Although HER2/PTEN pathway is commonly disrupted in cancer, association of HER2 and PTEN polymorphisms with breast cancer (BC) remains controversial. We investigated the HER2 Ile655 Val and PTEN IVS4 polymorphisms in patients with BC in Turkish population. HER2 Ile655Val (rs 1136201) and PTEN IVS4 (rs 3830675) polymorphisms were determined using polymerase chain reaction-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in blood samples of 118 BC patients and 118 age-matched healthy controls. We found that the frequency of the Ile/Val genotype of HER2 Ile655Val gene was significantly higher in BC patients (p < 0.009; OR: 1,983 95 % CI: 1.181-3.328). The presence of ATCTT insertion (+/+) genotype at downstream of exon 4 in intron 4 of PTEN IVS4 gene was also associated with 1.83 fold decreased risk of BC development (p < 0.033; OR: 1.83, 95 % CI: 1.11-3.03). Analysis on clinico-pathological parameters showed neither HER2 Ile655Val nor PTEN IVS4 genotypes were not associated with any of the variables (p > 0.05).In conclusion, our findings suggest that the Ile/Val genotype of HER2 and ATCTT insertion (+/+) genotype of PTEN IVS4 gene may play an important role as genetic markers for breast cancer risk, but both genes genotypes may not be useful for predicting tumor prognosis in Turkish population.

Background: The polymorphisms Arg72Pro in the TP53 gene (rs1042522) and Ile655Val in the HER2 gene (rs1136201) have been related to susceptibility to several types of cancer. Different studies show the association of these polymorphisms with breast cancer, so our aim in this study was to investigate whether the Arg72Pro and Ile655Val polymorphisms have any influence on the risk of developing breast cancer in women from the city of Macapá, Amapá, located in the brazilian amazon region.
Methods And Results: We then analyzed 80 DNA samples from women with breast cancer and 83 DNA samples from women without the disease, by the Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism - Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR-RFLP) technique.
Influence of Ile655Val polymorphism on trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity in early-stage HER2 positive breast cancer.

Trastuzumab has improved the prognosis of HER2 positive breast cancer, but cardiotoxicity remains a concern. We aimed to identify risk factors for trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity, with an emphasis on the HER2 Ile655Val single nucleotide polymorphism. This single-center case-control study included 1056 patients with early-stage HER2 positive breast cancer that received adjuvant trastuzumab.

Chemotherapy is widely used in the treatment of cancer patients, but the cardiotoxicity induced by chemotherapy is still a major concern to most clinicians. Currently, genetic methods have been used to detect patients with high risk of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity (CIC), and our study evaluated the correlation between genomic variants and CIC. The systematic literature search was performed in the PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), China Biology Medicine disc (CBMdisc), the Embase database, China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI) and Wanfang database from inception until June 2020.

Background: Breast cancer is a disease in which cell grows rapidly forming a mass in the breast. HER2 polymorphisms Ile655Val have been studied as biomarkers for breast cancer and may comprise a risk factor of cardiac toxicity for breast cancer-consuming trastuzumab.
Aim Of Work: In this study, we developed a simple, low cost, and rapid test to detect polymorphism at HER2 gene using SYBR Green I-based melting curve method.
