To explore whether an association exists between the NAT2 genotype and the risk of developing gastric cancer.METHODS. Ninety-nine patients with gastric adenocarcinoma and 258 healthy subjects were analysed for single-nucleotide polymorphisms at the NAT2 gene locus, which give rise to gene variants known to be associated with slow-acetylation status.
The functional NAT2*4 (wild-type) allele is over-represented among patients (40.4% of all allelic variants) compared with control subjects [25.8%, odds ratio (OR) 1.95, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.36, 2.8]. According to the NAT2 genotype, 69 patients (69.9%) and 119 healthy subjects (46%) were classified as rapid acetylators (OR 2.69, 95% CI 1.6, 4.54).
Our results, which need independent confirmation, suggest that individuals with NAT2 genotypes leading to high levels of NAT2 enzyme activity are at increased risk of developing gastric carcinoma.
探讨NAT2基因分型与患胃癌风险之间是否存在关联。方法:对99例胃腺癌患者和258名健康受试者的NAT2基因位点进行单核苷酸多态性分析,该基因位点产生的基因变异与慢乙酰化状态相关。结果:与对照组相比,功能性NAT2*4(野生型)等位基因在患者中所占比例过高(占所有等位基因变异的40.4%),对照组为25.8%,优势比(OR)为1.95,95%置信区间(CI)为1.36至2.8。根据NAT2基因分型,69例患者(69.9%)和119名健康受试者(46%)被归类为快速乙酰化者(OR为2.69,95%CI为1.6至4.54)。结论:我们的结果需要独立验证,结果表明,具有导致NAT2酶活性水平较高的NAT2基因分型的个体患胃癌的风险增加。
