The role of pharmacogenetics in chemotherapy response in colon carcinoma is controversial. We studied the value of known SNPs in genes involved in 5-FU metabolism as biomarkers of chemotherapy response in patients with stage III colon carcinoma.DNA was isolated from normal colonic tissue of 60 patients with stage III colon carcinoma treated adjuvantly with 5-FU combined with leucovorin. The tested SNPs were validated SNPs on the OPRT, TYMS and DPYD genes and a synonymous SNP on the TYMP gene. Real-time PCR, sequencing and RFLP were used for genotyping.None of the studied genotypes was associated with any of the tumor or patient characteristics. Moreover, none of the genotypes studied had effect on patient survival.In conclusion, the tested SNPs are not biomarkers of chemotherapy response in our stage III colon cancer patients group.
