Lack of association of CYP1A1-MspI SNP and GSTM1 null genotypes with cancer in a Brazilian family with unusually high cancer incidence

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Research has shown that genetic polymorphisms in biotransformation enzymes, such as CYP1A1 and GSTM1, are related to a greater or lesser susceptibility to various cancers. We made an analysis of CYP1A1m1 SNP and GSTM1 null genotypes in a family group (71 members) related by consanguinity who had an unusually high incidence of cancer and a high frequency of smokers. There were no significant differences in genotype frequencies in this family when compared to data for Brazilian populations. Possibly, t… Show more

“…Their association with NPC has been reported in some ethnic groups (Tiwawech et al, 2006;Murthy et al, 2013;Russo et al, 2013;Wei et al, 2013;Yang et al, 2015) [. However, non-association has also been reported in many studies (Cheng et al, 2003;Rossini et al, 2007;Boccia et al, 2008;Moraes et al, 2012). The levels of expression and catalytic activities of and GSTM1 and GSTT1 enzymes in NPC, and their metabolic balance, may be an important determinant host factor underlying NPC.…”

“…This indicates that CYP1A1 MspI mutant genotypes contribute to familial aggregation. However, Moraes et al (2012) did not discover any obvious correlation between CYP1A1 MspI gene polymorphism and tumor occurrence among Brazilian families with very high tumor incidence. This discrepancy may be explained by ethnic differences.…”
