The A148T variant of CDKN2A gene in bladder cancer

چکیده
Results We found common polymorphic variants reported in the literature at codon 148 in exon 2 (Arg148Thr) and at nucleotides 500 and 540 in the 3’untranslated region which were not considered to be functional variants. We compared the obtained frequencies for the particular CDKN2A variants with the control group for the Polish population examined by Debniak and colleagues (Cancer Research 2005) and we found a significant difference in A148T polymorphism occurrence in the group of the bladder cancer patients (G test, table 2 ×2: NBLADDER CANCER =80, NCONTROL=1210, G=10.214, p<0.01). The Nt 500c>g, Nt540c>t polymorphisms recorded in the group of the bladder cancer patients in our study is not different from those recorded in the control group. Conclusion The A148T variant of CDKN2A gene seems to be associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer development.

Significance of CDKN2A gene A148T variant in patients with bladder cancer
OBJECTIVES The A148T polymorphism of CDKN2A gene is observed in various neoplasms with the incidence rate of 3-35%, however, rather little is known either about the frequency of its occurrence or of its significance in urinary bladder carcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS DNA was isolated from blood of 156 patients with urinary bladder carcinoma (130 men). In histopathology, 84 cases were classifi...
متن کاملCDKN2A common variants and their association with melanoma risk: a population-based study.
The population frequencies of the CDKN2A variants remain undetermined. In Poland there are three common variants of CDKN2A: an alanine to threonine substitution (A148T), Nt500c>g and Nt540c>t, which have been detected in other populations. To establish if they are associated with an increased malignant melanoma (MM) risk we did an association study based on genotyping 471 patients with MM and 1...
متن کاملEffect of tumor suppressor gene cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A wild-type and A148T mutant on the cell cycle of human ovarian cancer cells
Single-base substitution may affect the function of genes. This study identified a single-base substitution of G for A in codon 148 of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A/p16) by sequencing human ovarian cancer cell line UACC-1598. As a tumor suppressor gene, the expression of CDKN2A/p16 should be strictly controlled. In order to control CDKN2A/p16 gene expression, an inducible pTUNE v...
متن کاملA common variant of CDKN2A (p16) predisposes to breast cancer.
BACKGROUND A common missense variant of the CDKN2A gene (A148T) predisposes to malignant melanoma in Poland. An association between malignant melanoma and breast cancer has been reported in several families with CDKN2A mutations, OBJECTIVE To determine whether this variant also predisposes to breast cancer. METHODS Genotyping was undertaken in 4209 cases of breast cancer, unselected for fam...

Background: The molecular studies indicate some of the genes in the promoter region itself, will undergo methylation. Methylation of CpG islands in the promoter region of that cause silence or reduced expression of genes involved in cell growth pathways, which are colorectal cancer causing agents. Detection of methylation status can be used as a marker for cancer diagnosis and prediction of dis...
