Experimental and epidemiologic studies have suggested that high calcium intake is associated with decreased colon cancer risk. Yet very limited data are available for candidate genes in the calcium/vitamin D pathway and colon cancer risk. To address this, we evaluated whether calcium sensing receptor(CASR) single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNP) are associated with colon cancer risk. We also examined interactions between CASR and calcium and vitamin D intake, and previously genotyped vitamin D-related genes. We conducted a large multi-center population-based case-control study of 1,600 cases and 1,949 controls. Seventeen tagging SNPs for CASR were selected from common SNPs (minor allele frequency ≥5%) based on resequencing data. Haplotypes were estimated and evaluated using HaploStats. We did not observe an association between any CASR genotypes or haplotypes and colon cancer risk overall. However, when stratified by anatomic site, statistically significant associations were seen with risk of proximal colon cancer (rs10934578 TT: OR 1.35, 95%CI 1.01-1.81; rs12485716 AG/AA: OR 0.84, 95%CI 0.71-1.00; rs4678174 CT/CC: OR 0.83, 95%CI 0.70-0.98; rs2270916 CC: OR 0.43, 95%CI 0.19-0.97). Concordantly, we observed a suggested association for a CASR haplotype (rs4678174, rs2270916) with risk of proximal colon cancer (global p-value=0.08). We did not observe any meaningful gene-environment (calcium and vitamin D) or gene-gene (CYP24A1, CYP27B1, and VDR) interactions with CASR genotypes and colon cancer risk. Our study does not provide evidence for an overall association between CASR SNPs and colon cancer; however, results suggest a possible role of CASR on proximal colon cancer and subsite differences are consistent with known calcium biology. Nonetheless, these findings require confirmation.
