Twin studies suggest a heritable component to circulating sex steroid hormones and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). In the NCI-Breast and Prostate Cancer Cohort Consortium, 874 SNPs in 37 candidate genes in the sex steroid hormone pathway were examined in relation to circulating levels of SHBG (N = 4720), testosterone (N = 4678), 3 alpha-androstanediol-glucuronide (N = 4767) and 17beta-estradiol (N = 2014) in Caucasian men. rs1799941 in SHBG is highly significantly associated with circulating levels of SHBG (P = 4.52 x 10(-21)), consistent with previous studies, and testosterone (P = 7.54 x 10(-15)), with mean difference of 26.9 and 14.3%, respectively, comparing wild-type to homozygous variant carriers. Further noteworthy novel findings were observed between SNPs in ESR1 with testosterone levels (rs722208, mean difference = 8.8%, P = 7.37 x 10(-6)) and SRD5A2 with 3 alpha-androstanediol-glucuronide (rs2208532, mean difference = 11.8%, P = 1.82 x 10(-6)). Genetic variation in genes in the sex steroid hormone pathway is associated with differences in circulating SHBG and sex steroid hormones.
双胞胎研究表明,循环中的性类固醇激素和性激素结合球蛋白(SHBG)存在遗传成分。在国立癌症研究所乳腺癌和前列腺癌队列联盟中,研究了性类固醇激素途径中37个候选基因的874个单核苷酸多态性(SNP)与白人男性循环中的SHBG水平(N = 4720)、睾酮水平(N = 4678)、3α-雄甾二醇葡萄糖醛酸苷水平(N = 4767)和17β-雌二醇水平(N = 2014)之间的关系。SHBG基因中的rs1799941与循环中的SHBG水平高度显著相关(P = 4.52×10⁻²¹),这与之前的研究一致,并且与睾酮水平也高度显著相关(P = 7.54×10⁻¹⁵),将野生型与纯合变异携带者进行比较时,平均差异分别为26.9%和14.3%。在ESR1基因的SNP与睾酮水平之间(rs722208,平均差异 = 8.8%,P = 7.37×10⁻⁶)以及SRD5A2基因的SNP与3α-雄甾二醇葡萄糖醛酸苷水平之间(rs2208532,平均差异 = 11.8%,P = 1.82×10⁻⁶)观察到了进一步值得注意的新发现。性类固醇激素途径中基因的遗传变异与循环中的SHBG和性类固醇激素差异相关。
