ABCB1 C3435T polymorphism is associated with leukemia susceptibility: evidence from a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE:Many studies have been conducted on the association between the adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette, subfamily B, member 1 (ABCB1) gene C3435T polymorphism and leukemia risk, however, the previously published findings remain controversial. Thus, a meta-analysis was carried out to accurately evaluate the effect of this polymorphism on leukemia susceptibility. METHODS:A computerized literature search was conducted of PubMed, Elsevier database, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure database, and Wanfang Database, to find published case-control studies exploring the relationship between ABCB1 C3435T polymorphism and leukemia risk. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were applied to assess the strength of association. RESULTS:A total of 17 studies of 2,431 cases and 3,028 controls were included in this meta-analysis. The results of overall comparisons suggest that there is a significant association between ABCB1 C3435T polymorphism and leukemia risk under two genetic models (TT vs CC: OR=1.39, 95% CI=1.04-1.84, P=0.02; CT+TT vs CC: OR=1.20, 95% CI=1.06-1.36, P=0.004). In the subgroup analyses by ethnicity, age, and leukemia subtype, a significant association was found in Caucasian (CT vs CC: OR=1.22, 95% CI=1.03-1.45, P=0.02; TT vs CC: OR=1.34, 95% CI=1.10-1.64, P=0.004; CT+TT vs CC: OR=1.27, 95% CI=1.08-1.49, P=0.004), adult leukemia (CT vs CC: OR=1.46, 95% CI=1.17-1.83, P=0.001; CT+TT vs CC: OR=1.43, 95% CI=1.01-2.03, P=0.04), and lymphocytic leukemia (TT vs CC: OR=1.73, 95% CI=1.19-2.51, P=0.004; TT vs CC+CT: OR=1.62, 95% CI=1.10-2.38, P=0.01; CT+TT vs CC: OR=1.28, 95% CI=1.10-1.48, P=0.001). CONCLUSION:The meta-analysis suggests that ABCB1 C3435T polymorphism is associated with increased risk of leukemia.

Project description:BackgroundBreast cancer is the most common cause of cancer death among women. Several studies have investigated the relationship between the C3435T polymorphism of ABCB1 gene and risk of breast cancer; but the results are conflicting. In the present study, we sought to assess the relationship between the C3435T polymorphism in ABCB1 gene and the risk of breast cancer in a sample of the Moroccan population.MethodsA case control study was performed on 60 breast cancer patients and 68 healthy women. The ABCB1 C3435T polymorphism was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay. Furthermore, a meta-analysis including 16 studies with 6094 cases of breast cancer and 8646 controls was performed.ResultsGenotype frequencies were 50 % for CC, 33.3 % for CT and 16.7 % for TT in patients and 41.2 % for CC, 48.5 % for CT and 10.3 % for TT respectively in the control group. This difference was not statistically significant. The same trend as observed in the allele distribution between patients and controls (P = 0.84). Findings from the meta-analysis showed that the ABCB1 C3435T polymorphism was not associated with an increased risk of breast cancer in the dominant model (OR = 0.907; 95 % CI = 0.767-1.073; P = 0.25) as well as in the recessive model (OR = 1.181; 95 % CI = 0.973-1.434; P = 0.093) and in the allele contrast model (OR = 1.098; 95 % CI = 0.972-1.240; P = 0.133). However, the stratification of studies on ethnic basis showed that the TT genotype was associated with the risk of breast cancer in Asians (OR = 1.405; 95 % CI = 1.145-1.725; P = 0.001), Caucasians (OR = 1.093; 95 % CI = 1.001-1.194; P = 0.048) and North African (OR = 2.028; 95 % CI = 1.220-3.371; P = 0.006).ConclusionsWe have noted that the implication of C3435T variant on the risk of breast cancer was ethnicity-dependent. However, there is no evidence that ABCB1 C3435T polymorphism could play a role in susceptibility to breast cancer in Morocco. Further studies with a larger sample size, extended to other polymorphisms are needed to understand the influence of ABCB1 genetic variants on the risk of breast cancer.
