Late gastrointestinal and genitourinary toxicities were assessed for at least two years after radiotherapy in 413 patients according to CTCAEvs3 scores. Codominant genotypic tests and haplotypic analyses were undertaken to evaluate the correlation between TGF尾1 SNPs rs1800469, rs1800470 and rs1800472 and radio-induced toxicity.
Neither the SNPs nor the haplotypes were found to be associated with the risk of late toxicity.
We were able to exclude up to a 2-fold increase in the risk of developing late gastrointestinal and genitourinary radio-induced toxicity due to the TGF尾1 SNPs rs1800469 and rs1800470, as well as the two most frequent TGF尾1 haplotypes.
