Breast cancer susceptibility polymorphisms and endometrial cancer risk: a Collaborative Endometrial Cancer Study.
Recent large--scale association studies, both of genome-wide and candidate gene design, have revealed several single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which are significantly associated with risk of developing breast cancer. As both breast and endometrial cancers are considered to be hormonally driven and share multiple risk factors, we investigated whether breast cancer risk alleles are also ass...
متن کاملHSD17B1 gene polymorphisms and risk of endometrial and breast cancer.
Estrogen exposure influences breast and endometrial cancer risk. The HSD17B1 gene produces an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of estrone to estradiol. We hypothesized that genetic variations in HSD17B1 gene may alter endogenous estrogen levels and, thus, influence endometrial and breast cancer risk. We validated and genotyped polymorphisms in the HSD17B1 gene and assessed whether these sin...
متن کاملCHEK2, MGMT, SULT1E1 and SULT1A1 polymorphisms and endometrial cancer risk.
Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in candidate genes of DNA repair and hormone pathways have been reported to be associated with endometrial cancer risk. We sought to confirm these associations in two endometrial cancer case-control sample sets and used additional data from an existing genome-wide association study to prioritize an additional SNP for further study. Five SNPs from t...
متن کاملDietary folate intake, MTHFR genetic polymorphisms, and the risk of endometrial cancer among Chinese women.
Folate plays an important role in carcinogenesis. The enzyme 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), encoded by the MTHFR gene, is involved in this process. We investigated both the independent and joint effects of dietary folate and other methyl-related nutrients, as well as three polymorphisms of MTHFR (677C>T, 1298A>C, and 1793G>A), on endometrial cancer risk in a population-based ...
متن کاملUGT1A1 genetic polymorphisms, endogenous estrogen exposure, soy food intake, and endometrial cancer risk.
Estrogen exposures play a critical role in the development of endometrial cancer. Genetic variation in the estrogen metabolism UGT1A1 gene may modify the effect of estrogenic exposures on endometrial cancer risk. We tested this hypothesis in a population-based case-control study of 1,047 endometrial cancer cases and 1,035 controls who completed an in-person interview and were genotyped for the ...
