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.

Association of leptin receptor gene Gln223Arg polymorphism with susceptibility to colorectal cancer

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 arg...

Association of leptin gene (rs 7799039) polymorphism and colorectal cancer

Introduction: Studies show polymorphism in leptin gene cause increase in level of leptin hormone and increased level of leptin hormon is associated with abosity, insulin resistance and increased risk of colorectal cancer. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of leptin gene polymorphism rs 7799039 in Tehran and to investigate the influence of this polymorphism in increased risk of c...

the study of aaag repeat polymorphism in promoter of errg gene and its association with the risk of breast cancer in isfahan region

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...

Association of Vitamin D Receptor Polymorphism (VDR rs 2238136) with Colorectal Cancer

Background & Aims: Many studies have demonstrated that Vitamin D has an important role in cell growth and proliferation and vitamin D receptor polymorphism has significant relationship with colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of VDR rs 2238136 polymorphism in Iranian population and to investigate the relationship between this single nucleotide polymorphism...

Effect of leptin receptor Q223R polymorphism on breast cancer risk

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...
