Polymorphism of genes of hemostasis system and methionin exchange in patients with gastrointestinal tumors.

Abstract

e16011 Background: The purpose of the study was to analyze the rates of polymorphic allelic variants of genes of the hemostasis system and methionin exchange in patients with gastrointestinal cancers (GICs). Methods: The study included 69 patients with histologically verified GICs (main group): gastric cancer (GC) – 17, colon cancer (CC) – 42, other tumors – 10 (pancreatic cancer – 6, liver cancer – 3, gallbladder cancer – 1) and 50 patients without cancer (control group). 12 polymorphic loci were determined in genomic DNA samples by Real-time PCR: F2 (G20210А, rs1799963), F5 (G1691A, rs6025), F7 (G10976A, rs6046), F13 (G226A, rs5985), FGB G(-455)A (rs1800790), ITGA2-α2 (C807T, rs1126643), ITGB3-b (Т1565С, rs5918), PAI-1 4G(-675)5G, rs1799889), MTHFR (С677Т, rs1801133 and A1298C, rs1801131), MTR (А2756G, rs1805087), MTRR (A66G, rs1801394). Results: The ratio of genotype frequencies maintained in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in all gene loci except FGB G(-455)A in GC patients (p = 0.02). The rate of an alternative allele in the F2 gene among patients with GICs was 1.4%, in the control group – 1.0%; F5 – 1.0% and 4.0%; F7 – 13.0% and 11.0%; F13 – 31.9% and 32.0%; FGB – 29.7% and 22.0%; ITGA2 – 37.7% and 38.0%; ITGB3 – 17.4% and 21.0%; PAI-1 – 55.1% and 56.0%, MTHFR (Т) – 26.6% and 31.3%; MTHFR (С) – 33.0% and 27.5%; MTR – 29.8% and 26.3%; MTRR – 51.1% and 57.5%, respectively (p > 0.05). AA homozygotes at the FGB G(-455)A locus were more frequent in the main group, compared to controls: 4.3% vs 4.0%; p = 0.02. No differences in the frequency of alternative alleles of the studied genes were found between patients with GC and CC. GG genotype at the FGB G(-455)A locus was found in GC patients in 29.4%, in controls – in 60.0% (OR = 0.28, 95% CI 0.08-0.91); GA genotype – in 70.6% and 36.0% (OR = 4.27, 95% CI 1.29-14.06), AA genotype – in 0% and 4.0% (p = 0.04, χ2 = 6.34), respectively. Conclusions: The univariate analysis demonstrated that carriage of the GA genotype at the FGB G(-455)A (rs1800790) locus could be found more often in patients with GC.
