Background: Colorectal Cancer is the 5 th common malignant tumor among Egyptians representing 5% of the total cancers according to National Cancer Registry 2013. Aim of Study:To evaluate association of serum level of Cyclin D1 and variants in MicroRNA196a-2 (miR196A2) rs11614913 and Deleted in colorectal cancer (DCC) rs714 genes with the risk of colorectal cancer and its progression.Patients and Methods: A case-control study was done on 100 colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and 60 healthy controls were enrolled and were genotyped for miR196A2 rs11614913 gene variation using the real time-Taq Man assay and DCC rs714 gene variation using Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Serum levels of Cyclin D1 were measured by Enzyme linked immunosorbant assay (ELSA).Results: Pathogenic variant G of DCC was associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer compared to A variant (p<0.001). Also, G variant (GG and GA genotypes) was associated with increased risk of distant metastasis in patients of CRC compared to DCC A variant ( p=0.014). There was a significant association between increased serum level of Cyclin D 1 and the risk of colorectal cancer ( p=0.001) with cut-off value >3.4ng/mL. Pathogenic variant C of miR196A2 was not significantly associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer ( p=0.766) but showed a significant increase in tumor progression (p=0.013). Conclusion:Pathogenic variant G of DCC and increased serum level of Cyclin D1 are predictive factors of sporadic colorectal cancer among Egyptian patients. C variant of miR196A2 can be used as prognostic rather than diagnostic markers of CRC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
