Gene-environment interaction in tobacco-related cancers.
This review summarizes the carcinogenic effects of tobacco smoke and the basis for interaction between tobacco smoke and genetic factors. Examples of published papers on gene-tobacco interaction and cancer risk are presented. The assessment of gene-environment interaction in tobacco-related cancers has been more complex than originally expected for several reasons, including the multiplicity of...
متن کاملGeographic trends of tobacco-related cancers in Cyprus
BACKGROUND Causal relationships have been previously established between smoking and various cancers. In Cyprus, 39 % of men and 14 % of women reported daily smoking in 2008. The objective of this study was to compare the incidence of tobacco-related cancers to all other cancers by district and rural-urban classification to understand the impact of tobacco in Cyprus. METHODS Data on lung, uri...
متن کاملGene–Environment Interaction in Yeast Gene Expression
The effects of genetic variants on phenotypic traits often depend on environmental and physiological conditions, but such gene-environment interactions are poorly understood. Recently developed approaches that treat transcript abundances of thousands of genes as quantitative traits offer the opportunity to broadly characterize the architecture of gene-environment interactions. We examined the g...
متن کاملA Gene-Environment Interaction
Background—Particulate air pollution has been associated with cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Transition metals such as iron bound to the particles may be responsible for those associations. The protein product of the hemochromatosis (HFE) gene modulates uptake of iron and divalent cations from pulmonary sources and reduces their toxicity. Two HFE polymorphisms (C282Y and H63D) associat...
متن کاملAssociation between a 15q25 gene variant, smoking quantity and tobacco-related cancers among 17 000 individuals.
BACKGROUND Genetic variants in 15q25 have been identified as potential risk markers for lung cancer (LC), but controversy exists as to whether this is a direct association, or whether the 15q variant is simply a proxy for increased exposure to tobacco carcinogens. METHODS We performed a detailed analysis of one 15q single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs16969968) with smoking behaviour and c...
