METHODS: This case-control study was performed on 156 breast cancer patients, 156 cervical cancer patients, and 156 controls using the tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction. The statistical software package SPSS (version 25.0) was applied for analyses. The genetic association was measured by the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). A statistically significant association was considered when p-value ≤ 0.05. Functional analysis was performed using GEPIA and UALCAN databases.
RESULTS: From the calculation of the association of IL-17A rs3748067 with breast cancer, it is found that no genotype or allele showed a statistically significant association (p>0.05). On the other hand, the analysis of IL-17A rs3748067 with cervical cancer demonstrated that CT genotype showed a significant association (CT vs. CC: OR=1.79, p=0.021). In the overdominant model, CT genotype also revealed a statistically significant association with cervical cancer, which is found to be statistically significant (OR=1.84, p=0.015).
CONCLUSIONS: Our study summarizes that rs3748067 polymorphism in the IL-17A gene may be associated with cervical cancer but not breast cancer in Bangladeshi patients. However, we suggest studies in the future with a larger sample size.
方法:这项病例对照研究是对156例乳腺癌患者进行的,156例宫颈癌患者,和156个对照使用四引物扩增难治性突变系统-聚合酶链反应。应用统计软件包SPSS(25.0版)进行分析。通过比值比(OR)和95%置信区间(CI)测量遗传关联。当p值≤0.05时,认为有统计学意义的关联。使用GEPIA和UALCAN数据库进行功能分析。
结果:通过计算IL-17Ars3748067与乳腺癌的相关性,发现没有基因型或等位基因显示有统计学意义的相关性(p>0.05)。另一方面,IL-17Ars3748067与宫颈癌的分析表明,CT基因型显示出显着关联(CT与CC:OR=1.79,p=0.021)。在占主导地位的模型中,CT基因型也揭示了与宫颈癌的统计学显著关联,发现具有统计学意义(OR=1.84,p=0.015)。
结论:我们的研究总结了IL-17A基因的rs3748067多态性可能与孟加拉国患者的宫颈癌有关,但与乳腺癌无关。然而,我们建议将来进行更大样本量的研究。
