Genetic Variation of Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) and Thymidylate Synthase (TS) Genes Is Associated with Idiopathic Recurrent Implantation Failure.

ABSTRACT: The one-carbon metabolism pathway disorder was important role in successful pregnancy. The MTHFR and TS protein were crucial factor in one-carbon metabolism. To investigate the association between recurrent implantation failure (RIF) and enzymes in the one-carbon metabolism pathway. A total of 120 women diagnosed with RIF and 125 control subjects were genotyped for MTHFR 677C>T, 1298A>C, TSER 2R/3R and TS 1494del/ins by a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay. According to the gene-gene combination analysis, the MTHFR 677/MTHFR 1298 (TT/AA) and MTHFR 677/TS 1494 (TT/6bp6bp) genetic combinations were associated with relatively higher risks [adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 2.764; 95% CI, 1.065-7.174; P = 0.037 and AOR, 3.186; 95% CI, 1.241-8.178; P = 0.016] in RIF patients compared to the CC/AA (MTHFR 677/MTHFR 1298) and TT/6bp6bp (MTHFR 677/TS 1494) combinations, respectively. The results suggested that the combined MTHFR 677/MTHFR 1298 genotype might be associated with increased risk of RIF. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to elucidate the potential association of MTHFR, TS and TSER polymorphisms with RIF risk in Korean patients.

Project description:What is already known about this subject* Numerous clinical studies, including a few prospective ones, have reported conflicting results on the impact of gene polymorphisms related to fluorouracil (FU) and oxaliplatin pharmacodynamics.What this study adds* This prospective study is the first to report that clinical response to FOLFOX is significantly related to methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphisms (677C-->T and 1298A-->C), with a response rate of 37, 53, 63 and 80% in patients harbouring no, one, two or three favourable MTHFR alleles, respectively. * Only polymorphisms of genes related to oxaliplatin pharmacodynamics (GSTpi 105Ile-->Val and XPD 751Ly-->Gln) influenced progression-free survival. * These results corroborate the observation that response was related to the cumulative FU dose, whereas progression-free survival was related to the cumulative oxaliplatin dose.AimsTo test prospectively the predictive value of germinal gene polymorphisms related to fluorouracil (FU) and oxaliplatin (Oxa) pharmacodynamics on toxicity and responsiveness of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients receiving FOLFOX therapy.MethodsAdvanced CRC patients (n= 117) receiving FOLFOX 7 therapy were enrolled. Gene polymorphisms relevant for FU [thymidylate synthase (TYMS, 28 bp repeats including the G-->C mutation + 6 bp deletion in 3'UTR), methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR, 677C-->T, 1298A-->C), dihydropyrimidine deshydrogenase (IVS14+1G-->A) and Oxa: glutathione S-transferase (GST) pi (105Ile-->Val, 114Ala-->Val), excision repair cross-complementing group 1 (ERCC1) (118AAT-->AAC), ERCC2 (XPD, 751Lys-->Gln) and XRCC1 (399Arg-->Gln)] were determined (blood mononuclear cells).ResultsNone of the genotypes was predictive of toxicity. Response rate (54.7% complete response + partial response) was related to FU pharmacogenetics, with both 677C-->T (P= 0.042) and 1298A-->C (P= 0.004) MTHFR genotypes linked to clinical response. Importantly, the score of favourable MTHFR alleles (677T and 1298C) was positively linked to response, with response rates of 37.1, 53.3, 62.5 and 80.0% in patients bearing no, one, two or three favourable alleles, respectively (P= 0.040). Polymorphisms of genes related to Oxa pharmacodynamics showed an influence on progression-free survival, with a better outcome in patients bearing GSTpi 105 Val/Val genotype or XPD 751Lys-containing genotype (P= 0.054).ConclusionsThese results show that response to FOLFOX therapy in CRC patients may be driven by MTHFR germinal polymorphisms.
