▶Genetic polymorphisms in oxidative stress‐related genes are associated with outcomes following treatment for aggressive B‐cell non‐Hodgkin lymphomaAssociationN=909Heather L. Gustafson et al.(2014)· American Journal of Hematology
Genetic polymorphisms in oxidative stress-related genes were associated with treatment outcomes in aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In discovery (n=337) and validation (n=572) cohorts, rare homozygotes for MPO rs2243828 (HR=1.87, P=0.013) and AKR1C3 rs10508293 (HR=2.09, P=0.0032) were associated with increased risk of progression, while NCF4 rs1883112 rare homozygotes showed protective effects against progression (HR=0.66, P=0.06 discovery; HR=0.66, P=0.05 validation). Meta-analysis confirmed NCF4 association with improved survival outcomes (HR=0.66, P<0.01).
▶Genetic variation in the carbonyl reductase 3 gene confers risk of type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance: a potential regulator of adipogenesisAssociationN=8,075Chang YC et al.(2012)· Journal of Molecular Medicine
This case-control association study identified rs10483032 in the CBR3 gene as associated with type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance in Chinese populations (combined OR = 1.29, 95% CI = 1.14-1.47, P < 0.0001). The association was replicated in multiple Chinese samples and validated in the FUSION GWAS. Functional studies demonstrated CBR3 expression increases during adipocyte differentiation, and CBR3 knockdown enhanced adipogenesis, suggesting the risk variant modulates type 2 diabetes susceptibility through effects on adipogenesis and insulin sensitivity.
About AKR1C3
This gene encodes a member of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily, which consists of more than 40 known enzymes and proteins. These enzymes catalyze the conversion of aldehydes and ketones to their corresponding alcohols by utilizing NADH and/or NADPH as cofactors. The enzymes display overlapping but distinct substrate specificity. This enzyme catalyzes the reduction of prostaglandin (PG) D2, PGH2 and phenanthrenequinone (PQ), and the oxidation of 9alpha,11beta-PGF2 to PGD2. It may play an important role in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases such as asthma, and may also have a role in controlling cell growth and/or differentiation. This gene shares high sequence identity with three other gene members and is clustered with those three genes at chromosome 10p15-p14. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]
