Özet
Polymorphisms of estrogen synthesis-and adiposity-related genes can contribute to the development of breast cancer. The purpose of the current study was to analyze the association between CYP17A1 T27C (rs743572) and LEP-2548G>A (rs7799039) gene polymorphisms and breast cancer. Material and Methods: 199 breast cancer patients and 197 healthy controls were included in the study. The CYP17A1 and LEP gene polymorphisms were determined using polymerase chain reaction-based restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Results: No statistically significant association was found between these polymorphisms and breast cancer risk among a Turkish population. However, stratified analysis of these polymorphisms in relation to different clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer revealed an association between breast cancer diagnosis and the CYP17A1 T27C polymorphism (p = 0.024). Conclusion: Our study suggests no strong association between the CYP17A1 T27C and LEP-2548G>A polymorphisms and the incidence of breast cancer in Turkish women. The potential association between CYP17A1 T27C and the type of breast cancer deserves further consideration.
