Polymorphisms in the ICAM gene locus are not associated with breast cancer Risk.

چکیده
In a recent case-control study which examined >25,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), the intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) locus was proposed as a susceptibility locus for breast and prostate cancer (1). The genes ICAM1, ICAM4 , and ICAM5 are all located within a 20 kb region of high linkage disequilibrium of chromosome 19p13.2. We examined the association of three previously implicated polymorphisms (rs5030382, K469E in ICAM1 ; rs281439, 542 bp upstream of ICAM5 ; rs1056538, and V301I in ICAM5) with breast cancer risk in a nested case control study within the Nurses’ Health Study.

The Association of the MTHFR Gene Polymorphisms with Breast Cancer Susceptibility
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide. It is also the second leading cause of cancer death among women after lung cancer. Considering the relationship among plasma folate levels, the level of uracil, and DNA damage in cell division, methyl tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a suitable candidate for studies on the susceptibility to cancer, including brea...

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common worldwide malignancies among women. Biological data suggest that damage induced by endogenous and exogenous factors affects the integrity of DNA and associated with susceptibility to breast cancer. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA repair genes can associated with differences in the repair efficiency of DNA damage and may affect br...

Background: IL-10 is an anti-inflammatory cytokine which is involved in tumorigenesis. Over production of IL-10 and elevated number of IL-10 generating mononuclear cells in breast tumor tissue has already been shown. Objective: To determine the association of IL-10 promoter polymorphisms with increased risk of breast cancer and its association with breast cancer prognostic factors. Methods: Per...

Introduction: Prostate cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the world and the second leading cause of cancer death among men. The ELAC2 gene (HPC2 locus) on chromosome 17p11 has been identified as hereditary tumor suppressor genes in prostate cancer. Some evidence showed that ELAC2 Ser217Leu and Ala541Thr polymorphisms were associated with prostate cancer risk. The aim of this study was to...

Introduction: Single nucleotide polymorphisms result in dysregulation of the proto-oncogene TCF3 gene, which is associated with the development, metastasis, and chemoresistance of different malignancies. Methods: GSE10810 microarray dataset and GEPIA2 online software were used to find differentially expressed genes and the TCF3 status in breast cancer (BC) and gastric cancer (GC), respectively....
