Diabetes is associated with an increased risk of cancer. This study aimed to evaluate associations between recently reported type 2 diabetes (T2D) susceptibility genetic variants and cancer risk in a prospective cohort of Chinese patients with T2D.
Seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in IGF2BP2, CDKAL1, SLC30A8, CDKN2A/B, HHEX and TCF7L2, all identified from genome-wide association studies of T2D, were genotyped in 5900 T2D patients [age mean ± SD = 57 ± 13 years, % males = 46] without any known cancer at baseline. Associations between new-onset of cancer and SNPs were tested by Cox proportional hazard models with adjustment of conventional risk factors.
During the mean follow-up period of 8.5 ± 3.3 years, 429 patients (7.3%) developed cancer. Of the T2D-related SNPs, the G-alleles of HHEX rs7923837 (hazard ratio [HR] (95% C.I.) = 1.34 (1.08-1.65); P = 6.7 ×10(-3) under dominant model) and TCF7L2 rs290481 (HR (95% C.I.) = 1.16 (1.01-1.33); P = 0.040 under additive model) were positively associated with cancer risk, while the G-allele of CDKAL1 rs7756992 was inversely associated (HR (95% C.I.) = 0.80 (0.65-1.00); P = 0.048 under recessive model). The risk alleles of these significant SNPs exhibited combined effect on increasing cancer risk (per-allele HR (95% C.I.) = 1.25 (1.12-1.39); P = 4.8 × 10(-5)). The adjusted cancer risk was 2.41 (95% C.I. 1.23-4.69) for patients with four risk alleles comparing to patients without risk allele.
T2D-related variants HHEX rs7923837, TCF7L2 rs290481 and CDKAL1 rs7756992 increased cancer risk in patients with diabetes.
Our findings provide novel insights into the pathogenesis of cancer in diabetes.
糖尿病与癌症风险增加有关。本研究旨在评估在中国 2 型糖尿病患者前瞻性队列中,最近报道的 2 型糖尿病(T2D)易感性遗传变异与癌症风险之间的关系。
在 5900 名无任何已知癌症的基线 T2D 患者(年龄平均±标准差=57±13 岁,男性百分比=46%)中,对 IGF2BP2、CDKAL1、SLC30A8、CDKN2A/B、HHEX 和 TCF7L2 中所有与全基因组关联研究发现的 7 个单核苷酸多态性(SNP)进行基因分型。通过 Cox 比例风险模型,对新发病例癌症与 SNP 之间的相关性进行调整,以调整传统危险因素。
在平均 8.5±3.3 年的随访期间,429 名患者(7.3%)发生癌症。在与 T2D 相关的 SNP 中,HHEX rs7923837 的 G 等位基因(危险比[HR](95%CI.)=1.34(1.08-1.65);P=6.7×10(-3),显性模型)和 TCF7L2 rs290481 的 G 等位基因(HR(95%CI.)=1.16(1.01-1.33);P=0.040,加性模型)与癌症风险呈正相关,而 CDKAL1 rs7756992 的 G 等位基因则呈负相关(HR(95%CI.)=0.80(0.65-1.00);P=0.048,隐性模型)。这些显著 SNP 的风险等位基因表现出对增加癌症风险的综合影响(每个等位基因 HR(95%CI.)=1.25(1.12-1.39);P=4.8×10(-5))。与无风险等位基因的患者相比,携带 4 个风险等位基因的患者调整后的癌症风险为 2.41(95%CI.1.23-4.69)。
T2D 相关变异 HHEX rs7923837、TCF7L2 rs290481 和 CDKAL1 rs7756992 增加了糖尿病患者的癌症风险。
我们的研究结果为糖尿病患者癌症发病机制提供了新的见解。
