Association of FGFR3 and FGFR4 gene polymorphisms with breast cancer in Chinese women of Heilongjiang province.

ABSTRACT: The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor pathway is activated in many tumors. FGFR2 has been identified as a breast cancer susceptibility gene. Common variation in other FGF receptors might also affect breast cancer risk. We carried out a case-control study to investigate associations of variants in FGFR3 and FGFR4 with breast cancer in women from Heilongjiang Province.SNP rs2234909 and rs3135848 in FGFR3 and rs1966265 and rs351855 in FGFR4 were successfully genotyped in 747 breast cancer patients and 716 healthy controls using the SNaPshot method. The associations between SNPs and breast cancer were examined by logistic regression. The associations between SNPs and disease characteristics were examined by chi-square tests or one-way ANOVA as needed.The minor alleles of rs1966265 and rs351855 in FGFR4 were strongly associated with breast cancer in the population, with odds ratios of 1.335 (95%CI = 1.154-1.545) and 1.364 (95%CI = 1.177-1.580), respectively. However, no significant associations were detected between other SNPs and breast cancer. Analyses of the disease characteristics showed that SNP rs351855 was associated with lymph-node-positive breast cancer with a dose-dependent effect of the minor allele (P = 0.008).SNPs rs1966265 and rs351855 in FGFR4 were associated with breast cancer in a northern Chinese population.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is a polygenetic disorder with a complex inheritance pattern. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), the most common genetic variations, influence not only phenotypic traits, but also interindividual predisposition to disease, treatment outcomes with drugs and disease prognosis. The co-stimulatory molecule CD40 plays a prominent role in immune regulation and homeostasis. Accumulating evidence suggests that CD40 contributes to the pathogenesis of cancer. Here, we set out to test the association between polymorphisms in the CD40 gene and breast carcinogenesis and tumor pathology. METHODOLOGY AND PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Four SNPs (rs1800686, rs1883832, rs4810485 and rs3765459) were genotyped by the polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method in a case-control study including 591 breast cancer patients and 600 age-matched healthy controls. Differences in the genotypic distribution between breast cancer patients and healthy controls were analyzed by the Chi-square test for trends. Our preliminary data showed a statistically significant association between the four CD40 gene SNPs and sporadic breast cancer risk (additive P?=?0.0223, 0.0012, 0.0013 and 0.0279, respectively). A strong association was also found using the dominant, recessive and homozygote comparison genetic models. In the clinical features analysis, significant associations were observed between CD40 SNPs and lymph node metastasis, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (C-erbB2), estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and tumor protein 53 (P53) statuses. In addition, our haplotype analysis indicated that the haplotype C(rs1883832)G(rs4810485), which was located within the only linkage disequilibrium (LD) block identified, was a protective haplotype for breast cancer, whereas T(rs1883832)T(rs4810485) increased the risk in the studied population, even after correcting the P value for multiple testing (P?=?0.0337 and 0.0430, respectively). CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE: Our findings primarily show that CD40 gene polymorphisms contribute to sporadic breast cancer risk and have a significant association with clinicopathological features among Chinese Han women from the Heilongjiang Province.

Project description:BackgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between the phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) gene polymorphism and idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) in Heilongjiang Chinese.MethodsThirty-five patients with IMN confirmed by renal biopsy attending the Heilongjiang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between June 2021 and December of 2021 were selected as the IMN group, and a group of 25 healthy participants from the Physical Examination Center of Heilongjiang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were enrolled as healthy controls. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to identify and genotype 8 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci (rs16844715, rs2715918, rs2715928, rs35771982, rs3749119, rs3828323, rs4665143, and rs6757188) of PLA2R and to analyze the PLA2R gene polymorphisms that correlated with IMN. SPSS 26.0 statistical software was used for data analysis, and the chi-squared (χ2) goodness-of-fit test was used to determine whether each SNP genotype and allele in the PLA2R gene complied with the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The qualitative data were analyzed via χ2 or Fisher exact probability method. Logistic regression was used to analyze risk factors, and the odds ratios (ORs) values and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. α=0.05 was taken as the test level, and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsStatistically significant differences were found in the genotype and allele frequencies of rs35771982 and rs3749119 between the IMN and control groups (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the genotypes rs35771982 GG and rs3749119 CC were associated with IMN susceptibility. Statistically significant differences in uric acid level were found between the rs35771982 GG and CG + CC genotypes (P<0.05), while statistically significant differences in serum albumin were detected between rs3749119 CC and the CT + TT genotypes (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, and triglyceride levels affected the occurrence of IMN (P<0.05).ConclusionsThe PLA2R gene polymorphisms rs35771982 and rs3749119 in Heilongjiang Chinese may be related to IMN susceptibility and correlated with clinical indicators of IMN. Gender, age, and triglyceride levels may influence the occurrence of IMN.
