Abstract:
The aim of this prospective clinical study is to evaluate the relationship between changes in functional cardiac parameters following anthracycline therapy and carbonyl reductase 3 (CBR3p.V244M) and glutathione S transferase Pi (GSTP1p.I105V) polymorphisms. Seventy patients with normal cardiac function and no history of cardiac disease scheduled to undergo anthracycline chemotherapy were included in the study. The patients' cardiac function was evaluated by gated blood pool scintigraphy and echocardiography before and after chemotherapy, as well as 1 year following therapy. Gene polymorphisms were genotyped in 70 patients using TaqMan probes, validated by DNA sequencing. A deteriorating trend was observed in both systolic and diastolic parameters from GG to AA in CBR3p.V244M polymorphism. Patients with G-allele carriers of GSTP1p.I105V polymorphism were common (60%), with significantly decreased PFR compared to patiens with AA genotype. Variants of CBR3 and GSTP1 enzymes may be associated with changes in short-term functional cardiac parameters.
