Interactions between environmental factors and polymorphisms in angiogenesis pathway genes in esophageal adenocarcinoma risk: A case‐only study
AssociationN=335Rihong Zhai et al.(2012)· Cancer

Case-only study of 335 esophageal adenocarcinoma (EA) patients examining gene-environment interactions in angiogenesis pathway genes. Identified significant interactions between SNPs in HIF1AN, TSC2, VEGFR1, PDGFRA, and PDGFRB with GERD, smoking, and BMI. Notable findings include rs2295778 (HIF1AN)-GERD with OR=2.23 (p=0.0005) and dose-response effects with cumulative risk genotypes (OR=12.07 for >5 risk genotypes vs BMI≥25).

About HIF1AN

Enables several functions, including 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase activity; NF-kappaB binding activity; and transition metal ion binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of Notch signaling pathway and positive regulation of myoblast differentiation. Located in cytosol; nucleoplasm; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm.
