Abstract 385P
Background
Introduction: Breast Cancer is one of the most common cancer in Iranian women. Whole genome association study of breast cancer have recognized various single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are related with increased breast cancer risk in the population. This study aimed at assessing the correlation between caspase-8 (CASP8) gene polymorphisms (rs3754934 and rs12990906) and the pathogenesis of breast cancer in Northeast of Iran.
Methods
In a case- control study a total of 450 breast cancer cases and 553 healthy subjects were included in this study. Polymorphisms were genotyped by amplification-refractory mutation system (ARMS). The chi-squared test was used to calculate Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval to determine the relationship between CASP8 polymorphisms and breast cancer risk.
Results
According to the results, after adjustment for confounding factors, rs3754934 in dominant model (CA+AA vs. CC) [p = 0.004, OR = 0.49 95% CI (0.27-0.78)] and rs12990906 in allelic model (T vs. C) [p = 0.026, OR = 1.27, 95%CI (1.03-1.58)] were associated with the risk of breast cancer in this population. We did not find any association with breast cancer risk factors, clinical and pathologic features and prognosis and considered polymorphisms.
Conclusions
Polymorphisms of CASP8 gene may have a crucial role in association with the risk of breast cancer. However, further larger studies can confirm such findings. An understanding of the mode of action of these variants will aid individual-level breast cancer risk prediction.
