association of leptin receptor gene gln223arg polymorphism with susceptibility to colorectal cancer
Authors
abstract
aim : leptin is a 16 kda polypeptide hormone which secreted by adipose tissue and has an important role in energy balance, insulin pathway and inflammation, because of that it may play an important role in colorectal cancer (crc). leptin exerts its effect through the leptin receptor (lepr) a member of the class i cytokine receptor family. background : we have investigated whether glutamine to arginine substitution (gln223arg) in exon 6 of the leptin receptor gene, has implications for susceptibility to crc. patients and methods : polymerase chain reaction (pcr) and restriction enzyme digestion (rflp) was performed to evaluate the association between the gln223arg polymorphism of the lepr and crc risk in a case-control study in 346 subjects involving 173 cases with crc and 173 controls. results : there was no statistically evidence of significant difference in genotype and allele frequencies between the cases with crc and controls for the gln223arg polymorphism of lepr, before or after adjusting for confounders (age, bmi, sex, and smoking status). furthermore, no significant difference was observed between the crc cases and controls by bmi, sex and smoking status. conclusion : our findings suggest that the lepr gln223arg polymorphism is not associated with the risk of crc in iranian population.

چکیده: سرطان پستان دومین عامل مرگ مرتبط با سرطان در خانم ها است. از آنجا که سرطان پستان یک تومور وابسته به هورمون است، می تواند توسط وضعیت هورمون های استروئیدی شامل استروژن و پروژسترون تنظیم شود. استروژن نقش مهمی در توسعه و پیشرفت سرطان پستان ایفا می کند و تاثیر خود را روی بیان ژن های هدف از طریق گیرنده های استروژن اعمال می کند. اما گروه دیگری از گیرنده های هسته ای به نام گیرنده های مرتبط به ا...

Objective(s):Leptin receptor (LEPR) is a member of the class I cytokine receptor super-family that is known implicated in the initiation and progression of breast cancer. We have investigated the effect of Q223R polymorphism on the breast cancer susceptibly in a sample of Iranian subjects. Materials and Methods:We utilized a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) restriction fragment length polymorphi...
