Recent evidence has suggested that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located at 5p15.33 contribute to susceptibilities for several cancer types, including prostate cancer. To determine whether SNP rs402710 in this region plays a role in prostate cancer, we analyzed these associations in a Chinese population; 251 prostate cancer patients and 273 control subjects were included in this case-control study. Genotypes were determined by PCR-RFLP. We found that subjects carrying the CC homozygote had a decreased risk for prostrate cancer compared to those carrying TT/TC genotypes (odds ratio (OR) = 0.69, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.48-0.98, P = 0.038). Compared with the TT homozygote, subjects carrying the CC homozygote also had a decreased risk for prostate cancer (OR = 0.71, 95%CI = 0.51-0.99, P = 0.043). We conclude that rs402710 polymorphisms in the 5p15.33 region are associated with prostate cancer risk in the Chinese population. Further investigations with large cohorts and done worldwide are warranted to determine whether our findings are detected in other populations.  相似文献

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are new prominent gene expression regulators that have critical roles in neural development by regulating synaptic functions, and miRNA biogenesis may play an important role in psychiatric disorders. Despite emerging evidences demonstrating that single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the miRNA processing genes were associated with cancer and cardiovascular disorders, evidences about association between variants of the genes and depression are lacking. This study aims to find the association between miRNA processing gene variants and depression. We genotyped three polymorphisms from three miRNA processing genes in a case-control study including 314 patients and 252 matched healthy controls. The high-resolution melting method was used to genotype the three loci. Frequencies of genotypes and alleles showed significant difference between patients with depression and healthy controls in DGCR8 rs3757 and AGO1 rs636832. An allele frequency was significantly higher in rs3757 and lower in rs636832, respectively. Variant allele of DGCR8 rs3757 was associated with increased risk of suicidal tendency and improvement response to antidepressant treatment, whereas the variant of AGO1 rs636832 showed decreased risk of suicidal tendency, suicidal behavior, and recurrence. Besides allele frequency showed significant difference when compared patients with remission to controls, no significant differences were found in GEMIN4 rs7813 between patients and healthy controls. DGCR8 rs3757 and AGO1 rs636832 were found to have significant association with depression, and GEMIN4 rs7813 did not affect susceptibility to depression. These observations suggested that miRNA processing polymorphisms may affect depression risk and treatment.  相似文献

The epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) was originally identified as a tumor associated antigen, attributable to its high expression on rapidly proliferating tumors of epithelial origin. EpCAM plays vital roles in carcinogenesis, tumor progression and metastasis in most tumors. A non-synonymous polymorphism (rs1126497 C/T) was found in exon 3 of EpCAM, which cause a transition from 115 Met to 115 Thr. Another polymorphism (rs1421 A/G) in the 3'UTR causes loss of has-miR-1183 binding. We performed a multiple independent case-control analysis to assess the association between EpCAM genotypes and cervical cancer risk. Genotyping a total of 518 patients with cervical cancer and 723 control subjects in a Chinese population, we observed that the variant EpCAM genotypes (rs1126497 CT, and TT) were associated with substantially increased risk of cervical cancer. Compared with the rs1126497 CC genotype, CT genotype had a significantly increased risk of cervical cancer (Crude OR = 1.70; 95% CI = 1.33-2.20; adjusted OR = 1.72; 95% CI = 1.33-2.22), the TT carriers had a further increased risk of cervical cancer (Crude OR = 1.94; 95% CI = 1.01-3.72; adjusted OR = 1.96; 95%CI = 1.01-3.81), and there was a trend for an allele dose effect on risk of cervical cancer (P < 0.001). Moreover, the allele T increases the risk for invasive disease or metastatic disease, compared with C allele. However, there exists no significant difference in genotype frequencies of rs1421 A/G site between cases and controls (P = 0.798). These findings suggest that rs1126497 C/T polymorphism in EpCAM may be a genetic modifier for developing cervical cancer.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to analyse the frequency and type of mutations in the coding region of androgen receptor (AR) and to determine the role of polymorphisms in the intron 1 of ERalpha, exon 5 of ERbeta, intron 7 of progesterone, exon 7 of the aromatase (CYP19) and exon 9 of VDR genes in the risk of prostate cancer. PCR-RFLP analysis of all above the genes was on 100 prostate cancer patients and an equal number of matching controls. The study also included PCR-SSCP analyses of exons 2-8 of AR gene. The genotype containing -/- allele of ERalpha gene was statistically significant for the risk of prostate cancer pose (OR, 2.70; 95% CI, 1.08-6.70, P = 0.032) Rr genotype of ERbeta gene also have a higher risk (OR, 1.65; 95% CI, 0.52-5.23) for prostate cancer. The Cys allele of CYP19 gene was also associated with statistically significant increased risk of prostate cancer (OR; 2.28, 95% CI, 1.20-4.35, P = 0.012). tt genotype of codon 352 of VDR gene showed an OR of 0.43 for (95% CI, 0.13-1.39) and an OR for Tt genotype was 0.65 (95% CI, 0.36-1.16). Taken together, the results showed that in North Indian population, ERalpha and CYP19 genes may be playing a role in the risk of prostate cancer.  相似文献

