▶Associations of polymorphisms in the genes of FGFR2, FGF1, and RBFOX2 with breast cancer risk by estrogen/progesterone receptor statusAssociationN=2,416Yu‐Ling Cen et al.(2013)· Molecular Carcinogenesis
A hospital-based case-control study in rural and urban India (1,204 cases; 1,212 controls) examined genetic and lifestyle risk factors for breast cancer. Four SNPs in FGFR2 (rs1219648, rs2420946, rs2981575, rs2981582) showed positive associations with breast cancer (ORs 1.32-1.47). Additional SNPs in obesity and metabolic genes (rs374748 in FBN2, rs2922763 in HNF4G, rs2116830 in KCNMA1, rs11121832 in MTHFR, rs16886165 in MAP3K1, rs11594610 in TCF7L2, rs2274459 in MLN) were associated with increased breast cancer risk. Waist-to-hip ratio ≥0.95 showed strong association (OR 3.78; 95% CI 2.92-4.89), and women living first 20 years in rural areas showed protective effect (OR 0.77).
▶Influence of neurexin 1 (NRXN1) polymorphisms in clozapine responseReviewRenan P. Souza et al.(2010)· Human Psychopharmacology: Clinical and Experimental
This systematic review of 98 studies examined biological predictors of clozapine response in treatment-resistant schizophrenia patients. Of 379 different gene variants investigated across 70 genetic studies, only three variants (DRD3 Ser9Gly rs6280, HTR2A His452Tyr, and GNB3 C825T) achieved independent replication. Non-genetic predictors included higher prefrontal cortical volumes and lower HVA:5-HIAA ratio in cerebrospinal fluid.
▶Polymorphisms in the GNB3 and ADD1 genes and blood pressure in a Chinese populationAssociationN=2,746Shufeng Chen et al.(2010)· Human Genetics
A study of 2,746 Han Chinese participants from 636 families examined associations between 12 SNPs in GNB3 and ADD1 genes and blood pressure (SBP, DBP, MAP). The GNB3 SNP rs4963516 showed significant association with diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure, with CC homozygotes having 2.35 mmHg higher DBP (P=0.0002) and 2.45 mmHg higher MAP (P=0.0004) compared to A allele carriers, suggesting a role for GNB3 in blood pressure regulation in Chinese populations.
▶Lack of association of GPX1 and MnSOD genes with symptom severity and response to clozapine treatment in schizophrenia subjectsReviewRenan P. Souza et al.(2009)· Human Psychopharmacology: Clinical and Experimental
A systematic review of 98 studies investigating biological predictors of clozapine response in treatment-resistant schizophrenia. Of 70 genetic studies examining 379 variants, only three genetic variants have independently replicated findings: DRD3 Ser9Gly (rs6280), HTR2A His452Tyr, and GNB3 C825T (rs5442/rs5443). Non-genetic predictors include higher prefrontal cortical structural integrity and activity, and lower HVA:5-HIAA ratio in cerebrospinal fluid.
About GNB3
Heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins), which integrate signals between receptors and effector proteins, are composed of an alpha, a beta, and a gamma subunit. These subunits are encoded by families of related genes. This gene encodes a beta subunit which belongs to the WD repeat G protein beta family. Beta subunits are important regulators of alpha subunits, as well as of certain signal transduction receptors and effectors. A single-nucleotide polymorphism (C825T) in this gene is associated with essential hypertension and obesity. This polymorphism is also associated with the occurrence of the splice variant GNB3-s, which appears to have increased activity. GNB3-s is an example of alternative splicing caused by a nucleotide change outside of the splice donor and acceptor sites. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Additional alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but their full-length nature is not known. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
