The association of NAT2 polymorphisms with adult brain tumors has been unclear. To investigate whether the NAT2 genotype is a risk factor of brain tumors, we determined the frequencies of three common polymorphisms in the NAT2 gene, NAT2*5 (T341C), NAT2*6 (G590A), and NAT2*7(G857A), in brain tumor patients and in age- and gender-matched control subjects (n = 27 in each group). Genotyping was carried out using PCR-RFLP and subjects were phenotyped as a fast or slow acetylator based on the genotypes. The odds ratio of NAT2*7 allele frequency was significantly higher in patients with brain tumor than in controls (odds ratio, 6.786; 95% confidence interval, 2.06-22.37; P = 0.003); in the mean time, NAT2*4/*7 genotype was significantly more common in the patient group than in controls (odds ratio, 6.19; 95% confidence interval, 1.68-22.79; P = 0.0039). The tumors in the patients with NAT2*7 allele tended to be high-grade astrocytoma or glioblastoma multiforme (P = 0.016). In conclusion, these data suggest that the presence of NAT2*7 allele might be a potential risk factor for the development of brain tumors in Taiwan. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=18410 ------>authors2=Hsiao PY ------>authors3=Lee CC ------>authors4=Lee JA ------>authors5=Chen HY ------>authors6= ------>authors6_c= ------>authors=Liu HE ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c=??? ------>publish_area=0 ------>updateTitle=NAT2*7 allele is a potential risk factor for adult brain tumors in Taiwanese population. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag=None ------>submit_date=None ------>country=None ------>no=3 ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho=None ------>publish_year=2008 ------>submit_flag=None ------>publish_month=3 |
