Analysis of autophagy gene polymorphisms in Spanish patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth cancer on incidence worldwide. Tobacco and alcohol consumption are the most classical risk factors associated with its development. Autophagy process has a dual effect both in tumourigenesis and tumour suppressing activity. To investigate the importance of this pathway in HNSCC susceptibility, a risk factor matched case-control association study was performed with four candidate polymorphisms in autophagy genes (ATG2B, ATG5, ATG10, ATG16L1). We found a… Show more

“…An association of ATG16L1 polymorphisms with cancer has been observed in thyroid carcinoma, gastric cancer and oral squamous cell carcinoma and affects the outcome in colorectal cancer and lung cancer . Notably, the loss of function mutation p.T300A was protective in some but deleterious in other studies underlining that intact autophagy facilitates and suppresses tumorigenesis depending on the context.…”

“…No obstante, se ha descrito este polimorfismo como modulador de la susceptibilidad de otras enfermedades. Análisis realizados en pacientes con cáncer de cabeza y cuello mostró que el genotipo GG se relaciona con un aumento de riesgo a padecer la enfermedad (142). Otras publicaciones han asociado diferentes mutaciones en este gen con la predisposición a padecer cáncer colorrectal (143).…”

“…En nuestro estudio no hemos encontrado diferencias significativas entre los pacientes con SL, PAF, CCR esporádico y el grupo control. Este resultado ha sido congruente con aquellos encontrados en la tuberculosis y en cáncer de cabeza y cuello (142). No obstante, en el estudio de lupus eritematoso, cáncer de tiroides no medular y melanoma se relaciona el alelo G con un aumento de riesgo a padecer la enfermedad.…”
