   Abstract

Associations between polymorphisms in genes (SNPs) involved in the arachidonic acid (AA) pathway, and colorectal adenomas were investigated in a Dutch case control study including 384 cases and 403 polyp-free controls. Twenty-one polymorphisms in seven candidate genes were studied, and a potential modifying effect of fish consumption was considered.

A protective effect on colorectal adenomas was found for the CT genotype of SNP H477H in PPAR{gamma} and the GC genotype of SNP V102V in COX-2 (OR, 0.63; 95%CI, 0.45-0.89 and OR, 0.65; 95%CI, 0.46-0.92 respectively) compared to the homozygote major genotypes. An increase in adenoma risk was observed for the TC genotype of SNP c.2242T>C in COX-2 (OR, 1.47; 95%CI, 1.07-2.00) compared to the TT genotype. Analysis with estimated haplotypes confirmed these associations and revealed three additional associations with COX-2, sPLA2 and 15LOX haplotypes. Fish consumption modified the associations with COX-2 and PPAR{delta} genotypes. For SNP c.-789C>T in PPAR{delta}, the major genotype showed a decrease in adenoma risk for those in the highest tertile of fish consumption (T3), as compared to the lowest tertile (T1) (OR, 0.65; 95%CI, 0.41-1.02). Protective effects were also observed for SNPs V102V and c.2242T>C in COX-2 and high fish intake. The interaction between fish consumption and c.2242T>C was statistically significant, with an OR for the TT genotype and high fish consumption of 0.52 (95%CI, 0.27-1.01) as compared to low fish intake.

These results indicate that SNPs in genes involved in the AA-pathway are associated with colorectal adenoma risk. Part of these associations is modified by fish consumption.

Keywords: polymorphisms; colorectal adenomas; fish consumption; haplotypes; AA-pathway.
