A specific haplotype of single nucleotide polymorphisms on chromosome 19q13.2-3 encompassing the gene RAI is indicative of post-menopausal breast cancer before age 55

Abstract: The new genetic information, in particular the greatly increased density of markers in the chromosomal maps, may permit analysis of the importance of genes in the development of disease exclusively from molecular epidemiological studies. Motivated by our previous results on the same region in relation to basal cell carcinoma we have investigated the occurrence of post-menopausal breast cancer in relation to a number of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the chromosomal region 19q13.2-3. A case-control study in… Show more

“…This exceptional type of gene overlap was conserved in mouse and even in the yeast ERCC1 homolog, RAD10, suggesting an important biologic function of this region (19q13.2-q13.3). Besides, haplotypes in this region have been found associated with increased cancer risk [61][62][63][64][65]. Although we have found an association between MPM and a XRCC1 haplotype and a cumulative of XRCC1 and ERCC1 variants, we have not observed an association with ERCC1 haplotypes.…”

“…12 The variant A-allele has been associated with increased risks of basal cell carcinoma, breast cancer and lung cancer. [13][14][15] PPP1R13L (protein phosphate 1, regulatory (inhibitory) subunit 13 like, also named RAI or iASPP) encodes an inhibitor of the RelA subunit of NF-κB. 16 It is, therefore, possible that polymorphisms affecting the activity of PPP1R13L could influence the activity of NK-κB.…”

“…Further mapping of the region revealed a strong, significant correlation between one SNP in the Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 5 Precursor (ICAM5) and disease progression and prognosis . Specific SNPs in p53, estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor were found to be associated with a decreased risk of breast cancer, whereas SNPs in HRAS, GSTM1 and CYP19, as well as genes involved in DNA repair XRCC1, XRCC3, ERCC4/XPF, BRCA2 and RAI correlated with an increased risk of breast cancer (de Jong et al, 2005;Dumitrescu and Cotarla, 2005;Nexo et al, 2003).…”
