Association of GSTP1 p.Ile105Val (rs1695, c.313A > G) Variant with the Risk of Breast Carcinoma among Egyptian Women.

Several reports examined the association of the GSTP1 p.Ile105Val (rs1695, c.313A > G) variant with the elevated risk of multiple cancerous diseases involving breast carcinoma, but with inconclusive findings. The primary purpose of this study is to test the association of this essential variant with the risk of breast carcinoma among Egyptian females. This case-control study was conducted based on 200 participants involving 100 women diagnosed with breast carcinoma and 100 unrelated cancer-free controls from the same district. The genomic DNA for all participants was genotyped utilizing T-ARMS-PCR procedure. The frequencies of the GSTP1 p.Ile105Val (rs1695, c.313A > G) variant indicated a statistically significant with the elevated risk of breast carcinoma under various genetic models, including allelic (OR = 2.48, P-value < 0.001) and dominant (OR = 2.36, P-value = 0.003) models. In conclusion, the GSTP1 p.Ile105Val (rs1695, c.313A > G) variant was considered as an independent risk factor for breast carcinoma among Egyptian women.
