Sentence |
denotes |
INTRODUCTION: |
T3 |
154-320 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Somatic alterations have been shown to correlate with breast cancer prognosis and survival, but less is known about the effects of common inherited genetic variation. |
T4 |
321-416 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Of particular interest are genes involved in cell cycle pathways, which regulate cell division. |
T5 |
417-425 |
Sentence |
denotes |
METHODS: |
T6 |
426-862 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We examined associations between common germline genetic variation in 13 genes involved in cell cycle control (CCND1, CCND2, CCND3, CCNE1, CDK2 [p33], CDK4, CDK6, CDKN1A [p21, Cip1], CDKN1B [p27, Kip1], CDKN2A [p16], CDKN2B [p15], CDKN2C [p18], and CDKN2D [p19]) and survival among women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer participating in the SEARCH (Studies of Epidemiology and Risk factors in Cancer Heredity) breast cancer study. |
T7 |
863-1010 |
Sentence |
denotes |
DNA from up to 4,470 women was genotyped for 85 polymorphisms that tag the known common polymorphisms (minor allele frequency > 0.05) in the genes. |
T8 |
1011-1118 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The genotypes of each polymorphism were tested for association with survival using Cox regression analysis. |
T9 |
1119-1127 |
Sentence |
denotes |
RESULTS: |
T10 |
1128-1322 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The rare allele of the tagging single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs2479717 is associated with an increased risk of death (hazard ratio = 1.26 per rare allele carried, 95% confidence interval: |
T11 |
1323-1430 |
Sentence |
denotes |
1.12 to 1.42; P = 0.0001), which was not attenuated after adjusting for tumour stage, grade, and treatment. |
T12 |
1431-1553 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This SNP is part of a large linkage disequilibrium block, which contains CCND3, BYSL, TRFP, USP49, C6ofr49, FRS3, and PGC. |
T13 |
1554-1714 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We evaluated the association of survival and somatic expression of these genes in breast tumours using expression microarray data from seven published datasets. |
T14 |
1715-1847 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Elevated expression of the C6orf49 transcript was associated with breast cancer survival, adding biological interest to the finding. |
T15 |
1848-1859 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CONCLUSION: |
T16 |
1860-1989 |
Sentence |
denotes |
It is possible that CCND3 rs2479717, or another variant it tags, is associated with prognosis after a diagnosis of breast cancer. |
T17 |
1990-2041 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Further study is required to validate this finding. |
