Özet
Cytokine genes are important for researching cancer predisposition to cancers that elicit anti-tumor immune response. In this study, we investigated the association between breast cancer and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) -308 (G>A), TNF-β +252 (A>G), and interferon gamma (IFN-γ) +874 (T>A) gene polymorphisms in a Turkish population. This study involved 204 female breast cancer patients and 204 healthy female controls. Genomic DNA was extracted from EDTA-preserved peripheral venous blood of patients and controls by a salting-out method and analyzed by polymerase chain reaction, allele-specific oligonucleotide polymerase chain reaction, and restriction fragment length polymorphism. TNF-α -308 genotype was found to have no effect on breast cancer susceptibility. However, there were statistically significant differences between the genotype frequencies of patients and controls for TNF-β polymorphism (p=0.016) and the allele and genotype frequencies for the IFN-γ polymorphism (p=0.0312 and p0.001, respectively). In the composite genotype analysis, the TNF-α/β GAAG composite genotype (p=0.0424), the TNF-α/IFN-γ GGTT and GATT composite genotypes (p=0.0296 and p=0.0129, respectively), the TNF-β/IFN-γ AGTT composite genotype (p=0.0003), and the TNF-α/β/IFN-γ GGAGTT and GAAGTT composite genotypes (p=0.0437 and p=0.0038, respectively) were estimated to have a protective effect against breast cancer. However, the TNF-α/IFN-γ GGTA composite genotype is a risk factor for breast cancer (p=0.0156). In conclusion, TNF-β +252GG genotype was found more frequent in Turkish breast cancer patients than controls and IFN-γ TA+AA genotypes were estimated to increase breast cancer risk significantly in Turkish population. © 2011 Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.
