    Association of PD-1 and PDL-1 gene polymorphisms with colorectal cancer risk and prognosis
    (2022-03-01) KARAALP, ATİLA; SÜSLEYİCİ, BELGİN; Cevik M., Namal E., Iner-Koksal U., Dinc-Sener N., KARAALP A., Ciftci C., SÜSLEYİCİ B.
    Background Programmed Cell Death-1 (PD-1) together with Programmed Death Ligand 1 (PDL-1) have crucial roles in anti-tumor immune response, cancer susceptibility and prognosis. Since PD-1 and PDL-1 have been considered as important genetic risk factors in cancer development and their functions can be affected by polymorphic sites, we investigated the effects of PD-1 rs2227981, rs2227982, rs36084323 and PDL-1 rs2282055, rs822336 gene polymorphisms on colorectal cancer (CRC) risk and prognosis in Turkish subjects. Methods and results Our study group consisted of 5-FU or Capacitabine prescribed CRC diagnosed patients and healthy controls. Genotype analyses of PD1 and PDL-1 polymorphisms were performed with Agena MassARRAY platform. rs36084323 CT genotype frequency was found to be higher in controls compared to cases (p C polymorphism might be useful in predicting CRC prognosis. PDL-1 rs2282055 T > G polymorphism might be useful in predicting both CRC risk and prognosis. Further studies should be conducted in larger and different populations to clear the roles of PD-1 and PDL-1 polymorphisms in CRC risk and prognosis.

    Association of PD-1 and PDL-1 gene polymorphisms with colorectal cancer risk and prognosis

    Background Programmed Cell Death-1 (PD-1) together with Programmed Death Ligand 1 (PDL-1) have crucial roles in anti-tumor immune response, cancer susceptibility and prognosis. Since PD-1 and PDL-1 have been considered as important genetic risk factors in cancer development and their functions can be affected by polymorphic sites, we investigated the effects of PD-1 rs2227981, rs2227982, rs36084323 and PDL-1 rs2282055, rs822336 gene polymorphisms on colorectal cancer (CRC) risk and prognosis in Turkish subjects. Methods and results Our study group consisted of 5-FU or Capacitabine prescribed CRC diagnosed patients and healthy controls. Genotype analyses of PD1 and PDL-1 polymorphisms were performed with Agena MassARRAY platform. rs36084323 CT genotype frequency was found to be higher in controls compared to cases (p < 0.001). rs36084323 CT genotype was highly associated with reduced CRC risk compared to CC genotype (OR 0.068, 95% CI 0.022-0.211, p < 0.001). In adjusted analysis, rs2282055 GG genotype was found to be associated with reduced CRC risk (OR 0.271, 95% CI 0.078-0.940, p = 0.040). rs2282055 TT genotype was found to be related to longer progression-free (Bonferroni corrected Log rank p = 0.013) and overall survival (Bonferroni corrected Log rank p = 0.009) to that of GG genotypes. Patients with rs822336 GC+CC genotypes showed longer overall survival times compared to GG (Log rank p = 0.044). Conclusions According to our results, PD-1 rs822336 G > C polymorphism might be useful in predicting CRC prognosis. PDL-1 rs2282055 T > G polymorphism might be useful in predicting both CRC risk and prognosis. Further studies should be conducted in larger and different populations to clear the roles of PD-1 and PDL-1 polymorphisms in CRC risk and prognosis.

    Warfarin pharmacogenetics in patients with heart valve replacement
    (ELSEVIER, 2020) KARAALP, ATİLA; Bezci, Kivanc; Cevik, Mehtap; Akdeniz, Cansu Selcan; Canbolat, Ismail Polat; Yurdakul, Selen; Sunbul, Murat; Atas, Halil; Cagatay, Penbe; Ciftci, Cavlan; Karaalp, Atila; Susleyici, Belgin
    Background: Warfarin treatment is crucial to prevent thrombolytic complications after the heart valve replacement (HVR) operation. Our purpose was to investigate the prevalence of CYP2C9 *2 and *3 gene polymorphisms, which are essential in warfarin metabolism in patients with and without HVR surgery prescribed with warfarin. Material and method: 47 patients with and without HVR were genotyped for the CYP2C9*2 (rs1799853, 430 C> T), CYP2C9*3 (rs1057910, 1075 A> C) polymorphisms by PCR-RFLP assay. Results: Homozygous wild (CC), heterozygous and homozygous polymorphic (CT+TT) genotype frequencies of CYP2C9 *2 were determined respectively as 69.6% and 30.4% for patients with HVR; 79.2% and 20.8% for patients without HVR. Homozygous wild (AA) and heterozygous (AC) genotype frequencies of CYP2C9 *3 polymorphism were determined respectively as 73.9% and 26.1%f for patients with HVR; 79.2% and 20.8% for patients without HVR. CYP2C9 *2 and *3 genotype frequencies did not show any statistically significant difference between with and without HVR groups. Conclusion: In the present study, no significant difference was observed between patients with and without HVR with respect to CYP 2C9 *2 and *3 gene polymorphisms in Turkish subjects. Further studies with higher number of patients are needed to evaluate the importance of CYP 2C9 *2 and *3 pharmacogenetic testing in patients with HVR using warfarin.

    The effects of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 gene polymorphisms on warfarin maintenance dose in Turkish cardiac patients
    (FUTURE MEDICINE LTD, 2020) KARAALP, ATİLA; Akdeniz, Cansu Selcan; Cevik, Mehtap; Canbolat, Ismail Polat; Yurdakul, Selen; Cagatay, Penbe; Ciftci, Cavlan; Karaalp, Atila; Susleyici, Belgin
    Aim: Our aim was to examine the effect of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 polymorphisms on warfarin dose requirements in Turkish patients. Materials & methods: 24 warfarin prescribed patients were included and analyzed for eight VKORC1 and 6 CYP2C9 polymorphisms in the study. Results: Patients with CYP2C9 *1/*1 and VKORC1 -1639 GG and GA genotypes required higher warfarin doses in comparison to wild type VKORC1 genotype. Patients with CYP2C9 *1/*3 and VKORC1 -1639 GG genotypes simultaneously, required the lowest dose of warfarin (4.64 mg/day). Patients with CYP2C9 *1/*1 and VKORC1 9041 AA genotype were found to require higher warfarin doses. Conclusion: Our results provide additional evidence to support the hypothesis that CYP2C9 *2, *3, VKORC1 9041 G > A polymorphisms explain considerable proportion of inter-individual variability in warfarin dose requirement.
