ABSTRACT
Abstract: Objective: To evaluate if variants in the genes CYP1A1 (T3801C and A4889G), CYP1B1 (G119T), GSTM1 (indel) and GSTT1 (indel) are associated with breast cancer (BC) among Mexican women. Materials and methods: 952 incident cases with histologically confirmed BC were matched by age (± 5 years) and zone of residence with 998 healthy population controls. Genetic variants in genes CYP1A1, CYP1B1, GSTM1 and GSTT1were genotyped by allelic discrimination and multiplex PCR. In a subsample of women, 105 markers for ancestry were determined. Results: An increased BC risk, independent of other BC risk factors, was observed among carriers of CYP1B1 G119T genotype (T/T vs. G/G: OR=1.9; 95%CI 1.4-2.5). Conclusion: Our results support the existence of genetic susceptibility for BC conferred by CYP1B1 G119T variant among Mexican women.
Resumen: Objetivo: Evaluar si las variantes en los genes CYP1A1 (T3801C y A4889G), CYP1B1 (G119T), GSTM1 (indel) yGSTT1 (indel), se asocian con el cáncer de mama (CM) en mujeres mexicanas. Material y métodos: Se parearon por edad (± 5 años) y zona de residencia 952 casos incidentes de CM histológicamente confirmado con 998 controles sanos poblacionales. Se genotipificaron variantes en los genes CYP1A1, CYP1B1, GSTM1 y GSTT1 por discriminación alélica y PCR multiplex. En una submuestra de mujeres, se determinaron 105 marcadores de ancestría. Resultados: Se observó un aumento del riesgo de CM, independiente de otros factores de riesgo, entre las portadoras del genotipo CYP1B1 G119T (T/T vs. G/G: RM=1.9; 95%CI 1.4-2.5). Conclusiones: Nuestros resultados soportan la existencia de susceptibilidad genética para CM conferida por la variante CYP1B1 G119T en mujeres mexicanas.
