No. of bitstreams: 1 438120.pdf: 2337312 bytes, checksum: 3bcbd6b2d333489c6e0cefb866d0b73c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-03-30 / Ewing s sarcoma was first described by James Ewing in 1921 and it is the second most common bone tumor in children and young adults. Both chromosomal breakage and translocation occur in this sarcoma. The EWS gene is localized in chromosome 22 and is involved in this translocation. However, little is known about this gene breaking region and what sequences could be involved in higher chromosomal break susceptibility. In this study we aimed to investigate three SNPs in the EWS gene breaking region in a healthy subjects population and in Ewing s sarcoma patients. Genotyping was performed by TaqMan? assay for allelic discrimination using Real-Time PCR System. We conducted analysis of allelic and genotypic frequencies, as well as association and transmission disequilibrium tests. According to our results, the control group showed similar and different genotypes distribution of all SNPs when compared to other populations studied by different projects, which shows how important it is to know the frequencies of our population. To test the hypothesis that some SNP, SNParrangement or haplotype could influence in the susceptibility to develop Ewing s sarcoma, we compared affected with non-affected individuals using association studies. The results showed one significant difference: a higher presence of homozygote T-rs4820804 in Ewing s Sarcoma patients. Transmission Disequilibrium Test (TDT) was performed to compare data from Ewing s Sarcoma patients and from their families but no statistically significant result was found. In conclusion, we find that the TT-rs4820804 EWS genotype can be associate with Ewing s sarcoma and that the rs4820804 SNP can be a candidate to understand the EWS breakage susceptibility. / O sarcoma de Ewing foi primeiramente descrito por James Ewing em 1921 e ? o segundo tumor ?sseo mais frequente em crian?as, adolescente e adultos jovens. Neste sarcoma, ? comum ocorrer a quebra e a transloca??o cromoss?mica. Dentre os genes envolvidos nesta transloca??o est? o gene EWS, localizado no cromossomo 22. Entretanto, pouco se sabe a respeito da regi?o de quebra deste gene e quais sequ?ncias poderiam levar a uma maior susceptibilidade a quebra cromoss?mica. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar tr?s polimorfismos de base ?nica (SNPs) presentes na regi?o de quebra do gene EWS, em uma popula??o de indiv?duos saud?veis e em pacientes afetados pelo Sarcoma de Ewing. A genotipagem para os SNPs selecionados foi realizada usando TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assay pelo sistema de PCR em tempo real. N?s realizamos an?lises de frequ?ncias al?licas e genot?picas, assim como um estudo de associa??o e de desequil?brio de transmiss?o. A compara??o das frequ?ncias al?licas e genot?picas entre as popula??es deste estudo e entre popula??es de projetos j? publicados mostrou particularidades entre as popula??es, revelando a import?ncia de se conhecer tais frequ?ncias na popula??o de estudo. Para testar a hip?tese de que algum SNP, hapl?tipo ou combina??o espec?fica de SNPs poderia influenciar na susceptibilidade ao Sarcoma de Ewing, comparamos afetados com n?o-afetados realizando estudos de associa??o cujos resultados mostraram uma ?nica diferen?a significativa: a maior incid?ncia no gen?tipo TT-rs4820804 entre os afetados pelo Sarcoma de Ewing. O Teste de Desequil?brio de Transmiss?o (TDT) comparou os dados dos pacientes afetados e os dados de seus familiares, mas nenhum resultado significativo foi encontrado. Em conclus?o, o gen?tipo TT-rs4820804 pode estar associado ao Sarcoma de Ewing e o SNP rs4820804 pode ser candidato para aux?lio do entendimento da susceptibilidade de quebra do gene EWS.

Made available in DSpace on 2015-04-14T14:51:17Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 438127.pdf: 909961 bytes, checksum: 5f9f40febc8291b363b759367f823d98 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-03-30 / In this study the SNPs rs640098, rs491714, rs611307 into the FLI1 gene were genotyped in a sample of 201 subjects from southern Brazilian population, in 24 Ewing s sarcoma patients (geographically matched with control group) and 54 of their family members, including parents and siblings. We performed association studies comparing genotypic frequencies of rs640098, rs491714, rs611307 into the FLI1 gene, and all possible genotype combinations between Ewing s Sarcoma patients and control group. Of the three SNPs investigated individually, only one of them showed a significant result when compared to the control group; our non-combined analysis revealed a significantly higher presence of homozygote A-rs497714 among Ewing s Sarcoma patients (p=0.0065; Chi square Test). In all other tested clusters, we always noticed a higher rate of homozygote A-rs497714 among Ewing s Sarcoma patients independent of the other SNP-arrangements and/or haplotype combinations. In addition, we performed transmission disequilibrium tests comparing data from Ewing s Sarcoma patients and from their families (parents and siblings), but no statistically significant result was found. In conclusion, the present study provides evidence statistically founded that the AA-rs497714 FLI1 genotype can associated with Ewing's sarcoma. And that this polymorphism can be clinically useful as a potential genetic marker to the prognostic of risk to develop this cancer or to provide insights into FLI1 chromosome breakage context of tumorigenesis. / Neste estudo, os SNPs rs640098, rs491714, rs611307 no gene FLI1 foram genotipados em uma amostra de 201 indiv?duos da popula??o do sul do Brasil, e em 24 pacientes portadores de Sarcoma Ewing (geograficamente comparado com grupo controle) e 54 de seus familiares, incluindo pais e irm?os. Realizamos estudos de associa??o, comparando as freq??ncias genot?picas do rs640098 e rs491714 e rs611307 no gene FLI1, e todas as combina??es poss?veis entre o gen?tipo de pacientes Sarcoma de Ewing e grupo controle. Dos tr?s SNPs investigados individualmente, apenas um deles apresentou um resultado significativo quando comparado com o grupo controle; nossa an?lise n?o-combinada revelou uma presen?a significativamente maior de homozigoto A-rs497714 entre os pacientes de Sarcoma Ewing (p = 0,0065; Chi quadrado). Em todos os outros grupos testados, foi notada uma maior taxa de homozigoto A-rs497714 entre os pacientes com Sarcoma de Ewing, independentemente dos outros arranjos e / ou combina??es de SNP e hapl?tipos. Al?m disso, foram realizados testes de desequil?brio de transmiss?o, comparando dados de pacientes portadores de Sarcoma de Ewing e de suas fam?lias (pais e irm?os), mas nenhum resultado estatisticamente significativo foi encontrado. Em conclus?o, o presente estudo fornece evid?ncias estatisticamente fundada de que o gen?tipo AA-rs497714 FLI1 pode associado ao sarcoma de Ewing. E que este polimorfismo pode ser clinicamente ?til como um potencial marcador gen?tico para o progn?stico de risco para desenvolver este c?ncer ou para fornecer insights no contexto de quebras cromoss?micas de tumorig?nese no gene FLI1.
