Abstract
Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the main type of cancer in children. In Mexico and other Hispanic populations, the incidence of this neoplasm is one of the highest reported worldwide. Functional polymorphisms of various enzymes involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics have been associated with an increased risk of developing ALL, and the risk is different by ethnicity. The aims of the present study were to identify whether NQO1, CYP2E1, and NAT2 polymorphisms or some genotype-environmental interactions were associated with ALL risk in Mexican children. Methods: We conducted a case-control study including 478 pediatric patients diagnosed with ALL and 284 controls (children without leukemia). Ancestry composition of a subset of cases and controls was assessed using 32 ancestry informative markers. Genetic-environmental interactions for the exposure to hydrocarbons were assessed by logistic regression analysis. Results: The polymorphisms rs1801280 (OR 1.54, 95% CI 1.21–1.93), rs1799929 (OR 1.96, 95% CI 1.55–2.49), and rs1208 (OR 1.44, 95% CI 1.14–1.81) were found to increase the risk of ALL; being the risks higher under a recessive model (OR 2.20, 95% CI 1.30–1.71, OR 3.87, 95% CI 2.20–6.80, and OR 2.26, 95% CI 1.32–3.87, respectively). Gene-environment interaction analysis showed that NAT2 rs1799929 TT genotype confers high risk to ALL under exposure to fertilizers, insecticides, hydrocarbon derivatives, and parental tobacco smoking. No associations among NQO1, CYP2E1, and ALL were observed. Conclusion: Our study provides evidence for the association between NAT2 polymorphisms/gene-environment interactions, and the risk of childhood ALL in Mexican children.

Abstract
The antioxidant defense system protects DNA from the damaging effects of oxidative stress and is hypothesized to be associated with an increased risk of male infertility. Polymorphisms in antioxidant genes and the gene-gene interactions associated with the antioxidant system may increase the potential risk of male infertility. In the present case-controlled study, the individual link between seven gene polymorphisms (NQO1 rs1800566, SOD2 rs4880, GSTM3 rs1571858, rs3814309, rs7483, GSTM5 rs11807 and GSTP1 rs1695) and the risk of male infertility was investigated. A total of 248 idiopathic infertility patients and 310 fertile controls were selected, and genotyping was performed using the Mass ARRAY platform. There were no significant associations between the seven polymorphisms and risk of male infertility. However, the analysis of gene-gene interactions showed a decreased risk of male infertility in GSTM3 rs3814309/NQO1 rs1800566 [CC x CT/TT; odds ratio (OR)=0.56, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.34-0.92; P=0.022), and a significant association between a gene-gene interaction in GSTM3 rs1571858/NQO1 rs1800566 and azoospermia (AG/GG x CC; OR=3.84, 95% CI=1.25-11.81; P=0.019).

Sickle Cell Anemia Patients in Use of Hydroxyurea: Association between Polymorphisms in Genes Encoding Metabolizing Drug Enzymes and Laboratory Parameters. DISEASE MARKERS 2018; 2018:6105691.

Abstract
This study investigated associations between SNPs in genes encoding metabolizing drug enzymes and laboratory parameters in sickle cell anemia patients under hydroxyurea (SCA-HU+). We evaluated hematologic and biochemical parameters by electronic methods and SNPs by PCR-RFLP and multiplex PCR in 35 SCA-HU+ patients and 67 SCA-HU- patients. The HbS, total cholesterol, lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin and fractions levels, and leukocyte, eosinophil, monocyte, and erythroblast counts were reduced in SCA-HU+ patients (p < 0.05). Moreover, they presented higher HbF, C-reactive protein, and ferritin levels and elevated MCH and MCV values (p < 0.05). Genotype frequencies of variants GA + AA of MPO -463G>A and c1c2 + c2c2 of CYP2E1 -1293G>C/-1053C>T were higher in SCA-HU+ patients (p < 0.05). Independent associations were found between the variant A allele and lower total cholesterol, between c2 allele and low alpha-1 antitrypsin and between the null GSTT1 variant and high indirect and total bilirubin in SCA-HU+ patients. In SCA-HU- patients, independent associations were found between the variant A allele and high uric acid and between c2 allele and high urea. Our results suggest that SNPs MPO -463G>A, CYP2E1 -1293G>C/-1053C>T, and GSTT1 can be associated with alterations in lipid, inflammatory, renal, hemolytic, and hepatic profiles. However, further studies are needed to elucidate these associations.

[PMID: 27279837 PMCID: PMC4889682 DOI: 10.5114/aoms.2016.59920] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2014] [Accepted: 11/10/2014] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is a complex disease caused by a combination of genetic susceptibility and environmental exposure. Previous genome-wide association studies have reported several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with the incidence of ALL. Several variations in genes encoding enzymes involved in carcinogenesis are suggested as being associated with an increased risk of ALL development. MATERIAL AND METHODS We enrolled 77 paediatric ALL patients and 122 healthy controls, and in addition parental DNA was also available for 45 probands. SNPs rs10821936 (ARID5B), rs4132601 (IKZF1), rs2239633 (CEBPE), rs3731217 (CDKN2A) and rs1800566 (NQO1) and the presence of GSTT1 and GSTM1 null variants were detected. For statistical analysis the hybrid method of two designs 'Haplin' was used as well as linkage disequilibrium for family-based association studies. RESULTS We identified the SNP rs10821936 in the ARID5B gene as being statistically significantly associated with childhood ALL, especially if the C allele is in a homozygous state, relative risk (RR) 4.65, 95% CI: 2.03-10.6, p = 0.0006. Statistically significant differences were not found in other SNPs. We found risk combinations including all five variations, the strongest association being found in a combination where all five genetic variants are in a homozygous state, CCTTTTTTCC, p = 0.032. CONCLUSIONS The identified SNP rs10821936 could serve as a potential risk marker for childhood ALL development. Further studies in an independent population are needed for verification.
