Background: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between MTRR A66G, MTRA2756G gene variations and cell anomalies in the early diagnosis and progression of bladder cancer. Methods: PCR and RFLP methods were used to determine the genotype distributions of MTRR A66G and MTR A2756G gene variations. Peripheral smear preparations prepared from blood samples were fixed with methanol fixative and stained histochemically. Cellular morphological evaluations were made under the light microscope. Results: In our study, AA-GG haplotype was observed significantly more in the patient group than control group (OR: 3.304, 95% CI: 1.023–10.665, p = 0.046). The significant increase was determined in terms of histological damage parameters in the patient group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). For multiple vacuoles damage parameter (mild score), AA genotype of MTR A2756G gene variation was significantly different compared to AA genotype of MTRR A66G gene variation (OR: 0.211, 0.049–0.912, p = 0.037). AA genotype of MTR A2756G gene variation was observed more than AA homozygous genotype of MTR A66G gene variation for giant platelets with different sizes damage parameter (mild score) (OR: 0.062, 0.017–0.228, p < 0.001). Conclusions: In conclusion, in Thrace population, AA genotype of the MTR A2756G gene variation was significantly higher than the AA homozygous genotype of the MTR A66G gene variation as a genetic risk factor for the multiple vacuoles damage parameter. In addition, AA genotype of MTR A2756G gene variation was determined as a genetic risk factor for giant platelets with different sizes damage parameter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
