The impact of CYP19A1 variants and haplotypes on breast cancer risk, clinicopathological features and prognosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Different genetic variants in hormone-regulating pathways have been identified to influence the risk of breast cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the association of CYP19A1 rs10046 and rs700519 polymorphisms with the risk, clinicopathological factors and prognosis of breast cancer.

Methods

In a case-control study, rs10046 and rs700519 polymorphisms were genotyped using ARMS-PCR and high-resolution melting (HRM), respectively, in a total of 702 females. Statistical analysis and evaluation of haplotypes and linkage disequilibrium were performed using SPSS v16, PHASE and 2LD.

Results

Although no association of rs700519 with breast cancer was observed, rs10046 in different genetic models as well as C-C/C-T and C-C/C-C diplotypes, revealed the association with the risk of breast cancer (p < 0.05). Moreover, the rs700519-C allele was shown to be associated with longer overall survival. In contrast, the T-T haplotype conferred s a shorter overall survival. rs700519-C allele was also significantly associated with menarche age.

Conclusion

Based on the identified independent association between CYP19A1 diplotypes and rs700519-C allele with the risk and prognosis of the disease, the gene region and its genetic variants may have a diagnostic and prognostic role in breast cancer development. Further confirmation using other variants in this locus can validate these findings.

Project description:BackgroundThe incidence of bilateral breast cancer (BBC) is low, accounting for 5% of patients with breast cancer. This study aimed to investigate the clinicopathological features and prognosis of synchronous bilateral breast cancer (SBBC) and metachronous bilateral breast cancer (MBBC) in the Chinese population.MethodsPatients with BBC, including SBBC and MBBC, were selected from 6,162 breast cancer patients who underwent surgery at the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) General Hospital between January 2007 and December 2019. Furthermore, patients with unilateral breast cancer (UBC) who underwent surgery at the same time were randomly selected at a ratio of 1:2 as the control group. Clinicopathological features and prognosis were compared between the groups.ResultsIn all, 123 (2.0%) patients with BBC were enrolled in this study, including 98 (1.6%) SBBC and 25 (0.4%) MBBC patients. A total of 280 patients with UBC were selected for the control group. Compared with patients with UBC, patients with SBBC were more likely to be older and have a family history of breast cancer, non-infiltrative carcinoma, lower pathological tumor-node-metastasis (pTNM) stage, and luminal A type breast cancer as their first tumor. Patients with MBBC were more likely to be postmenopausal and have hormone receptor [estrogen receptor (ER)/progesterone receptor (PR)] negativity, a higher pTNM stage, and a triple-negative first tumor. Patients with UBC with ER/PR (-) were more likely to develop contralateral breast cancer (CBC) than those with ER/PR (+). There was no significant difference in overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) between patients with SBBC and patients with UBC. Patients with MBBC had worse DFS than those with UBC, but OS was similar for both types of patients. Patients with MBBC <55 years at first diagnosis had significantly shorter DFS compared to those with SBBC and UBC. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards model revealed that age ≥55 years and ER/PR negativity of the first tumor were independent risk factors for OS. Independent risk factors for DFS included MBBC, age <55 years, family history of other malignant tumors, ER/PR (-), lymphovascular invasion, and N stage ≥2 of the first tumor.ConclusionsThe OS and DFS of patients with SBBC and UBC were similar. The MBBC patients, especially those <55 years old at first diagnosis, had shorter DFS than patients with UBC.
