SIRT1 (rs3740051) role in pituitary adenoma development.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Our purpose was to determine if SIRT1 (rs4746720, rs3740051) genotypes have an influence on the development of pituitary adenoma (PA).

Methods

The study group included 142 patients with pituitary adenoma (PA) and the control group consisted of 826 healthy people. The genotyping of SIRT1 (rs4746720, rs3740051) was carried out using the real-time polymerase chain reaction method.

Results

Statistically significant results were obtained in the analysis of SIRT1 rs3740051. Significant differences in genotype (G/G, G/A, A/A) distribution were obtained comparing patients with PA without recurrence and PA with recurrence (0, 17.9, 82.1% vs. 6.7, 6.7, 86.7%, respectively, p = 0.022). Also, statistically significant differences were observed when comparing the genoty
