A case-control study in Chinese population examining SNPs in estrogen metabolic pathway genes and colorectal cancer risk and survival. rs3760806 in SULT2B1 was significantly associated with colorectal cancer risk in both males (OR=1.38, 95% CI 1.15-1.66) and females (OR=1.38, 95% CI 1.13-1.68). Two SNPs in SULT1E1 (rs1238574 and rs3822172) were associated with poor progression-free and overall survival (HRs 1.24-1.53).
About SULT2B1
Sulfotransferase enzymes catalyze the sulfate conjugation of many hormones, neurotransmitters, drugs, and xenobiotic compounds. These cytosolic enzymes are different in their tissue distributions and substrate specificities. The gene structure (number and length of exons) is similar among family members. This gene sulfates dehydroepiandrosterone but not 4-nitrophenol, a typical substrate for the phenol and estrogen sulfotransferase subfamilies. Two alternatively spliced variants that encode different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
