ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The proactive role of vitamin D has been well determined in different cancers. The protein that encodes the components of the vitamin D metabolism could appear to play a pivotal role in vitamin D stability and its maintenance. A polymorphism in vitamin-D-receptor (VDR), carrier globulin/binding protein (GC) and cytochrome P-450 family 2, subfamily R, polypeptide 1 (CYP2R1) genes has been predicted to be associated with the development of cancer. This study was designed to detect the association of VDR, GC Globulin and CYP2R1 gene polymorphism with the risk of esophageal cancer in the North-east Indian population.
METHODS: To carry out the study, a total of 100 patients diagnosed with esophageal cancer and 101 healthy controls were enrolled. In a case-control manner, all samples were subjected to do genotype testing for known SNPs on the VDR (rs1544410), GC (rs4588), and CYP2R1 (rs10741657) genes using Restriction-fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) followed by Sanger sequencing. The collected demographic and clinical data were analysed using the statistical software package SPSS v22.0.
RESULTS: The VDR haplotype heterozygous TC was found strongly associated with the carcinoma group (OR:1.09, 95%CI:0.67-1.75). The risk factors analysis using the GC globulin rs4588 phenotype, found a positive correlation in terms of mutant AA’s harmful influence on the cancer cohort (OR = 1.125, OR=1.125, 95% CI, 0.573-2.206). The influence of the CYP2R1 rs10741657 polymorphism on the malignant cohort revealed that the GG mutant had a significant negative influence on the carcinoma, has an influential role in disease severity ( OR:1.736, at 95% CI; 0.368-8.180).
CONCLUSION: In conclusion, this study revealed the potential association of VDR gene polymorphism in the progression and development of esophageal cancer in north east Indian population cohort.
