G-protein coupled receptor GPR30 has been demonstrated to mediate estrogenic effects on essential features of human breast cancer cells. Polymorphisms in GPR30 gene might therefore affect breast cancer susceptibility or tumor characteristics. This is the first study examining allele and genotype frequencies of GPR30 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in breast cancer patients. A total of 257 sporadic breast cancer cases and 247 age-matched controls were genotyped for three GPR30 polymorphisms by means of allele-specific tetra-primer PCR. Comparison of the breast cancer case and the control group with regard to the SNP allele, genotype and haplotype frequencies did not show significant differences. In contrast, the GPR30 SNPs tested were significantly associated with tumor size, histological grading, nodal status and progesterone receptor (PR) status. The A allele of SNP rs3808351 was significantly less frequent in patients with large or G3 tumors, T allele of SNP rs11544331 less frequently occurred in patients with positive nodal status, suggesting that both SNPs might exert protective effects regarding aggressive breast cancer entities. Both homozygous GG genotype of promoter SNP rs3808350 and T allele of missense SNP rs11544331 were inversely associated with PR-negativity, suggesting that they might exert protective effects regarding development of PR-negative cancer. In conclusion, the results of this study support the important role of GPR30 in breast cancer and encourage functional studies on the molecular mechanisms underlying the association of GPR30 polymorphisms with PR status and tumor growth.
