Genetic 3'UTR variations and clinical factors significantly contribute to survival prediction and clinical response in breast cancer patients.

ABSTRACT: The study describes a relationship between the 3'UTR variants, clinicopathological parameters and response to chemotherapy. We analyzed 33 germline polymorphisms in 3'UTRs of ADME genes in 305 breast cancer women treated with FAC regime. Clinical endpoints of this study were: overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall response defined as treatment failure-free survival (TFFS). The shortened OS was connected with the presence of NR1/2 rs3732359 AA, SLC22A16 rs7756222 CC, as well as SLC22A16 rs9487402 allele G and clinical factors belonging to TNM classification: tumor size >1 cm, nodal involvement and presence of metastases. PFS was related to two polymorphisms PGR rs1824125 GG, PGR rs12224560 CC and SLC22A16 rs7756222 CC as well as pr
