Genetic Variation in CCL5 Signaling Genes and Triple Negative Breast Cancer: Susceptibility and Prognosis Implications by Jingxuan Shan (4711089)

“…We characterized variants in <i>CCL5</i> and that of six other CCL5 signaling genes (<i>CCND1, ZMIZ1, CASP8, NOTCH2, MAP3K21, and HS6ST3</i>) among 1,082 unrelated Tunisian subjects (544 BC patients, including 196 TNBC, and 538 healthy controls), assessed the association of the variants with BC-specific overall survival (OVS) and progression-free survival (PFS), and correlated CCL5 mRNA and serum levels with <i>CCL5</i> genotypes. We found a highly significant association between the <b><i>CCND1</i></b><b> </b><b>rs614367-TT</b> genotype (OR = 5.14; <i>P</i> = 0.004) and TNBC risk, and identified a significant association between the <b>rs614367-T</b> allele and decreased PFS in TNBC. …”
