Archived tumor tissue is a useful resource for retrospective studies addressing relationships between genetic polymorphisms and treatment outcomes. However, genotypes determined in tumor and somatic tissues may differ due to cytogenetic and molecular changes associated with malignant transformation and progression. Discordance between germ line and tumor genotypes may be particularly relevant in leukemia because cytogenetic abnormalities are frequent. We compared genotypes determined in DNA extracted from paired pretreatment bone marrow and buccal samples from 80 adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Paired AML and buccal DNA samples were genotyped for polymorphisms (21 single nucleotide polymorphisms and 2 gene deletions) on genes encoding proteins involved in drug metabolism (CYP3A4, CYP2C8, CDA, and GSTP1), oxidative stress mechanisms (CAT, MnSOD, GSTT1, GSTM1, GSTA1, and GPX1), drug transport (MDR1, MRP1, and BCRP), and DNA repair (MGMT, XPD, and XRCC1). Genotypes were determined by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, except GSTM1 and GSTT1, for which deletion genotypes were determined using multiplex PCR. Concordance of genotypes was tested by kappa statistics. kappa statistics for paired AML and buccal DNA samples ranged between 0.94 and 1.00, indicating excellent agreement. The GSTT1 and GSTM1 genotypes were in perfect concordance for the paired samples. Agreement was also excellent for genes at AML chromosome deletion and translocation breakpoints, including MDR1 at 7q21.1 and MRP1 at 16p13.1. Based on these data, genotypes derived from archived AML bone marrow samples were not likely to differ from those from genomic DNA, and archived bone marrow samples may be useful for the conduct of retrospective pharmacogenetic studies.

Oxidative stress might contribute to the occurrence of cancers, including the hematological ones. Various genetic polymorphisms were shown to increase the quantity of reactive oxygen species, a phenomenon that is able to induce mutations and thus promote cancers. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the association between CAT C262T, GPX1 Pro198Leu, MnSOD Ala16Val, GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 Ile105Val gene polymorphisms and acute myeloid leukemia risk, in a case-control study comprising 102 patients and 303 controls. No association was observed between AML and variant genotypes of CAT, MnSOD, GSTM1, and GSTT1 polymorphisms. Our data revealed a statistically significant difference regarding the frequencies of GPX1 Pro198Leu and GSTP1 Ile105Val variant genotypes between AML patients and controls (p < 0.001). Our results showed no association in the distribution of any of the CAT C262T, GPX1 Pro198Leu, GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 polymorphisms regarding age, gender, FAB subtype, cytogenetic risk groups, FLT3 and DNMT3 gene mutations, and overall survival. Our data suggests that the presence of variant allele and genotype of GPX1 Pro198Leu and GSTP1 Ile105Val gene polymorphisms may modulate the risk of developing AML.
