The aim of the present study was to investigate associations between Pro12AIa and C161T polymorphisms in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma) gene and colorectal cancer (CRC risk. We recruited 301 newly diagnosed CRC patients and 291 healthy control subjects at the Madras Cancer Institute in Chennai, India, from 1999 to 2001. Genotypes of the Pro12AIa and C161T polymorphisms were determined using the PCR-RFLP method. After adjustment for age, sex, smoking habit, family history and family income, an increased risk of CRC was observed for the C/T + T/T genotype compared to the C/C genotype of the C161T polymorphism (odds ratio = 1.61, 95% confidence interval: 1.10-2.36), whereas no significant association was found for Pro12AIa (odds ratio = 1.06, 95% confidence interval: 0.70-1.61). Analysis with estimated haplotypes showed a significant difference in haplotype frequencies between cases and controls (chi(2) = 11.62, P = 0.009, d.f. = 3). The relationship between the two polymorphisms and CRC risk was not significantly modified by dietary intake of fish. Although the biological mechanisms of the observed association remain to be elucidated, our findings suggest that the C161T polymorphism of the PPAR-gamma gene is related to risk of CRC. Further research is needed to investigate functional implications of polymorphisms of the PPAR-gamma gene in CRC development.
