Both diseases are increasing in most countries, and the genetic association between them has not been fully elucidated. The objective of this studywas to assess the association between genetic risk factors of metabolic syndrome orrelated conditions (obesity, hyperlipidaemia, diabetes mellitus type 2) and clinicaloutcome in stage II colorectal cancer patients. Expression levels of several genes relatedto metabolic syndrome and associated alterations were analysed by real-time qPCR intwo equivalent but independent sets of stage II colorectal cancer patients. Using logisticregression models and cross-validation analysis with all tumour samples, we developeda metabolic syndrome-related gene expression profile to predict clinical outcome instage II colorectal cancer patients. The results showed that a gene expression profileconstituted by genes previously related to metabolic syndrome was significantly associated with clinical outcome of stage II colorectal cancer patients. This metabolic profilewas able to identify patients with a low risk and high risk of relapse. Its predictive valuewas validated using an independent set of stage II colorectal cancer patients. The identification of a set of genes related to metabolic syndrome that predict survival inintermediate-stage colorectal cancer patients allows delineation of a high-risk groupthat may benefit from adjuvant therapy and avoid the toxic and unnecessary chemotherapy in patients classified as low risk. Our results also confirm the linkage between.
