Cyclin E Overexpression in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Characterizes an Etiologic Subgroup

Abstract: Background: The objective of this study was to determine whether cyclin E overexpression defines an etiologically distinct subgroup of ovarian cancer. Methods: We analyzed data from 538 epithelial ovarian cancer cases and 629 controls enrolled in a populationbased case-control study. Cyclin E protein overexpression was assessed using immunohistochemistry. Case-control and case-case comparisons were done to evaluate the relationship between cyclin E overexpression and epidemiologic risk factors. Logistic regres… Show more

“…Among those sent study information, the response rate was 64 percent. Although the control response rate is somewhat low, this has not affected associations with established epidemiological risk factors [2], [21]. Additionally, it is unlikely that participation would have been influenced by genotype.…”

“…This report was motivated by results from three independent discovery studies focusing on TP53 polymorphisms and risk of ovarian cancer: the North Carolina Ovarian Cancer Study (NCOCS),(21) the Mayo Clinic Case-Control Study (MAYO),(22) and the Polish Ovarian Cancer Study (POCS). (23) The NCOCS and the MAYO utilized a tagSNP approach while the POCS used re-sequencing data to assess common genetic variation in TP53 and two flanking genes in linkage disequilibrium (LD)(24) in invasive ovarian cancer cases and population controls.…”

“…DNA was obtained from over 98% of participants. Further details of the study have been described elsewhere (15). All participants signed informed consent forms and approval for the study was obtained from the Duke University Medical Center Institutional Review Board, participating hospitals, and the human subjects committee at the NC Central Cancer Registry.…”