To investigate the involvement of the CYP17, SRD5A2, CYP1B1, and CYP2D6 variants with prostate cancer, a case-control study of 100 patients and an equal number of age-matched control men was conducted. There appears to be a nonsignificant increase with risk of prostate cancer for individuals carrying one copy of the CYP17 A2 allele (OR, 1.80; 95% CI, 0.99-3.29, P=0.05). The risk was increased in individuals having two A2 alleles (OR; 2.81, 95% CI, 1.06-7.40, P=0.03). Compared with men having the VV genotype of SRD5A2 gene, there was no significant association between the VL genotype and the risk of prostate cancer (OR; 0.54, 95% CI; 0.29-1.03, P=0.06). There was no difference in the occurrence of the genotype LL between controls and prostate cancer patients (OR; 0.90, 95% CI; 0.43-1.89, P=0.79). There was a nonsignificant increased risk of prostate cancer for individuals carrying the CYP1B1Leu/Val genotype (OR, 1.70, 95% CI, 0.91-3.17, P =0.09), which was increased in those having the Val/Val allele (OR, 3.38; 95% CI, 1.13-10.07, P=0.02). Relative to men homozygous for the wild-type allele in CYP2D6 gene, those heterozygous for the B allele had an odds ratio of 1.78 (95% CI, 0.76-4.17, P=0.18) for patients, and for homozygous individuals, it was 1.95 (0.55-6.93, P=0.30). These observations have suggested that the CYP17 A2/A2, CYP1B1 Val/Val, and CYP2D6 genotypes may be associated with an altered risk of prostate cancer, while the CYP2D6 and SRD5A2 V89L polymorphism have no association with its risk in the North Indian population.  相似文献

Colorectal cancer represents a complex disease where susceptibility may be influenced by genetic polymorphisms in the DNA repair system. In the present study we investigated the role of nine single nucleotide polymorphisms in eight DNA repair genes on the risk of colorectal cancer in a hospital-based case-control population (532 cases and 532 sex- and age-matched controls). Data analysis showed that the variant allele homozygotes for the Asn148Glu polymorphism in the APE1 gene were at a statistically non-significant increased risk of colorectal cancer. The risk was more pronounced for colon cancer (odds ratio, OR: 1.50; 95% confidence interval, CI: 1.01-2.22; p=0.05). The data stratification showed increased risk of colorectal cancer in the age group 64-86 years in both individuals heterozygous (OR: 1.79; 95% CI: 1.04-3.07; p=0.04) and homozygous (OR: 2.57; 95% CI: 1.30-5.06; p=0.007) for the variant allele of the APE1 Asn148Glu polymorphism. Smokers homozygous for the variant allele of the hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism showed increased risk of colorectal cancer (OR: 4.17; 95% CI: 1.17-15.54; p=0.03). The analysis of binary genotype combinations showed increased colorectal cancer risk in individuals simultaneously homozygous for the variant alleles of APE1 Asn148Glu and hOGG1 Ser326Cys (OR: 6.37; 95% CI: 1.40-29.02; p=0.02). Considering the subtle effect of the DNA repair polymorphisms on the risk of colorectal cancer, exploration of gene-gene and gene-environmental interactions with a large sample size with sufficient statistical power are recommended.  相似文献

