Gedetailleerde beschrijving
The objective of this study is to characterize genes associated either with susceptibility or resistance to the development nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in a Chinese population where the incidence of NPC is as high as 50 in 100,000. NPC has been and remains a unique model of human malignancy for understanding a multi-step carcinogenic process involving a ubiquitous virus (Epstein-Barr virus), environmental carcinogens, and an NPC susceptibility gene. Up to 95% of all NPC patients at early or late stage of the disease have IgA antibodies directed to the EBV virus VCA (viral capsid antigen). Environmental factors have also been implicated as significant risk factors in the development of NPC. In addition, certain alleles in HLA genes have shown associations with NPC, perhaps in concert with a family of T-cell receptor genes (TCR). Other data suggest that a microsatellite marker on Chromosome 6 may be associated with an NPC-disease associated gene.
We will use a "triad" approach to attempt to dissociate genetic from environmental and viral associations of NPC incidence. Blood samples will be collected from volunteers (probands) and family members (spouse and child and/or parent of patient) at two sites in Guangxi Province, China: the Cancer Research and Control Institute in Wuzhou City; and the Cang Wu County Cancer Hospital, located about 20 miles from Wuzhou. All cases will be EBV/IgA/VCA positive. These triad of samples will provide both control and haplotypic information on cases and controls. A database of pertinent clinical and family information will be created from a questionnaire filled in by hospital staff interviewers. Blood will be separated into plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Plasma will be tested at the Wuzhou Center for EBV/IgA/VCA. The PBMCs will be viably frozen and transported to the LGD at NCI/FCRDC, where they will be transformed into lymphoblastoid cell lines for extraction of DNA. At the LGD the DNAs will be screened for informative polymorphisms in candidate genes by DNA genotyping methods. Association analyses will be performed to detect linkages between informative polymorphisms in candidate genes by DNA genotyping methods. Association analyses will be performed to detect linkages between informative polymorphisms and clinical and family data. If a marker associated with development of NC is found, there are potential applications in diagnostics and therapy. Further, identification of allelic polymorphisms in genes with a role in NPC progression would offer definitive ties of such genes to the carcinogenic process.
Following this study, the samples will be maintained in our repository and curated through our central Laboratory database. Loss or destruction of these samples wil be recorded in our database and cannot impact the study participants in any way. We understand that studies subsequent to the completion of this protocol will require additional OHSR/IRB approval prior to commencement.
