UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B17 genotype and the risk of lung cancer among Austrian Caucasians
چکیده انگلیسی

Background: The enzyme uridine diphospho glucuronosyltansferase 2B17 (UGT2B17) glucuronidates several endogenous and exogenous compounds, including carcinogens from tobacco smoke like 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanl (NNAL). UGT2B17 shows a remarkable copy number variation (CNV) and an association between deletion genotype and increased risk of lung adenocarcinoma in women has been previously reported. Methods: We investigated the UGT2B17 CNV by PCR in 453 Austrian lung cancer patients and in 449 healthy donors and analyzed the impact on lung cancer susceptibility and outcome. Results: Copy numbers of UGT2B17 were 44.4% (+/+), 42.2% (+/−) and 13.5% (−/−) in lung cancer patients and 43.0% (+/+), 46.3% (+/−) and 10.7% (−/−) among healthy donors. The null genotype was not significantly more frequent among women with adenocarcinoma compared to healthy women (p = 0.59). There was no association with overall survival (p = 0.622) and no significant sex-associated (p = 0.423) or histology-related impact on development of lung cancer. Conclusion: UGT2B17 deletion genotype was not associated with a significant risk for lung cancer development or outcome in our Central European patient cohort. Our study indicates that UGT2B17 is not a crucial factor in lung carcinogenesis among Caucasians and shows the importance of investigating such markers in large cohorts from different populations.
