We genotyped three potentially functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using Taqman - rs3734254 of the gene PPARD and rs10865710 and rs1801282 of the gene PPARG - and investigated their associations with lung and UADT cancer survival using Cox regression.
Our results suggest that the association of PPARγ rs1801282</span> polymorphism and NSAID use with the risk of cancer may differ according to cancer type.
In this meta-analysis, we assessed published studies of the association between two common PPARgamma polymorphisms and cancer risk from 26 studies with 27,677 subjects for PPARgamma P12A, from 4 studies with 4,461 subjects for C161T.
The Pro12Ala polymorphism of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) has been associated with decreased obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and other age-associated diseases such as cognitive impairment, hypertension, cancer, osteoarthritis.
Pro12Ala polymorphism in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma) gene and risk of prostate cancer among men in a large cancer prevention study.
Opposite association of two PPARG variants with cancer: overrepresentation of H449H in endometrial carcinoma cases and underrepresentation of P12A in renal cell carcinoma cases.
