Abstract
BACKGROUND
Estramustine phosphate sodium (EMP) frequently causes side-effects such as gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, and edema in extremities. We analyzed single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD17B) genes, which are involved in the metabolism of EMP, to predict the risk of EMP side-effects in prostate cancer patients.
METHODS
We performed genotyping of SNP in the HSD17B genes of 44 Japanese patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer. The association of SNP and individual EMP side-effects was evaluated.
RESULTS
Peripheral edema occurred more frequently in patients with C/C genotype of IMS-JST123219 than in those with C/G genotype (OR: 5.47, 95% CI: 1.27-23.64). Haplotype analysis showed that appetite loss was associated with the G allele of IMS-JST123219 and the T allele of IMS-JST123218 (OR: 9.13, 95% CI: 1.15-72.76).
CONCLUSIONS
These preliminary data demonstrated that analyses of SNP in the HSD17B genes might predict the occurrence of side-effects from EMP.
