To investigate whether the glutathione S-transferase polymorphisms GSTM1 and/or GSTT1 contribute to prostate cancer risk in a Caribbean population of African descent in Guadeloupe.
We performed a hospital-based case-control study with 134 prostate cancer patients and 134 cancer-free, age-matched control subjects. Epidemiologic data were collected using a standard questionnaire. Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and compute confidence intervals (CIs). Genotypes were determined by multiplex polymerase chain reaction.
The frequency of the GSTM1-positive genotype was 81% in patients and 73% in control subjects, with an adjusted OR of 1.4 (95% CI 0.7 to 2.5). The frequency of the GSTT1-positive genotype was 78% in patients and 63% in control subjects, with an adjusted OR of 2.6 (95% CI 1.4 to 4.9).
A functional GSTT1 polymorphism may be associated with prostate cancer susceptibility in a Caribbean population of African descent.
研究谷胱甘肽S-转移酶基因多态性GSTM1和/或GSTT1是否与瓜德罗普岛非洲裔加勒比人群的前列腺癌风险相关。
我们进行了一项基于医院的病例对照研究,纳入134例前列腺癌患者和134例年龄匹配的无癌对照对象。使用标准问卷收集流行病学数据。采用逻辑回归估计比值比(OR)并计算置信区间(CI)。通过多重聚合酶链反应确定基因型。
患者中GSTM1阳性基因型的频率为81%,对照对象中为73%,校正后的OR为1.4(95%CI 0.7至2.5)。患者中GSTT1阳性基因型的频率为78%,对照对象中为63%,校正后的OR为2.6(95%CI 1.4至4.9)。
功能性GSTT1基因多态性可能与非洲裔加勒比人群的前列腺癌易感性相关。
