PG - 375-82 LID - 10.1038/tpj.2010.45 [doi] AB - Estrogen replacement therapy in women has shown a protective effect on the development of colonic carcinomas. Gender-related differences in the development of colonic carcinomas have also been reported. Estrogen receptor-beta (ERbeta) is expressed in colon carcinomas and has shown prognostic value in colon cancer patients. This study investigated an ERbeta 3' non-coding polymorphism associated with transcriptional activity to determine clinical outcome in patients with metastatic colon cancer. Genomic DNA from 318 metastatic colon cancer patients, 177 males and 141 females, were collected from 1992 to 2003. These patients were analyzed for CA repeat polymorphism of the ERbeta gene. Gender-related survival differences were associated with an ERbeta (CA)n repeat polymorphism (P for interaction=0.003, the likelihood ratio test). Female patients with any short<22 (CA)n repeat alleles had shorter overall survival (OS) compared with female patients who had both long>/=22 (CA)n repeat alleles. In the male patients, the opposite OS difference was found. This study supports the role of an ERbeta (CA)n repeat polymorphism as a prognostic marker in metastatic colon cancer; however, this prognostic factor had opposite implications based on gender.
