DNMT1 rs2228611, rs2228612 and DNMT3A rs2276598, rs752208 Polymorphisms and Their Association with Breast Cancer Phenotype and Prognosis.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. This study investigates the impact of genetic polymorphisms in DNA methyltransferases (DNMT1 and DNMT3A) on breast cancer pathomorphology and patient prognosis. Specifically, we focused on DNMT1 polymorphisms rs2228611 and rs2228612 and DNMT3A polymorphisms rs2276598 and rs752208. Materials and Methods: Conducted at the Institute of Oncology of the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, this study included 201 Lithuanian women with early-stage breast cancer. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples, and genotyping for the specified polymorphisms was performed using the PCR-RFLP assay. Statistical analyses were applied to evaluate associations be
