چکیده

PURPOSE Several studies indicated that the expression level of MLL3 gene in gastric cancer tissue was associated with prognosis, and previous studies also suggested that genetic polymorphisms of MLL3 were related to the risk for gastric cancer. The present study aimed to investigate the association of a missense mutation (S3660L) in the MLL3 gene with gastric cancer risk in a Chinese population. METHODS In the present study, we identified a novel missense mutation in MLL3 gene (S3660L) by directly sequencing method in 48 gastric cancer patients. To further explore the relation between gastric cancer and this mutation, we selected 354 gastric cancer patients and 377 healthy control subjects and designed a case-control study. RESULTS We found that the AG genotype (14.9 vs 6.40%, odds ratio/OR=2.58, 95% CI: 1.33-4.54, p<0.001) and A allele (7.5 vs 3.2%, OR=2.46, 95% CI: 1.55~5.34, p<0.001) were common in the gastric cancer patients than in the control subjects. CONCLUSION We concluded that this novel missense (S3660L) mutation in MLL3 gene is likely to increase the gastric cancer risk.

Mll3 genetic variants affect risk of gastric cancer in the chinese han population.

It is reported that the expression level of MLL3 in gastric cancer tissue highly correlates with tumor progression. However, whether MLL3 genetic variants are associated with the risk of gastric cancer remains unclear. In this study, we conducted a genotyping analysis for MLL3 in 314 cases of gastric cancer and 322 controls from the Chinese Han population. 4 SNPs (rs6943984, rs4725443, rs380083...

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide. BRCA1 is a tumor suppressor gene that is involved in DNA-damage repair. One of the significant risk factors of breast cancer is the family history. BRCA1 gene consists of 24 exons that encode a protein with 1863 amino acids. Exon 11 is the largest exons and most of the disease-linked mutations have been found in it. I...

A Missense Mutation in the HMNT Gene Responsible for Autosomal Recessive Intellectual Disability in an Iranian Family with Consanguineous Marriage

Background and Aims: One of the neurotransmitters in the brain is Histamine which acts as several biological mechanism regulators like inflammation, gastric acid secretion, and neuromodulation. Inactivation of Histamine occurs by histamine N-methyltransferase (HNMT) enzyme. The HNMT transfers a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to Histamine and is the main process for the termination of...

Association of rs9122 Polymorphism in the MCC Gene with Increasing the Risk of Gastric Cancer

Abstract Background and Aim: Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignancies in the world. Genetic background is known to be one of the risk factors for gastric cancer. One of the genes that have been shown to be involved in various cancers, including gastric cancer, is the MCC gene. There are many SNPs in the MCC gene in the encoding and regulatory regions, one of which is rs9122, which ...
