This case-control study aimed to determine if there were any associations between the two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Gc, rs7041 (Asp416Glu) and rs4588 (Thr420Lys) and 3 common cancers (breast, lung and colorectal) in Thai patients.
Two hundred and eighty two colorectal, 101 breast and 113 lung cancer patients were recruited from one institute during 2011-2013. The controls were age-matched volunteers who had a negative history of index cancers. In addition, vitamin D levels were compared among different genotypes in the 2 SNPs.
The minor allele frequencies of rs7041 (G) and rs4588 (A) were 0.32 and 0.24, respectively. Under the dominant model, the study found significant associations between minor-allele genotypes of the SNP rs7041 (TG/GG) and lung cancer (odds ratio [OR] 1.78, 95% CI 1.05-3.03). When subgroup analysis was performed according to sex and age at diagnosis, the study found that the minor- allele genotypes of rs7041 (TG/GG) were significantly associated with colorectal cancer in patients whose age at diagnosis was more than 60 years (OR 1.67, 95%CI 1.06-2.61) and the minor-allele genotypes of rs4588 (CA/AA) were significantly associated with colorectal cancer in males aged 60 years or less (OR 2.34, 95%CI 1.25-4.37). When SNP combinations (rs7041-rs4588) were examined, the TT-CA combination had a significant protective association with lung cancer (OR 0.44, 95% CI 0.22-0.85). On evaluation of serum 25(OH)D levels in 205 individuals without cancer (males 144, females 61), the proportion of subjects with low serum vitamin D (< 20 ng/ml) in those harboring CA or AA genotypes of rs4588 (41.7%) was significantly higher than the CC genotype (15.5%, p-value < 0.01).
Genetic polymorphisms in Gc were associated with lung and colorectal cancers in Thai patients. Lower serum 25(OH)D in minor variants of rs4588 may explain this association.
本病例对照研究旨在确定泰国患者中维生素转运蛋白(Gc)基因的两个单核苷酸多态性(SNP),即rs7041(Asp416Glu)和rs4588(Thr420Lys)与三种常见癌症(乳腺癌、肺癌和结直肠癌)之间是否存在关联。
2011年至2013年期间,从一家机构招募了282例结直肠癌患者、101例乳腺癌患者和113例肺癌患者。对照组为年龄匹配且无相关癌症病史的志愿者。此外,还比较了这两个SNP不同基因型之间的维生素D水平。
rs7041(G)和rs4588(A)的次要等位基因频率分别为0.32和0.24。在显性模型下,研究发现SNP rs7041的次要等位基因基因型(TG/GG)与肺癌之间存在显著关联(优势比[OR]1.78,95%置信区间1.05 - 3.03)。当根据诊断时的性别和年龄进行亚组分析时,研究发现rs7041的次要等位基因基因型(TG/GG)与诊断年龄大于60岁的患者的结直肠癌显著相关(OR 1.67,95%置信区间1.06 - 2.61),而rs4588的次要等位基因基因型(CA/AA)与60岁及以下男性的结直肠癌显著相关(OR 2.34,95%置信区间1.25 - 4.37)。当检查SNP组合(rs7041 - rs4588)时,TT - CA组合与肺癌存在显著的保护关联(OR 0.44,95%置信区间0.22 - 0.85)。在对205名无癌症个体(男性144名,女性61名)的血清25(OH)D水平进行评估时,携带rs4588的CA或AA基因型的受试者中血清维生素D水平低(< 20 ng/ml)的比例(41.7%)显著高于CC基因型(15.5%,p值< 0.01)。
Gc基因的遗传多态性与泰国患者的肺癌和结直肠癌有关。rs4588次要变体中较低的血清25(OH)D水平可能解释了这种关联。
