ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of homozygous deletion of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes and their combinations between patients with breast cancer and healthy individuals, associating them with disease susceptibility. METHODS: This is a case-control study in which 49 women diagnosed with breast cancer confirmed by pathological examination and 49 healthy women with no evidence of cancer and no prior family history of breast cancer were invited to participate. All of them answered a questionnaire with epidemiological data and were submitted to blood sample collection. Genomic DNA was extracted from blood, and genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction. Data were analyzed with SPSS 20.0. RESULTS: The frequency of null alleles for GSTM1 and GSTT1 was 58.8 and 61.7%, respectively, for patients with breast cancer, and 41.2 and 38.3%, respectively, in control patients. In homozygous deletion of the GSTM1 gene, a significantly higher frequency was found in the breast cancer cases. CONCLUSION: Breast cancer patients presented higher frequency of homozygous deletion of the GSTM1 gene compared with the control group.
RESUMO
OBJETIVO: Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a frequência de deleção homozigótica dos genes GSTM1 e GSTT1 e suas combinações entre os pacientes com câncer de mama e indivíduos saudáveis, associando-se a suscetibilidade à doença. MÉTODOS: Este é um estudo de caso-controle, no qual 49 mulheres diagnosticadas com câncer de mama confirmado por exame anatomopatológico e 49 mulheres saudáveis, sem evidência de câncer e sem história familiar prévia de câncer de mama, foram convidadas a participar. Todas responderam a um questionário com dados epidemiológicos e foram submetidas à coleta de sangue. O DNA foi extraído a partir de sangue, e genotipagem foi realizada por reação em cadeia da polimerase. Os dados foram analisados com o SPSS 20.0. RESULTADOS: A frequência de alelos nulos para GSTM1 e GSTT1 foi de 58,8 e 61,7%, respectivamente, para as pacientes com câncer de mama, e 41,2 e 38,3%, respectivamente, em pacientes do grupo controle. Em deleção homozigótica do gene GSTM1, uma frequência significativamente maior foi encontrada nos casos. CONCLUSÃO: Pacientes com câncer de mama apresentam uma maior frequência de deleção homozigótica do gene GSTM1 quando comparadas com o grupo controle.
