RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To assess whether in Mexican population the frequencies of ATM polymorphisms IVS24-9delT, IVS38-8-T>C, and 5557G>A in breast cancer (BC) cases and healthy controls were different from those found in other countries. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Frequencies of polymorphisms conferring BC risk IVS24-9delT, IVS38-8T>C, and 5557G>A were analyzed by PCR-RFLP in 94 patients with familial and/or early onset BC, and 97 healthy controls randomly selected. Allele frequencies analysis was done using χ(2) and Hardy-Weinberg test. RESULTS: Frequencies of heterozygous were: for 5557G>A, 13% cases, 0%controls (p=0.0009); for IVS24-9delT, 21% cases, 8% controls (p=0.0122); for IVS38-8T>C, only one case. 5557G>A and IVS24-9delT were more frequent in cases than in controls. The allelic frequencies found in 5557G>A are similar to those described by González-Hormazábal in Chile. CONCLUSION: The similarity of results in this polymorphism between Chilean and Mexican populations may be due to both being crossbred with an Amerindian-Spanish component, while differences may be due to fact that Chilean population has a greater European component than Mexican's.

Objective. To assess whether in Mexican population the frequencies of ATM polymorphisms IVS24-9delT, IVS38-8-T>C, and 5557G>A in breast cancer (BC) cases and healthy controls were different from those found in other countries. Materials and methods. Frequencies of polymorphisms conferring BC risk IVS24-9delT, IVS38-8T>C, and 5557G>A were analyzed by PCR-RFLP in 94 patients with familial and/or early onset BC, and 97 healthy controls randomly selected. Allele frequencies analysis was done using χ² and Hardy-Weinberg test. Results. Frequencies of heterozygous were: for 5557G>A, 13% cases, 0%controls (p=0.0009); for IVS24-9delT, 21% cases, 8% controls (p=0.0122); for IVS38-8T>C, only one case. 5557G>A and IVS24-9delT were more frequent in cases than in controls. The allelic frequencies found in 5557G>A are similar to those described by González-Hormazábal in Chile. Conclusion. The similarity of results in this polymorphism between Chilean and Mexican populations may be due to both being crossbred with an Amerindian-Spanish component, while differences may be due to fact that Chilean population has a greater European component than Mexican's.
Objetivo. Evaluar si en la población mexicana las frecuencias de los polimorfismos IVS-9delT, IVS38-8T>C y 5557G>A en casos de cáncer de mama y en controles sanos son diferentes de las encontradas en otros países. Material y métodos. Los polimorfismos IVS24-9delT, IVS38-8T>C y 5557G>A fueron analizados mediante PCR-RFLPs en 94 pacientes con CM de tipo familiar o de inicio temprano y 97 testigos seleccionadas de forma aleatoria. El análisis de la frecuencia alélica se hizo mediante χ² y equilibrio de Hardy-Weinberg. Resultados. Las frecuencias de heterocigotos fueron 5557G>A, 13% de casos, 0% de testigos (p=0.0009); IVS24-9delT, 21% de casos, 8% de testigos (p=0.0l22); IVS38-8T>C, sólo un caso. 5557G>A y IVS24-9delT fueron más frecuentes en casos que en testigos. Las frecuencias alélicas encontradas en 5557G>A son similares a las descritas por González-Hormazábal en Chile. Conclusión. La similitud de resultados en este polimorfismo entre la población chilena y mexicana puede ser debida a que ambas son mestizas con un componente amerindio-español. Las diferencias encontradas podrían explicarse porque la población chilena tiene mayor componente europeo que la mexicana.
