Association between estrogen receptor alpha and aryl hydrocarbon receptor gene polymorphisms in the prognosis of breast cancer in Egypt.
Egyptian Journal of Immunology 2024 April
Breast cancer is the most malignant tumor among women in the world. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) might better predict breast cancer prognosis. PvuII (T/C substitution), XbaI (A/G substitution), and aryl hydrocarbon (AhR) (G/A substitution) were evaluated as possible genetic prognostic factors for breast cancer. The aim of the current study was to assess the relation between PvuII (rs2234693), XbaI (rs9340799), and aryl hydrocarbon receptor gene polymorphisms AhR (rs2066853) in breast cancer prognosis. This was a case-control study that included 120 breast cancer patients classified into two groups. The first group included 60 patients with good prognostic factors, and the second group included 60 patients with poor prognostic factors. Blood samples were taken from all study participants to perform the genotyping assay. We found that positive genotypes of PvuII, XbaI, and AhR polymorphisms were strongly associated with better prognostic factors for breast cancer patients, while negative genotypes of PvuII and XbaI were more and significantly prevalent in poor prognostic breast cancer patients. We conclude that PvuII T/C, XbaI G/A, and AhR G/A alleles may be prognostic for breast cancer progression.
