METHODS: In this case-control study, the association of SOD and CAT gene polymorphism was studied by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. The study was conducted among 400 clinically breast cancer patients and 400 healthy women in a population of South-Western Maharashtra. The logistic regression analysis was carried out to calculate Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval and p-value, where p ≤0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
RESULTS: The results of analysis of genotype frequency distribution showed significant association of rs4880 SNP of Mn-SOD with BC risk at homozygous variant (CC/CC) genotype (OR 2.46; 95%CI, 1.61-3.75; p<0.0001) and corresponding frequency of variant (C) allele (OR 1.53; 95%CI, 1.25-1.86; p<0.0001). In CAT gene polymorphisms the variant (T/T) was increased significantly in BC cases as compared to controls (OR 3.45; 95%CI, 2.17-5.50; p<0.0001) along with its variant (T) allele (OR 2.01; 95%CI, 1.63-2.48; p<0.0001).
CONCLUSIONS: The results implied that, C/C genotype of SOD2-1183T/C polymorphism and T/T genotype of CAT-262 C/T polymorphism may be associated with an increased breast cancer risk. However, SOD1-251 A/G and SOD3-172 G/A polymorphisms did not show any significant difference in variant homozygous genotypes of patients compared to controls.
方法:在本病例对照研究中,通过聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性(PCR-RFLP)方法研究了SOD和CAT基因多态性的相关性。这项研究是在西南马哈拉施特拉邦的400名临床乳腺癌患者和400名健康女性中进行的。进行logistic回归分析,以95%置信区间和p值计算比值比(OR)。其中p≤0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
结果:基因型频率分布的分析结果表明,Mn-SOD的rs4880SNP与纯合变体(CC/CC)基因型(OR2.46;95CI,1.61-3.75;p<0.0001)和相应的变体(C)等位基因频率(OR1.53;95CI,1.25-1.86;p<0.0001)的BC风险显着相关。在CAT基因多态性中,与对照组相比,BC病例的变体(T/T)显着增加(OR3.45;95CI,2.17-5.50;p<0.0001)及其变体(T)等位基因(OR2.01;95CI,1.63-2.48;p<0.0001)。
结论:结果暗示,SOD2-1183T/C多态性的C/C基因型和CAT-262C/T多态性的T/T基因型可能与乳腺癌风险增加有关。然而,与对照组相比,SOD1-251A/G和SOD3-172G/A多态性在患者的纯合基因型变体中没有显示任何显着差异。
