| Popis: | Aim: Gem-associated protein 4 (GEMIN4), a member of the GEMIN gene family, is a key compound of the regulating factors responsible for miRNA biogenesis. Genetic variability within this gene can alter the risk for development of colorectal cancer (CRC) as was shown for other genes involved in miRNA biogenesis. Therefore, presented study was intended to identify genetic variants of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the GEMIN4 gene (rs1062923, rs2740348 and rs910925) and their relationship with CRC. Methods: The study comprised 203 patients and 179 age and sex matched controls. Genotyping of GEMIN4 gene variants was done using Taqman® assay. The association of GEMIN4 variants with CRC was done by odds ratio analysis. Haplotype analysis was done to see the combined effect of studied variants on CRC. Results: Patients carrying all variant genotypes for GEMIN4 rs1062923 (odds ratio [OR]= 0.205; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.1034–0.4065 for CC variant and [OR] = 0.1436; [CI] = 0.0869–0.2373 for CT variant, respectively) and GEMIN4 rs2740348 (odds ratio [OR] = 0.4498; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.2342–0.8637 for CC variant and [OR] = 0.3986; [CI] = 0.2043–0.7776 for CG variant, respectively) showed significant association in lower occurrence of cancer, whereas in case of GEMIN4 G/C rs910925 variant genotype, no significance correlation was found. Conclusion: Our study gives a substantive support for the association between the GEMIN4 gene variants/miRNA biogenesis and CRC risk. |
