We aimed at determining whether any association exists between genetic polymorphisms in epoxide hydrolase (EPHX1), NADPH-quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1), glutathione S-transferases (GSTM1/P1/T1) and individual susceptibility to breast cancer. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism-based genotyping assays were used to determine the frequency of polymorphisms in EPHX1 (exons 3 and 4), NQO1 (exon 6), GSTM1 (deletion), GSTP1 (exon 5), and GSTT1 (deletion) in a case-control study comprised of 238 patients with breast cancer and 313 healthy individuals. The distribution of genotypes in exon 6 of NQO1 was significantly different between the control group and breast cancer cases. Age-adjusted odds ratio (OR) for variant genotype NQO1*2/*2 was 3.68 (confidence interval (CI) = 1.41-9.62, P = 0.008). Association of GSTP1*2/*2 genotype as well as that of low EPHX1 activity deduced by combinations of genotypes in exons 3 and 4 with breast cancer was suggestive, but nonsignificant. Individuals simultaneously lacking GSTM1 and carrying at least one GSTP1 variant allele were at significantly higher risk of breast cancer (OR = 2.03, CI = 1.18-3.50, P = 0.010). Combinations of either GSTM1null or GSTP1*2 with low activity of EPHX1 presented significant risk of breast cancer (OR = 1.88, CI = 1.00-3.52, P = 0.049 and OR = 2.40, CI = 1.15-5.00, P = 0.019, respectively) as well. In conclusion, the results suggest that genetic polymorphisms in biotransformation enzymes may play a significant role in the development of breast cancer.

D001711 Biotransformation The chemical alteration of an exogenous substance by or in a biological system. The alteration may inactivate the compound or it may result in the production of an active metabolite of an inactive parent compound. The alterations may be divided into METABOLIC DETOXICATION, PHASE I and METABOLIC DETOXICATION, PHASE II.
D015331 Cohort Studies Studies in which subsets of a defined population are identified. These groups may or may not be exposed to factors hypothesized to influence the probability of the occurrence of a particular disease or other outcome. Cohorts are defined populations which, as a whole, are followed in an attempt to determine distinguishing subgroup characteristics.
