Glutathione S-Transferase P1 Polymorphism on Exon 6 and Risk of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Thai Male Patients

Despite improved screening and surveillance guidelines, significant race/ethnicity‐specific disparities in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) continue to exist and disproportionately affect minority and disadvantaged populations. This trend indicates that social determinants, genetic, and environmental factors are driving the epidemic at the population level. Race and geography had independent associations with risk of mortality among patients with HCC. The present review discusses the risk factors and issues related to disparities in HCC. The underlying etiologies for these disparities are complex and multifactorial. Some of the risk factors for developing HCC include hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV) viral infection, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, smoking and alcohol consumption. In addition, population genetics; socioeconomic and health care access; treatment and prevention differences; and genetic, behavioral, and biological influences can contribute to HCC. Acculturation of ethnic minorities, insurance status, and access to health care may further contribute to the observed disparities in HCC. By increasing awareness, better modalities for screening and surveillance, improving access to health care, and adapting targeted preventive and therapeutic interventions, disparities in HCC outcomes can be reduced or eliminated.

“…Kudhair [26] analyzed in Arab populations and revealed that carrying GSTP1 Ile105Val substitution is positively correlated with a higher risk for lung cancer in WP tobacco smokers. Conversely, Sophonnithiprasert [27] reported for the insigni cant difference between GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphism and oxaliplatin-induced toxicity. Our research showed GSTP1 c. 313A>G polymorphism was linked to acute toxicity in colorectal cancer patients undergoing neutropenia and ulceration.…”

Background: Fluoropyrimidines and platinum are still widely used for colorectal cancer (CRC) management. Several studies have reported that mutations of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPYD) and glutathione S-transferase pi-1 (GSTP1) polymorphisms are related to Chemotherapy-related adverse events. In the present study, we purposed to assess the impact of DPYD and GSTP1 variants on toxicity of chemotherapy risk among the Hakka population, minimize adverse events, and to maximize therapy outcome for individualized treatment.Methods: Genotyping was examined in 104 patients diagnosed with CRC cases and receiving fluoropyrimidine and platinum drugs based chemotherapy regimen by direct sequencing of DPYD and GSTP1 polymorphisms. Three DPYD variants including *2A, *5A, *9A, and GSTP1 c.313A>G were analyzed and clinical outcomes were assessed. Results: The data suggest that the incidence of DPYD*5A, DPYD*9A, and GSTP1 c.313A>G variants were 37.5%, 24%, and 31.7%, respectively. DPYD*2A variant was not found. A total of 38 patients (36.5%) suffered severe neutropenia and 23 patients (22.1%) suffered severe vomiting. DPYD*5A polymorphism was found significantly associated with grade 3/4 ulceration (p = 0.001). GSTP1 was determined to be an independent risk factor for severe neutropenia and ulceration (p = 0.010 and p = 0.034, respectively). Patients with GSTP1 c. 313A>G wild type contributed to a higher risk for grade severe toxicity compared with A/G + G/G genotype (p = 0.024). Nevertheless, no significant difference was found between patients with DPYD*9A T/T and T/C + C/C genotype for chemotherapeutic toxicity.Conclusions: The results demonstrated that DPYD*5A and GSTP1 polymorphisms were useful predictors of severe events. Screening of single nucleotide polymorphisms of DPYD and GSTP1 in colorectal cancer patients prior to chemotherapy may help to realize personalized therapy.

In the present study, we purposed to assess the impact of DPYD and GSTP1 variants on the toxicity of adjuvant chemotherapy risk among the Hakka population, minimize adverse events, and to maximize therapy outcome for individualized treatment.Methods: Genotyping was examined in 104 patients diagnosed with CRC cases and receiving fluoropyrimidine and platinum drugs based chemotherapy regimen by direct sequencing of DPYD and GSTP1 polymorphisms. Three DPYD variants including *2A, *5A, *9A, and GSTP1 c.313A>G were analyzed and clinical outcomes were assessed.Results: The data suggest that the incidence of DPYD*5A, DPYD*9A, and GSTP1 c.313A>G variants were 38.4%, 24%, and 32.7%, respectively. DPYD*2A variant was not found. A total of 23 patients (22.1%) suffered severe vomiting and 19 patients (18.3%) suffered severe anemia. DPYD*5A polymorphism was found significantly associated with grade 3/4 ulceration (p = 0.001). GSTP1 was determined to be an independent risk factor for severe vomiting and skin ulceration (p = 0.042 and p = 0.018, respectively). Patients with GSTP1 c. 313A>G mutant type contributed to a higher risk for grade severe toxicity compared with wild genotype (p = 0.027). Nevertheless, no significant difference was found between patients with DPYD*2A, *5A, *9A for chemotherapeutic toxicity.Conclusions: The results demonstrated that GSTP1 polymorphisms were useful predictors of severe events. Screening of single nucleotide polymorphisms of GSTP1 in colorectal cancer patients before chemotherapy may help to realize personalized therapy.
