Enterococcus faecalis Endocarditis After Endoscopic Mucosal Resection of a Large Sessile Colonic Polyp

Correlations of FUT3 gene polymorphisms with colon polyps

OBJECTIVE

To explore the relationship between fut3 gene polymorphism and colonic polyps.

METHODS

Two hundred patients with colonic polyps and 200 healthy people in our hospital in recent 3 years were taken as the research objects, as the disease group and the control group, respectively. The disease group was divided into cancerous colonic polyps group (n = 50) and non-cancerous colonic polyps group (n = 150).    The peripheral blood nucleated cells of the subjects were collected and isolated. The fut3 gene polymorphism was obtained by sequencing and analyzed combined with the expression of fut3 gene and the level of tumor markers.

RESULTS

The frequency of allele C at rs2561796 locus in the disease group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The frequency of Ag genotype at rs441158 locus in the disease group was significantly higher than that in the control group, and the frequency of Ca genotype at rs2561796 locus was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). In the disease group, the frequency of AA + Ag in the dominant model at rs441158 was significantly higher than that in the control group, and the frequency of Ca + AA in the invisible model at rs2561796 was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The frequency of CGC haplotype in the disease group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The linkage disequilibrium of rs441158 and rs2561796 loci of fut3 gene was high (d' = 0.423). The genotype of rs372725 of fut3 gene was correlated with the expression of fut3 gene (P < 0.05). The expression of fut3 gene in patients with CC genotype was significantly higher than that in patients with other genotypes (P < 0.05).   Conclusion: fut3 gene polymorphism is associated with the susceptibility and carcinogenesis of colonic polyps.
