Microsomal glutathione S-transferase gene polymorphisms and colorectal cancer risk in a Han Chinese population. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • * The researchers identified 13 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the MGST1 gene, four of which were novel, and discovered a high level of genetic diversity along with common haplotypes indicating extensive recombination in this gene region.
  • * Although no individual SNPs showed a strong association with CRC risk, a specific genotype involving two SNPs (102G>A and 16416G>A) indicated a

Article Abstract

Background And Aims: Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are phase II detoxification enzymes. Human GSTs have been classified into cytosolic, mitochondrial, and microsomal families. Several studies reported the association of colorectal cancer (CRC) risk with the genetic polymorphisms of cytosolic GSTs. The microsomal GSTs are structurally distinct but functionally similar to cytosolic GSTs; their association with CRC has not been reported. In this report, we summarized the result of a case-control study aimed at investigating the association of MGST1 gene locus polymorphisms with CRC risk among Han Chinese.

Patient/methods: Three hundred and seventy-two healthy controls and 238 sporadic CRC patients participated in this study. DNA resequencing was conducted for the 3.4 kb genomic DNA region containing the promoter, exons, exon-intron junctions, and the 5' and 3' untranslated regions.

Results: We detected 13 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) including four novel SNPs not reported in database/literature. The gene shows a much higher nucleotide diversity than most human genes. The linkage and recombination analysis revealed 24 common haplotypes (13% > or = freq > or = 1%) and identified extensive intragenic recombination throughout the MGST1 locus (R = 81.8). Significant CRC association (P < or = 0.005) was not detected for each individual SNP. However, SNPs 102G>A and 16416G>A reached a marginal level of statistical significance with P values of 0.016 and 0.078, respectively. A combined genotype analysis detected a statistically significant CRC association for individuals carrying 102G>A/16416G>A (GG/GG) genotype (adjusted OR, 1.682; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.177-2.404; P = 0.004). Consistent with the results of genotype analysis, the GG haplotype (102G>A/16416G>A) with two risk alleles was associated with a significantly higher CRC risk comparing with the haplotypes with one or no risk allele (adjusted OR 1.744; 95% CI 1.309-2.322; P = 0.0001).

Conclusion: The results suggest that MGST1 polymorphisms may contribute to CRC risk among Han Chinese.
