Polymorphisms in NQO1 and MPO genes and risk for bladder cancer in Tunisian population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

NAD (P) H: quinone oxidoreductase (1) (NQO1-HGNC: 2874) and myeloperoxidase (MPO-HGNC: 7218) are two enzymes involved in phase II of the xenobiotic metabolism pathway.

Methods

In this study, a case-control analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between genetic variations in the NQO1 (C609T, rs1800566; IVS1-27 C >G, rs689452) and MPO (G463A, rs2333227) genes and the risk for bladder cancer among Tunisian population.

Results

We have found that the MPO 463GA genotype was associated with a decreased risk of developing bladder cancer (p = 0.049; OR = 0.696; 95% CI 0.484-0.999). In contrast, we have found that the NQO1 609CT genotype could increase the risk of bladder cancer patients (p = 0.0039; OR = 1.454; 95% CI = 1.017-2.078). Moreover, patien
