ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the association between metabolic enzymes polymorphisms and the risk of colorectal cancer(CRC).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Methods of detection used were based on polymerase chain reaction(PCR) including PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), allele specific-PCR (AS-PCR) and multiple-PCR to identify the polymorphisms of CYP1A1 6235T/C, CYP1A2 734C/A, CYP2E1 -1259G/C, CYP2E1 -1019C/T, GSTM1 and T1 null type, NAT1 and NAT2 alleles among 140 cases and 343 cancer-free controls.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The allele frequencies of CYP1A1 6235C, CYP1A2 734A, CYP2E1 -1259C, CYP2E1 -1019T, GSTM1 and T1 null type, NAT1* 10 and NAT2 Mx (x = 1,2,3) alleles were 31.65%, 63.77%, 23.02%, 32.61%, 57.25%, 17.39%, 26.45% and 39.21% in the case group and 39.85%, 66.62%, 20.27%, 28.61%, 55.46%, 20.35%, 25.22% and 39.36% in control group, respectively. The frequencies were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Data on single genetic polymorphism and stratification analysis of multi-genetic polymorphisms indicated that CYP1A1 6235CC homozygote was associated with the significant reduction of CRC risk (OR = 0.79, 95% CI 0.63-0.99) and in individuals with CYP1A2 734A allele. CYP1A1 62345C allele had the same effect (OR = 0.53, 95% CI 0.34-0.83). However, individuals with GSTT1 null genotype, GSTM1 null genotype could significantly increase the risk (OR = 4.41, 95% CI 1.21-16.10).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>CYP1A1 6235C allele might play an important role in fighting against colorectal carcinogenesis. However, GSTM1 and T1 null genotype might serve as risk factors genetically. Larger scale population-based studies were needed to confirm the current findings.</p>
