Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the globally prevalent and virulent types of cancer with a distinct alteration in chromosomes. Often, any alterations in the adenomatosis polyposis coli (APC), a tumor suppressor gene, and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene are related to surmise colorectal cancer significantly. In this study, we have investigated chromosomal and gene variants to discern a new-fangled gene and its expression in the southern populations of India by primarily spotting the screened APC and MTHFR variants in CRC patients. An equal number of CRC patients and healthy control subjects ( = 65) were evaluated to observe a chromosomal alteration in the concerted and singular manner for APC and MTHFR genotypes using standard protocols. The increasing prognosis was observed in persons with higher alcoholism and smoking ( < 0.05) with frequent alterations in chromosomes 1, 5, 12, 13, 15, 17, 18, 21, and 22. The APC Asp 1822Val and MTHFR C677T genotypes provided significant results, while the variant alleles of this polymorphism were linked with an elevated risk of CRC. Chromosomal alterations can be the major cause in inducing carcinogenic outcomes in CRCs and can drive to extreme pathological states.
结直肠癌(CRC)是一种全球普遍存在且恶性程度较高的癌症类型,其染色体存在明显改变。通常情况下,腺瘤性息肉病(APC)和亚甲基四氢叶酸还原酶(MTHFR)等肿瘤抑制基因的改变与结直肠癌的发生密切相关。在这项研究中,我们通过主要检测 CRC 患者中筛选出的 APC 和 MTHFR 变异体,研究了染色体和基因变异,以在印度南部人群中发现一种新的基因及其表达。我们评估了相同数量的 CRC 患者和健康对照组(=65),以观察 APC 和 MTHFR 基因型在染色体协同和单一方式上的改变,使用标准方案。结果发现,酗酒和吸烟较多的人(<0.05),以及染色体 1、5、12、13、15、17、18、21 和 22 频繁改变的人,预后较差。APC Asp 1822Val 和 MTHFR C677T 基因型提供了显著结果,而这种多态性的变异等位基因与 CRC 的风险增加有关。染色体改变可能是导致 CRC 致癌结果的主要原因,并可能导致极端的病理状态。
