Polymorphism of CYP1A1 gene variants rs4646903 and rs1048943 relation to the incidence of cervical cancer in Chhattisgarh

This study was aimed to look association of CYP1A1 m1 (T>C) and m2 (A>G) gene polymorphisms in Chhattisgarh population. In this case-control study, we analyzed leukocyte DNA from a total of 200 subjects form Chhattisgarh (100 cases and 100 controls). All subjects were genotyped for CYP1A1 m1 (T>C) and m2 (A>G) using PCR-RFLP with statistical analysis by using SPSS version 16.0 and VassarStats (online). Among the two gene variants rs4646903 (T>C) and rs1048943 (A>G), individuals with AG and GG genotypes of CYP1A1 m2 polymorphism have significantly higher and increased risk of cervical cancer (OR=2.0, 95%CI=1.04-3.84, p=0.035; OR=62.9, 95%CI=3.72-1063.83, p=0.004 respectively) and the association of CYP1A1 m1 polymorphism did not show any significant relationship with cervical cancer patients (p=0.23). The ‘G’ allele showed strong association with the disease (p<0.0001). Thus, CYP1A1 m2 polymorphism showed an increased risk in the population leading to cervical cancer. Our study suggested that the presence of ‘C’ allele of rs4646903 (T>C) showed no risk and ‘G’ allele of rs1048943 (A>G) might be a leading allele to cause increased cervical cancer susceptibility due to significant association of CYP1A1 m2 gene polymorphism.
