Role of Genetic Polymorphisms in the Development and Prognosis of Sporadic and Familial Prostate Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Backgrounds

Our aim was to evaluate the role of 20 genetic polymorphisms in the development and prognosis of sporadic and familial PC. A case-control study of 185 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy from 1997 to 2011. These patients were divided into two groups based on their family history. Gleason grade, PSA value and pathological TNM 2002 stage were used as prognostic factors. Blood samples from 70 men without PC were used as controls. The SNPs were genotyped using a TaqMan® SNP Genotyping Assay Kit.

Results

Considering susceptibility, the polymorphic allele in the SNP rs2660753 on chromosome 3 was significantly more prevalent in controls (p = 0.01). For familial clustering, the polymorphic homozygote genotype of the SNP rs7931342 was five times more frequent in patients with familial PC compared to sporadic PC (p = 0.01). Regarding the SNP 1447295, the polymorphic homozygote genotype was more prevalent in patients with organ-confined PC (p = 0.05), and most importantly, the polymorphic allele occurred more frequently in patients without biochemical recurrence (p = 0.01). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a median biochemical recurrence free survival of 124.2 compared to 85.6 months for patients with the wild-type allele (p = 0.007).

Conclusion

Our findings provide the evidence for the association of 20 recently highlighted SNPs and their susceptibility, familial clustering, staging, Gleason score and biochemical recurrence of PC. We believe that the association between these SNPs and PC may contribute to the development of alternative tools that can facilitate the early detection and prognosis of this disease.

Project description:The RNASEL gene on chromosome 1q25 was recently identified as a candidate gene for hereditary prostate cancer (PC). To confirm these findings, we screened 326 patients from 163 families with familial PC for potential germline mutations, by use of conformation-sensitive gel electrophoresis, followed by direct sequence analysis. A total of six variants were identified, including one intronic and five exonic changes (three missense and two silent alterations). There were no unequivocal pathogenic changes. To further test for potential associations between genes and increased risk for disease, the three missense polymorphisms (Ile97Leu, Arg462Gln, and Glu541Asp) were genotyped in 438 patients with familial PC and in 510 population-based control subjects. Association testing revealed no significant differences between patients and control subjects for either the Leu97 variant (chi(2) trend test = 1.42; P=.23) or the Asp541 variant (chi2=1.52; P=.22). However, significant differences were detected for the Arg462Gln genotypes (chi2=5.20; P=.02; odds ratio [OR] = 0.54; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.32-0.91) when the genotype Gln/Gln was compared with Arg/Arg. In subset analyses, associations were also observed in the younger group (age at diagnosis </=64 years) (P=.0008; OR=0.29; 95% CI = 0.13-0.66), in node-negative patients (P=.01; OR=0.48; 95% CI 0.27-0.84), patients with stage T(1)/T(2) disease (P=.008; OR=0.39; 95% CI 0.2-0.75), and patients with low-grade disease (P=.01; OR=0.40; 95% CI 0.20-0.78). To evaluate whether this variant was also associated with sporadic PC, we genotyped an additional 499 patients with sporadic PC. Differences in frequency were not detected between patients with sporadic disease and control subjects. However, the same association was observed between patients with familial disease and patients with sporadic disease for the entire group (chi2=4.82; P=.03), as well as in the subset analyses. These results suggest that polymorphic changes within the RNASEL gene may be associated with increased risk of familial but not sporadic PC.

Project description:To investigate the relationship between HPC2/ELAC2 and prostate cancer risk, we performed the following analyses: (1) a linkage study of six markers in and around the HPC2/ELAC2 gene at 17p11 in 159 pedigrees with hereditary prostate cancer (HPC); (2) a mutation-screening analysis of all coding exons of the gene in 93 probands with HPC; (3) family-based and population-based association study of common HPC2/ELAC2 missense variants in 159 probands with HPC, 249 patients with sporadic prostate cancer, and 222 unaffected male control subjects. No evidence for linkage was found in the total sample, nor in any subset of pedigrees based on characteristics that included age at onset, number of affected members, male-to-male disease transmission, or race. Furthermore, only the two previously reported missense changes (Ser217Leu and Ala541Thr) were identified by mutational analysis of all HPC2/ELAC exons in 93 probands with HPC. In association analyses, family-based tests did not reveal excess transmission of the Leu217 and/or Thr541 alleles to affected offspring, and population-based tests failed to reveal any statistically significant difference in the allele frequencies of the two polymorphisms between patients with prostate cancer and control subjects. The results of this study lead us to reject the three alternative hypotheses of (1) a highly penetrant, major prostate cancer-susceptibility gene at 17p11, (2) the allelic variants Leu217 or Thr541 of HPC2/ELAC2 as high-penetrance mutations, and (3) the variants Leu217 or Thr541 as low-penetrance, risk-modifying alleles. However, we did observe a trend of higher Leu217 homozygous carrier rates in patients than in control subjects. Considering the impact of genetic heterogeneity, phenocopies, and incomplete penetrance on the linkage and association studies of prostate cancer and on the power to detect linkage and association in our study sample, our results cannot rule out the possibility of a highly penetrant prostate cancer gene at this locus that only segregates in a small number of pedigrees. Nor can we rule out a prostate cancer-modifier gene that confers a lower-than-reported risk. Additional larger studies are needed to more fully evaluate the role of this gene in prostate cancer risk.
