Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 gene (FGFR2) rs2981582T/C polymorphism and susceptibility to breast cancer in Saudi women.

ABSTRACT: Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 is a protein encoded by FGFR2 gene and plays an important role in cellular growth. This study was conducted to investigate a potential association of FGFR2 rs2981582 with breast cancer. DNA was obtained from 137 Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumors and 98 normal breast tissue samples. Genotypes were carried out with PCR-RFLP. The odds ratio and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to evaluate the power of the associations. A significant association between FGFR2 rs2981582 C allele and susceptibility to breast cancer was found (p-value < 0.0001, Odds Ratio = 2.3, %95 CI (1.5-3.0). No significant differences in FGFR2 rs2981582 genotypes and alleles distribution among breast patients with different hormonal receptor status (p > 0.05) were detected. However, a significant difference was found in genotypes and alleles distribution in ER+, PR- and HER2 between breast cancer cases and controls. This study showed an association of FGFR2 rs2981582T/C with breast cancer in Saudi women, further large study is required to validate the results.

Project description:Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have identified Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) as a candidate gene for breast cancer with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in intron 2 region as the susceptibility loci strongly associated with the risk. However, replicate studies have often failed to extrapolate the association to diverse ethnic regions. This hints towards the existing heterogeneity among different populations, arising due to differential linkage disequilibrium (LD) structures and frequencies of SNPs within the associated regions of the genome. It is therefore important to revisit the previously linked candidates in varied population groups to unravel the extent of heterogeneity. In an attempt to investigate the role of FGFR2 polymorphisms in susceptibility to the risk of breast cancer among North Indian women, we genotyped rs2981582, rs1219648, rs2981578 and rs7895676 polymorphisms in 368 breast cancer patients and 484 healthy controls by Polymerase chain reaction-Restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay. We observed a statistically significant association with breast cancer risk for all the four genetic variants (P<0.05). In per-allele model for rs2981582, rs1219648, rs7895676 and in dominant model for rs2981578, association remained significant after bonferroni correction (P<0.0125). On performing stratified analysis, significant correlations with various clinicopathological as well as environmental and lifestyle characteristics were observed. It was evident that rs1219648 and rs2981578 interacted with exogenous hormone use and advanced clinical stage III (after Bonferroni correction, P<0.000694), respectively. Furthermore, combined analysis on these four loci revealed that compared to women with 0-1 risk loci, those with 2-4 risk loci had increased risk (OR = 1.645, 95%CI = 1.152-2.347, P = 0.006). In haplotype analysis, for rs2981578, rs2981582 and rs1219648, risk haplotype (GTG) was associated with a significantly increased risk compared to the common (ACA) haplotype (OR = 1.365, 95% CI = 1.086-1.717, P = 0.008). Our results suggest that intron 2 SNPs of FGFR2 may contribute to genetic susceptibility of breast cancer in North India population.
