RESUMO

Graves´s disease and differentiated thyroid cancer are multifactorial diseases with environmental and genetic interactions. Cigarette smoking is a well-recognized risk factor for Graves? disease and, particularly, for Graves? ophthalmopathy. Conversely, epidemiologic studies have consistently reported a reduced risk of differentiated thyroid cancer in tobacco consumers. Inheritance of germline polymorphisms genes related with metabolizing and detoxification of xenobioticos, besides genes involved in major DNA repair/apoptosis pathways, might have an important role in the susceptibility to these diseases. To assess the influence of the GST, CYP and TP53 gene polymorphisms in the risk of Graves disease and the CYP1A1 role in thyroid tumorigenesis, we used a PCR strategy to genotype for GSTT1, GSTM1, GSTP1, CYP1A1 and codon 72 of TP53 a group of 400 Graves? disease patients compared to 574 control individuals with similar environmental exposure features and 248 patients with thyroid nodules and 277 controls with similar ethnic backgrounds. DNA was extracted from a blood sample and submitted to PCR-RFLP for CYP1A1, GSTP1 and 72TP53 genes and PCR-duplex GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes assays. GSTM1 and GSTT1 genotypes were equally distributed in Graves´ disease and controls. However, GSTP1 variants (p<0.0001), CYP1A1 variants (p<0.0033), and Pro/ProTP53 (p<0.0035) appeared more frequently in Graves? disease than in controls. A multivariate analysis indicated that cigarette smoking and the inheritance of GSTP1 variants, CYP1A1 variants and Pro/ProTP53 were important risk factors of risk for Graves? disease. Among the thyroid nodules, the wild-type CYP1A1 m1 genotype was more frequent in papillary carcinomas patients (74.26%) than in the control population (62.45%) (p= 0.0147) indicating that the variants of these genes reduce the risk for this cancer (OR=0.564; 95% IC= 0.357 to 0.894). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed an inverse correlation between cigarette smoking and CYP1A1 germline inheritance and the susceptibility to papillary carcinomas. We concluded that GSTP1, CYP1A1 and TP53 germline polymorphisms may be associated with smoking-related Graves? disease susceptibility and CYP1A1 genotype might be associated to the reported reduced risk to papillary carcinomas among smokers
