Abstract
The multidrug resistance-1 (MDR1) gene encodes a pump that prevents potentially carcinogenic substances from crossing the blood-brain barrier. We compare adult glioma cases and controls for the C3435T polymorphism that has been associated with reduced MDR1 expression. Adult glioma in the San Francisco Bay area and population-based controls were identified between 1991-1994 and 1997-1999. Genotyped cases (n = 458) and controls (n = 528) were compared using logistic regression controlling for age, gender and ethnicity, with later stratification by ethnicity, gender and histology. With CC as the referent, the TT genotype was nonsignificantly less frequent among cases compared to controls (OR, 0.87; 95% CI: 0.6, 1.2). After stratification, only male glioblastoma was associated with TT genotype (OR, 0.51; 95% CI: 0.3, 1.0). Although the C3435T polymorphism does not appear to be associated with other types of glioma, we cannot rule out that this MDR1 polymorphism may be associated with glioblastoma among men.Keywords
