Evaluation of polymorphisms in angiogenesis-related genes as predictive and prognostic markers for sunitinib-treated metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients
AssociationN=121Juana Dornbusch et al.(2016)· Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology

This retrospective cohort study of 121 metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) patients treated with sunitinib evaluated 10 SNPs in angiogenesis-related genes (VEGFA, VEGFR1, VEGFR2, VEGFR3) as prognostic markers. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses identified rs9582036 in VEGFR1 (AA/AC genotypes vs CC wild-type) as significantly associated with improved overall survival (HR=0.241, p=0.018), while rs699947 in VEGFA showed associations with progression-free survival. No significant associations were found between SNPs and sunitinib-induced adverse effects (hand-foot syndrome, hypertension) after multiple testing correction.

About FLT1

This gene encodes a member of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) family. VEGFR family members are receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) which contain an extracellular ligand-binding region with seven immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains, a transmembrane segment, and a tyrosine kinase (TK) domain within the cytoplasmic domain. This protein binds to VEGFR-A, VEGFR-B and placental growth factor and plays an important role in angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. Expression of this receptor is found in vascular endothelial cells, placental trophoblast cells and peripheral blood monocytes. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Isoforms include a full-length transmembrane receptor isoform and shortened, soluble isoforms. The soluble isoforms are associated with the onset of pre-eclampsia.[provided by RefSeq, May 2009]
