Brief summary

Transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7), a magnesium (Mg) -regulated chanzyme possessing both ion channel and kinase activities, has a much stronger affinity to Mg2+ than calcium (Ca)2+. We previously reported that individuals with the TRPM7 GA/AA genotype and consumed diets high in Ca:Mg ratio had an increased risk of colorectal polyps. The TRPM7 gene was also observed to possess driver mutations that contribute to developing multiple cancers. However, the molecular mechanism remains unclear. To identify if the gut microbiota plays a role in this association, we will investigate whether optimizing Ca:Mg intake ratios to 2.3 altered the abundance of the microbes (e.g. associated with TRPM7 genotype and the risk of metachronous polyps) at the genus level in at least one sample type among stool, swab and tissue in a double-blind 2x2 factorial (TRPM7 genotype and Ca:Mg ratios) randomized trial (Personalized Prevention of Colorectal Cancer Trial, NCT01105169).

Recruitment details

Participants, aged 40-85 y, with colorectal polyp or polyp-free individuals with high risk of colorectal cancer and had a calcium intake of ≥700 and \<2000 mg/d, and their calcium-to-magnesium intake ratio was \>2.6 (based on baseline two 24-hour dietary recalls) and have blood samples were recruited from Vanderbilt patient sources from March 11, 2011 to Jan 30, 2016 .
