Polymorphisms in genes encoding tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and its receptor TNF-R1 have been shown to affect one person's susceptibility to develop certain neoplastic diseases. The aim of the present association study was to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TNF-α (-308G>A) and TNF-R1 (36A>G) genes modulate the susceptibility for keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KCOTs) development in Serbian patients.
Genotyping was performed in 60 KCOT patients and 125 healthy individuals, using polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis.
A significant difference in genotype and allele frequencies was found between patients and controls for both SNPs (P < 0.05). Carriers of the TNF-α A variant had an eightfold increase of KCOT risk (OR = 8.12, 95% CI = 3.98-16.56, P < 0.0001), while carriers of the TNF-R1 G variant had approximately a fourfold increase of KCOT risk (OR=3.65, CI: 1.60-8.40, P = 0.001).
Our findings suggest that the two polymorphisms are strong risk factors for KCOT development in Serbian population.
编码肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)及其受体TNF-R1的基因多态性已被证明会影响一个人患某些肿瘤性疾病的易感性。本关联研究的目的是调查TNF-α(-308G>A)和TNF-R1(36A>G)基因中的单核苷酸多态性(SNP)是否会调节塞尔维亚患者发生牙源性角化囊性瘤(KCOT)的易感性。
采用聚合酶链反应/限制性片段长度多态性分析对60例KCOT患者和125例健康个体进行基因分型。
两个SNP的患者和对照组之间在基因型和等位基因频率上均存在显著差异(P<0.05)。TNF-α A变异体携带者患KCOT的风险增加了八倍(OR=8.12,95%CI=3.98-16.56,P<0.0001),而TNF-R1 G变异体携带者患KCOT的风险增加了约四倍(OR=3.65,CI:1.60-8.40,P=0.001)。
我们的研究结果表明,这两种多态性是塞尔维亚人群中KCOT发生的强风险因素。
