▶Genetic variants in one‐carbon metabolism‐related genes contribute to NSCLC prognosis in a Chinese populationAssociationN=564Guangfu Jin et al.(2010)· Cancer
This association study screened 57 SNPs from 11 one-carbon metabolism genes in 564 NSCLC patients to identify genetic variants affecting lung cancer prognosis. Key findings included favorable prognostic associations for MTR rs3768160 A>G (HR=0.78, 95% CI 0.62-0.98), MTRR rs2966952 G>A (HR=0.84, 95% CI 0.71-0.99), and DHFR rs1650697 G>A (HR=0.83, 95% CI 0.70-0.99), with unfavorable prognosis for MTHFD1 rs1950902 G>A (HR=1.18, 95% CI 0.99-1.40). Combined analysis of these four SNPs demonstrated a locus-dosage effect on NSCLC survival (P trend = 6.9×10⁻⁵) and identified combined genotypes as an independent prognostic factor.
About CBS
The protein encoded by this gene acts as a homotetramer to catalyze the conversion of homocysteine to cystathionine, the first step in the transsulfuration pathway. The encoded protein is allosterically activated by adenosyl-methionine and uses pyridoxal phosphate as a cofactor. Defects in this gene can cause cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency (CBSD), which can lead to homocystinuria. This gene is a major contributor to cellular hydrogen sulfide production. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
