Variations in sex hormone metabolism genes, postmenopausal hormone therapy and risk of endometrial cancer

Abstract: We investigated whether variants in sex steroid hormone metabolism genes modify the effect of hormone therapy (HT) on endometrial cancer risk in postmenopausal non-Hispanic white women. A nested-case control study was conducted within the California Teachers Study (CTS). We genotyped htSNPs in six genes involved in the hormone metabolism in 286 endometrial cancer cases and 488 controls. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated for each haplotype using unconditional logistic regression, a… Show more

“…Thus, in summary, 31 citations reporting on the incidence and prevalence of EC among women using MHT were included in this review . Among them, we found 15 cohort studies [8][9][10][11][12]14,16,17,21,[23][24][25]27,30,32], 10 case-control studies [7,[18][19][20]26,29,[33][34][35][36], 2 randomized controlled trials [6,28], 2 narrative reviews [15,31], 1 meta-analysis [22], and 1 systematic review [13], describing a total of 21,306 patients with EC.…”

“…Furthermore, the CYP17A1 polymorphism may partly contribute to the increase in natural testosterone/epitestosterone levels since the CYP17A1 mutant A2 allele was found to be associated with increased urinary excretion of upper testosterone glucuronic acid and its presumed precursor (Schulze et al, 2008). Rs743572 is the most studied polymorphism in CYP17A1 (Razavi et al, 2012). Except for rs743572, other SNPs of CYP17A1 are rarely reported in PCOS (see Results).…”

“…One of the most studied polymorphisms in CYP17A1 is rs743572 [10]. Other SNPs of CYP17A1 are rarely reported in PCOS in comparison with rs743572 This SNP causes a substitution in the 5′ untranslated region from T to C [12], resulting in the variant genotypes "CC" and "CT." This SNP may improve androgen synthesis [14] and is involved in the control process of gene expression [13,14].…”
