Diet, genetic susceptibility and carcinogenesis.
At least six types of gene-environment interactions (GEI) have been proposed (Kouhry and Wagener, 1993). In the first type, neither the environmental exposure (EE) nor the genetic risk factor (GRF) have any effect by themselves, but interaction between them causes disease. This is the case of phenylalanine exposure and the phenylketonuria genotype. Type 2 is a situation in which the GRF has no ...
متن کاملDiet, nutrition, and genetic susceptibility.
On January 22-23, 1997, a workshop was held in Washington, D.C., under the auspices of the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, National Cancer Institute (Bethesda, MD), and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (Seattle, WA). The purpose of the workshop was to provide a forum for the discussion of the interplay between diet, genes, and cancer risk. This is just part of the burgeo...
متن کاملGenetic polymorphism of xenobiotic metabolising enzymes, diet and cancer susceptibility.
There is increasing evidence identifying the crucial role of numerous dietary components in modifying the process of carcinogenesis. The varied effects exerted by nutrient and non-nutrient dietary compounds on human health and cancer risk are one of the new challenges for nutritional sciences. In the present paper, an attempt is made to review the most recent epidemiological data on interaction...
متن کاملDiet and colorectal cancer: current evidence for etiology and prevention.
The etiology of colorectal cancer (CRC) involves the interaction of cell molecular changes and environmental factors, with a great emphasis on diet components. But the paths connecting lifestyle characteristicas and the colorectal carcinogenesis remain unclear. Several risk factors are commonly found in western diets, such as high concentrations of fat and animal protein, as well as low amounts...
متن کاملGenetic polymorphism of N142D GSTO2 and susceptibility to breast cancer: a meta-analysis
To establish a comprehensive picture of the relationship between glutathione S-transferase omega 2 (GSTO2; MIM: 612314) gene N142D variant (rs. 156697) and breast cancer risk, the present meta-analysis was carried out. Studies published up to July 2012 with information about GSTO2 polymorphism and breast cancer risk were identified using several electronic databases. We identified 4 eligible st...
