larger sample sizes and diverse ethnicities are required to confirm our findings. 相似文献18.

Glutagthione S-transferase (GST) is over-expressed in benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) patients, but thesignificance of GST polymorphisms for susceptibility to diseases of the prostate is unclear. The objectives ofthis study were to determine relationships between polymorphisms in the GSTM1, T1 and P1 genes with risk ofsymptomatic BPH and influence on standard therapy. A gene polymorphism association study conducted with 160symptomatic BPH patients with BPE (benign prostatic enlargement) and LUTS (lower urinary tract symptoms)and 200 age-matched controls. Patient inclusion criteria are age >50 years prostate size >30cm3, AUA (Americanurological association) score >7 and PVR volume ≤200 ml. Patients were treated with α-adrenergic blockersand 5α-reductase inhibitors for 6 months and subdivided based on their significant improvement in parametersbetween pre and post 6 month combined therapy to study associations with the GST polymorphisms. The GSTT1and GSTM1 variants genotyped with multiplex-PCR, whereas GSTP1 polymorphisms were determined withPCR-RFLP (polymerase chain reaction- restriction fragment length polymorphism). We observed a lack ofany association with the GSTT1 (p=0.45, OR=2.25, 95% CI=1.71-2.22) and GSTP1 (p=0.92 and 0.99) genes.However, there was a significant link with the null alleles of the GSTM1 (p=0.000, OR=2.24, 95%CI=1.46-3.42)gene. The combined analysis of the three genotypes demonstrated further increase in the risk of symptomaticBPH (p= 0.009, OR= 8.31 95%CI=1.71-40.37). Polymorphisms of GST genes were not associated with respondersor non-responders. Thus the GSTM1 deletion polymorphism is significantly associated with increased risk ofsymptomatic BPH, but none of the genes appearedto influence response to standard BPH therapy. 相似文献

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the let-7 miRNA binding site within the 3’ untranslated region (3’UTR) of KRAS appear related to the risk of cancer. The present case-control study was conducted with 244 BC patients and 204 healthy women to examine whether KRAS polymorphisms (rs61764370 T/G and rs712 G/T) are associated with breast cancer (BC) risk in an Iranian population. The polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was used for genotyping of KRAS SNPs. Our results showed that the rs61764370 TG genotype (OR= 3.73; 95% CI =1.38-10.08; P=0.007) as well as the G allele OR= 3.56; 95% CI =1.33-9.53; P=0.008, respectively) increased the risk of BC. However, the KRAS rs712 TT vs GG+GT genotype in a recessive model was associated with a reduced risk of BC (OR= 0.56; 95% CI =0.38-0.84; P=0.006). In addition, the rs712 T allele decreased the risk of BC compared with the G allele (OR=0.75, 95%CI=0.58-0.97, P=0.031). However, we found no relationship among KRAS SNPs and clinicopathological characteristics of BC patients (P>0.05). Taken together, the present study provided evidence of relationships between KRAS polymorphisms and BC risk in a southeast Iranian population. Additional studies using larger sample sizes and diverse ethnicities are now warranted. 相似文献

Background: Methylenetetrahydrofolate (MTHFR) is the key enzyme of the folate metabolic pathway andseveral studies have pointed to association between the MTHFR C677T polymorphism and breast cancer risk.Although significant association was observed in some studies, in others no clear link could be established.Objective: A meta-analysis of published Asian case control studies was therefor carried out to shed further lighton any C677T breast cancer association. Materials and Methods: PubMed, Springer Link, Google Scholar andElsevier databases were searched for case control studies of associations between MTHFR C677T polymorphismand breast cancer risk. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated to assess theassociation. A total of 36 studies including 8,040 cases and 10,008 controls were included in the present metaanalysis.Results: Overall, a significantly elevated breast cancer risk was associated with the T allele and TTgenotype in homozygote comparison and dominant genetic models when all studies were pooled into the metaanalysis(T vs C (allele contrast model): OR=1,23, 95%CI=1.13-1.37, p=0.000 ; TT vs CC(homozygote model):OR=1.38, 95%CI=1.16-1.63, p=0.0003; TT+CT vs CC (dominant model): OR=1.12, 95%CI=1.01-1.23, p=0.02).Conclusions: The present meta-analysis strongly suggested a significant association between the MTHFR C677Tpolymorphism and risk of breast cancer in Asian populations. 相似文献
