Association between Cytochrome P450 2C19 Gene Polymorphisms and Hematological Malignancies in an Iranian Population
Authors
Abstract:
Background: Cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) is widely involved in the metabolism of some medications. On the other hand, recent studies have shown the contribution of the CYP2C19 polymorphisms to different malignancies. We aimed to investigate the association between CYP2C19 polymorphism and occurrence of hematological malignancies by comparing the phenotype distribution of this enzyme in patients and healthy subjects. Methods: 150 Iranian patients with hematological malignancies from different ethnicities were recruited. Mutant alleles of the CYP2C19*2 and *3 were examined using PCR-RFLP technique and CYP2C19*17 was genotyped using DNA sequencing analysis. Results: CYP2C19*17 was the most common allelic variation (24%, 95% CI: 19.17-28.83%) among patients with hematological malignancies, whereas the variant CYP2C19*3 was not detected among our patients. Furthermore, the CYP2C19*1*1 and CYP2C19*1*17 genotypes which respectively represented the “extensive metabolizer” (EM) and Ultra-rapid metabolizer (URM) phenotypes, had the highest incidence. Conclusion: The results of this study suggested that there may be no association between CYP2C19 polymorphisms and occurrence of hematological malignancies. However, larger well-designed studies are necessary to confirm these results in Iranian populations.

The Association between TNF-alpha Gene Polymorphisms and Endometriosis in An Iranian Population
Objective Objective: TNF-α is an important cytokine in acute inflammatory response to infective factors. It seems that this response increases in patients with endometriosis due to presence of cytokines such as TNF-α which has been investigated in patients with endometriosis in different populations. This study aimed at examining four polymorphisms; TNF-α -238G/A, -308G/A, -857C/T and -863C/A a...

Background During spermatogenesis, the H2B family, member W (H2B.W) gene, encodes a testis specific histone that is co-localized with telomeric sequences and has the potential role to mediate the sperm-specific chromatin remodeling. Previously H2B.W genetic variants were reported to be involved in susceptibility to spermatogenesis impairment. In the present study, two single nucleotide polymorp...

We examined the distribution of major allelic variants of CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 in the Mongolian population of China and compared it with that of other populations. The polymorphisms of CYP2C9 (including the CYP2C9*1, CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 alleles) and CYP2C19 (including the CYP2C19*1, CYP2C19*2 and CYP2C19*3 alleles) were analyzed in 280 healthy unrelated Chinese Mongolian subjects, using a PCR-R...
full textP-212: Association between Polymorphisms of CTLA-4 Gene and Unexplained Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion in An Iranian Population
Background: Unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA) has been suggested being associated with the failure of fetal-maternal immunologic tolerance in which the regulatory T lymphocytes (Tregs) play a crucial role. Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is expressed transiently on activated T cells and constitutively on Tregs. CTLA-4 interacts with the B7 cell surface molec...
full textAssociation of TAP1 and TAP2 gene polymorphisms with hematological malignancies.
Transporter associated with antigen presenting (TAP) 1 and TAP2 genes are localized in the major histocompatability complex (MHC) class II region and form a heterodimer playing a key role in endogenous pathways for antigen presentation. Defects of these genes have been reported to be common in different types of cancer. Polymorphisms identified in these loci have also been investigated and repo...
full textAssociation between ELMO1 gene polymorphisms and diabetic nephropathy in an Iranian population
BACKGROUND Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the leading causes of death in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Several genome-wide association studies have introduced Engulfment and Cell Motility 1 (ELMO1) as a candidate gene which is associated with DN. This study assessed the association of ELMO1 gene polymorphisms with DN in order to investigate the effects of ELMO1 gene on s...
