TGF-β1 polymorphisms -509 C>T and +915 G>C and risk of pancreatic cancer.
BACKGROUND: Ninety percent of pancreatic cancer patients have less than 5-year overall survival and approximately 50% of cases were diagnosed with metastasis in the time of admission. Previous evidences have demonstrated the strong association between TGF-β1 variations and cancer susceptibility so far.
METHODS: A total of 78 patients with pancreatic cancer and 94 healthy controls were enrolled in this case- control study between 2007 and 2012. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood samples according to phenol chloroform extraction. The genotypes of TGF-β1 rs rs1800469 and rs1800471 were determined using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method.
RESULTS: The mean age of cases and the control group were 64.50 ± 13.718 and 40.12 ± 16.001, respectively. For polymorphism -509 C>T, the frequency of TT genotype were 31 (33.0), CT, 47(50) and CC, 16 (17) in control and 19 (24.4), 45 (57.7) and 14 (17.9) in cases respectively. In position +915 G>C, the frequency of GG genotype was 84 (89.4) and GC, 10 (10.6) in control and 71 (91.0) and 7 (9) in cases, respectively. We did not observe any significant differences in the genotype and allele frequencies of the TGF-β1-509 C>T (rs1800469) and codon +915 G>C (rs1800471) between the two study groups (P>0.05).
CONCLUSION: we found that TGF-β1 gene polymorphisms rs1800469 and rs1800471 might not play a role in pancreatic cancer susceptibility in Iranian population.
