Abstract:
Objective To investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms of catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) of Val158Met are associated with the risk of breast cancer.Methods Gene polymorphisms of COMT were detected using di-allele-specific-amplification with artificially modified primers combined with SYBR Green I real-time polymerase chain reaction in a case-control study,which included 96 breast cancer patients (treatment group) and 116 healthy women(control group).Results The frequency of allele G in COMT gene Val158Met was 65.10% and 71.98% in treatment group and control group,and the frequency of allele A were 34.90% and 28.02% respectively.There were no differences between the two groups in allele frequencies of COMT Val158Met among Guangxi Baise population (all P > 0.05).COMT Val158Met G/G genotype frequency distribution of the treatment group (38.54%) was lower than that of control group (54.31%),A/G genotype frequency distribution of the treatment group was higher(53.13%)than that of control group (35.34%).The distribution frequency differences of the two groups homozygous wild-type and heterozygous were statistically significant (all P < 0.05).A/A genotype frequency distribution was relatively similar in the treatment group and control group,and they were 8.33% and 10.35% respectively.The breast cancer risks of Guangxi Baise women with A/G heterozygous genotype increased by 2.118 times compared with that of G/G homozygous genotype.Conclusion Gene polymorphism of COMT Val158Met may be associated with the risk of breast cancer.
