Epidemiological studies revealed that the pattern of age onset of breast cancer in the Middle East region differ from those in Caucasians. Therefore, genomic data for ESR2 (ER-β) is of the value in the clinical setting for that ethnic group and the aim of the current investigation is investigated whether polymorphisms in the ER-β gene are associated with breast cancer risk among Iranian women. The coding sequence in Exon 7 at ESR2 gene was looking for any variation among the Iranian breast cancer women by SSCP-PCR method. In codon 392 of exon 7, showed a silent SNP (silent single nucleotide polymorphism). The frequency of allele G in codon 392 (CTC → CTG was found only in cases (5.7%). We also found that allele G in codon 392 (C1176G) had direct association with development of lymph node metastasis in breast cancer. The current results suggest that ESR2 SNP in exon 7, codon 392 is associated with various aspects of breast cancer in Iran. ESR2 gene structure determination, in presurgical evaluation, might be a useful marker in predicting familial breast cancer and metastasis in LN.
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.
