However, few studies have been conducted on populations of African origin, which are known to have a high risk of prostate cancer. We studied the functional polymorphisms of CYP17, CYP19, CYP1B1, COMT and UGT1A1 and risk of prostate cancer in two different populations of African descent. METHODS In Guadeloupe (French West Indies), we compared 498 patients with prostate cancer and 565 control subjects. In Kinshasa (DRC), 162 patients with prostate cancer were compared with 144 controls. Genetic polymorphisms have been determined by the technique of SNaPshot PCR and for repeat nucleotides. Logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS The AA genotype and allele of rs4680 (COMT) appear to be inversely associated with risk of prostate cancer in models adjusted for African men (OR: 0.26 (95% CI 0.08 to 0.83), p = 0.003) and Afro-Caribbean (OR: 0.53 (95% CI 0.32 to 0.86), p = 0.04). For the A allele, a significant inverse association was observed among the cases of low-grade Gleason scores and localized clinical stage, in both populations. The long repetitions (TA) n (n> 6) rs8175347 (UGT1A1) were significantly associated with high grades (OR: 1.41 (95% CI 1.00 to 2.00)) and advanced clinical stage cancer prostate (OR: 1.56 (95% CI 1.02 to 2.37)) in Afro-Caribbean men. CONCLUSIONS Our results support the hypothesis that polymorphisms of genes encoding enzymes involved in the metabolism of oestrogen to modulate the risk of prostate cancer in populations of African origin. © 2016FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 195Issue 4SApril 2016Page: e875-e876 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2016MetricsAuthor Information Laurent BRUREAU More articles by this author Dieudonne MONINGO More articles by this author Elise EMEVILLE More articles by this author Severine FERDINAND More articles by this author Marc ROMANA More articles by this author Pascal BLANCHET More articles by this author Luc MULTIGNER More articles by this author Expand All Advertisement Advertisement PDF downloadLoading ...
