The association of the polymorphism in the genes of TNF-alpha, TNF-beta and IFN-gamma with breast cancer was investigated in the present study. There were no differences in the TNF-alpha and TNF-beta alleles and genotypes frequencies between breast cancer patients (n=223) and control subjects (n=267). The correlations between TNFA or TNFB alleles or genotypes and clinicopathological indices were also insignificant. However, the frequency of IFN-gamma+874 T/T genotype was significantly higher in breast cancer patients compared to those of controls (P<0.002; OR=2.03, 95% CI=1.28-3.2) which indicates that Iranian women carrying the IFN-gamma+874 T/T genotype may be exposed to an increased risk of breast cancer development.
本研究调查了肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)、肿瘤坏死因子-β(TNF-β)和干扰素-γ(IFN-γ)基因多态性与乳腺癌的关联。乳腺癌患者(n = 223)和对照受试者(n = 267)之间的TNF-α和TNF-β等位基因及基因型频率无差异。TNFA或TNFB等位基因或基因型与临床病理指标之间的相关性也不显著。然而,与对照组相比,乳腺癌患者中干扰素-γ +874 T/T基因型的频率显著更高(P < 0.002;比值比=2.03,95%置信区间=1.28 - 3.2),这表明携带干扰素-γ +874 T/T基因型的伊朗女性可能面临患乳腺癌风险增加的情况。
