Comprehensive Analysis of ABCG2 Genetic Variation in the Polish Population and Its Inter-Population Comparison.

ABSTRACT: ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member 2 (ABCG2), also known as breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), is one of the key efflux ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters of xenobiotics, their metabolites and endogenous compounds such as urate. Some of its genetic variants have been found to influence protein functioning, resulting in serious clinical implications concerning chemotherapy response, as well as gout or blood group phenotype Jr(a-). Previous reports have suggested that the frequencies of certain crucial polymorphisms, such as c.34G>A (p.Val12Met) and c.421C>A (p.Gln141Lys) differ significantly between the Polish population and other Caucasian populations. Thus, to clarify this issue, the present study performs a complete analysis of the genetic variation of ABCG2 coding sequence in the Polish population. The genetic variation in 14 out of 15 coding exons of the ABCG2 gene, as well as their flanking intron sequences, were examined among 190 healthy representatives of the Polish population using scanning with High Resolution Melting (HRM). HRM scanning revealed 17 polymorphisms: eight in the exons (including five missense variants and one point-nonsense mutation) and nine in the intron sequences (eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and one deletion variant). These included variants correlating with the presence of gout and phenotype Jr(a-). Linkage disequilibrium, haplotype blocks and haplotype analyses were also performed. The frequencies of the most common polymorphisms in the Polish population did not differ significantly to those observed for other Caucasian populations, but demonstrated divergence from non-Caucasian populations. We hope that our findings may be helpful for other researchers and clinicians, evaluating the pharmacogenetic role of ABCG2.

Project description:Emerging technologies now make it possible to genotype hundreds of thousands of genetic variations in individuals, across the genome. The study of loci at finer scales will facilitate the understanding of genetic variation at genomic and geographic levels. We examined global and chromosomal variations across HapMap populations using 3.7 million single nucleotide polymorphisms to search for the most stratified genomic regions of human populations and linked these regions to ontological annotation and functional network analysis. To achieve this, we used five complementary statistical and genetic network procedures: principal component (PC), cluster, discriminant, fixation index (FST) and network/pathway analyses. At the global level, the first two PC scores were sufficient to account for major population structure; however, chromosomal level analysis detected subtle forms of population structure within continental populations, and as many as 31 PCs were required to classify individuals into homogeneous groups. Using recommended population ancestry differentiation measures, a total of 126 regions of the genome were catalogued. Gene ontology and networks analyses revealed that these regions included the genes encoding oculocutaneous albinism II (OCA2), hect domain and RLD 2 (HERC2), ectodysplasin A receptor (EDAR) and solute carrier family 45, member 2 (SLC45A2). These genes are associated with melanin production, which is involved in the development of skin and hair colour, skin cancer and eye pigmentation. We also identified the genes encoding interferon-γ (IFNG) and death-associated protein kinase 1 (DAPK1), which are associated with cell death, inflammatory and immunological diseases. An in-depth understanding of these genomic regions may help to explain variations in adaptation to different environments. Our approach offers a comprehensive strategy for analysing chromosome-based population structure and differentiation, and demonstrates the application of complementary statistical and functional network analysis in human genetic variation studies.

Project description:Study hypothesis: CRC risk is affected by diet and by genetic polymorphisms leading to inter-individual variation in the metabolism of environmental carcinogens. Our first hypothesis is that these effects may combine to place certain individuals at greatly enhanced risk according to their diet. We shall examine how dietary factors known to affect CRC risk (including meats, fat, fruit and vegetables, cooking methods, dietary supplements and drugs) and genetic polymorphisms implicated in CRC (Glutathione S-transferase: GSTM1, GSTM3, GSTT1; N-acetyl transferase: NAT1, NAT2; and Cytochrome P450: CYP1A1, CYP2D6) combine to affect the prevalence of colorectal polyps, both adenomatous (the precursor lesion of CRC) and metaplastic. Our second hypothesis is that diets associated with increased risk (high red meat, low vegetable and low fibre consumption) may affect DNA damage markers which may be elevated in people with colorectal adenomas. We shall therefore examine the effect of diet on adduct rates (cross sectional) and adduct rates in people with and without colorectal adenomas. We shall examine malondialdehyde adduct rates in relation to anti-oxidant status and carboxymethyl adduct rates and k-ras mutation frequency in relation to meat consumption; and examine the effect of DNA repair enzyme (ATase) activity on any relationship found. In summary the aim of this population based study is to link dietary factors thought to be important in the genesis of colorectal polyps and cancer with genetic polymorphisms and DNA damage markers in rectal mucosa and in blood. Primary outcome(s): We shall perform cross-sectional and case-control analyses of the effect of diet and genetic polymorphisms on the prevalence of adenomatous and metaplastic polyps. Genetic polymorphisms will be examined in isolation and paired combinations and in groups stratified according to diet. We shall examine the effect of diet on MDA adduct rates (concentrating on foods relating to anti-oxidant status) and CBM adduct rates and k-ras mutations (concentrating on meat consumption and cooking methods) by categorical variables; and MDA and CBM adducts and k-ras mutation frequency in people with adenomatous polyps and polyp free controls (case-control). We shall examine the affect of ATase activity on any relationship found and ATase activity in people with adenomatous polyps and polyp free controls (case control). DNA will be stored for future analysis of as yet unrecognised polymorphisms which may be recognised as having a role in CRC. Samples taken from EPIC participants for adduct, ATase and k-ras measurement whose polyps are found to be metaplastic will be stored for possible future analysis: we shall investigate people with adenomatous polyps in the first instance as these are the precursors of colorectal cancer.
