“…One study tested the association between SNPs in different selenoprotein-related genes ( GPX1, GPX2, GPX3, GPX4, SELS, SEP15, SEPN1, SEPP1, SEPW1, TXNRD1 , and TXNRD2 ) and breast cancer risk in US Latinas, finding mostly negative results except when analyses were stratified by genetic ancestry and by tumor subtype [173]. Other studies were conducted in Mexico and Brazil and investigated multiple genes: CYP2W1, CYP4F11 , CYP8A1 , and CYP1B1 [174], which are important in the activation of carcinogenic compounds; ABCB1 , which encodes the MDR1 protein, [105,106] and is involved in the elimination of xenotoxic agents; GSTM1 and GSTP1 , members of the glutathione S -transferase ( GST ) gene family [91,108,109,113]; and eNOS , which can react with other free radicals and damage DNA [114]. Results for the CYP genes were mostly negative, except for CYP1B1 [107], while positive associations were reported for the GSTM1 deletion (tagged by rs366631), and ABCB1 c.3435C>T (rs1045642), GSTP1 c.313A>G (rs1695), and eNOS polymorphisms [91,105,106,108,109,113,114,174].…”
