Abstract:
Aim: Cell cycle regulator cyclin D1 (CCND1) is a pivotal regulator for G1/S phase transition, playing a critical part in initiation of carcinogenesis. Triple negative breast cancer comprises a very heterogeneous group of cancer cells, but little is known about what is wrong in the genome of these patients. This study investigated contribution of CCND1 genotype to individual triple negative breast cancer susceptibility. Materials: In all, 2464 native Taiwan subjects consist of 1232 breast cancer cases and 1232 controls were enrolled in a hospital-based, case-control study. CCND1 A870G (rs9344) genotyping was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Risk-stratified analyses correlated genotype and age-related characteristics of breast cancer subgroups. Results: No significant difference was found between patient and control groups in distribution of genotypic and allelic frequencies in CCND1 genotype, yet CCND1 A870G (rs9344) GG genotype was far less prevalent in breast cancer patients younger than 55 years (OR=0.62, 95%CI=0.43-0.89, P=0.0362), with first menarche earlier than 12.2 years (OR=0.61, 95% CI=0.42-0.87, P=0.0241), with menopause earlier than 49.0 years (OR=0.57, 95%CI=0.39-0.82, P=0.0093), or showing triple-negative breast cancer (OR=0.28, 95%CI=0.13-0.62, P=0.0006). Such valuable findings suggest CCND1 A870G (rs9344) as a predictive marker for triple negative breast cancer in Taiwanese women; the authors sincerely hope these help us fight the toughest subtype in clinical management.

Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