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in pre-miRNAs may alter microRNA (miRNA) expression levels or processing and contribute to susceptibility to a wide range of diseases. We investigated the correlation between four SNPs (rs11614913, rs3746444, rs2910164, and rs229283) in pre-miRNAs and the risk of asthma in 220 asthma patients and 540 controls using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism methodology and DNA-sequencing. There were significant differences in the genotype and allelic distribution of rs2910164G/C and rs2292832C/T polymorphisms among cases and controls. The CC genotype and C allele of rs2910164G/C were significantly associated with a decreased risk of asthma (CC vs. GG, odds ratio [OR]?= 0.51, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.31-0.82; C vs. G, OR = 0.74, 95% CI: 0.59-0.93). Similarly, the TT genotype and T allele of rs2292832C/T were significantly associated with a decreased risk of asthma (TT vs. CC, OR = 0.56, 95% CI: 0.33-0.95; T vs. C, OR = 0.71, 95% CI: 0.53-0.95). However, no significant association between the other two polymorphisms (i.e., rs11614913C/T and rs3746444C/T) and the risk of asthma was observed. Our data indicate that rs2910164G/C and rs2292832C/T may play a role in the development of asthma.  相似文献

The C-X-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CXCR5) is one of the principal regulators for targeting T cells, B cells and dendritic cells into secondary lymphoid organs. Polymorphism studies of CXCR5 gene remain extremely scarce. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of polymorphisms in the CXCR5 gene on the development of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in the Chinese population. Four polymorphisms in CXCR5 gene, rs148351692C/G, rs6421571C/T, rs80202369G/A and rs78440425G/A, were tested by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism in 404 NHL cases and 456 age-matched healthy controls. Data were analyzed using the χ(2) test. Results showed that individuals with the rs6421571 CT, rs6421571 TT and rs80202369 AA genotype had significantly increased susceptibility to NHL [Odd ratio (OR) = 1.41, 95 % confidence interval (CI): 1.04-1.92, p = 0.028; OR = 2.30, 95 % CI: 1.44-3.65, p < 0.001; and OR = 3.24, 95 % CI: 1.26-8.32, p = 0.010, respectively]. When analyzing the haplotypes of these polymorphisms, the prevalence of the TGG (rs6421571, rs80202369, and rs78440425) haplotype was significantly higher in NHL cases than in controls (OR = 1.59, 95 % CI: 1.25-2.03, p < 0.001). In addition, numbers of rs6421571 TT genotype and T allele were significantly increased in NHL patients with high Ann Arbor stages (p < 0.03) or NHL with B cell subtype (p < 0.02). These data indicate that CXCR5 gene polymorphisms may be new risk factors for NHL. The finding that the adjacent SNPs, rs6421571C/T and rs80202369G/A, are both associated with NHL suggests that the 87 bp region carrying these 2 polymorphisms may have important functional significance.  相似文献

Polymorphic variants in genes involved in one-carbon metabolism, in particular of dietary folate, may modulate the risk for colorectal cancer through aberrant DNA-methylation and altered nucleotide synthesis and repair. In the present study, we have assessed the association of six polymorphisms and relative haplotypes in the MTHFR gene (rs1801133 and rs1801131) and in the MTRR gene (rs1801394, rs1532268, rs162036, and rs10380) with the risk for colorectal cancer in 666 patients and 1377 controls from the Czech Republic. We found that the 677 C>T polymorphism in the MTHFR gene significantly decreased the risk for colorectal cancer in homozygous carriers of the variant allele (OR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.39-0.87). Also, we noted a significantly different distribution of genotypes between cases and controls for the 66A>G polymorphism in the MTRR gene. In particular, homozygous carriers of the G-containing allele of this polymorphism were at an increased risk for colorectal cancer (OR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.04-1.85). Haplotype analysis of the two MTHFR polymorphisms showed a moderate difference in the distribution of the TA haplotype between cases and controls. In comparison to the most common haplotype (CA), the TA haplotype was associated with a decreased risk for colorectal cancer (OR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.71-0.99). No difference in the distribution between cases and controls was observed for the haplotypes based on the four polymorphisms in the MTRR gene. The present study suggests that the 677TT genotype and the TA haplotype in the MTHFR gene may also have a role in colorectal cancer risk in the Czech population, indicating the importance of genes involved in folate metabolism with respect to cancer risk. For MTRR, additional studies on larger populations are needed to clarify the possible role of variation in this gene in colorectal carcinogenesis.  相似文献

The current study aimed to examine the impact of POLR2E rs1046040 and rs3787016 polymorphisms on prostate cancer (PCa) risk in a sample of southeast Iranian population. The present case-control study was performed on 178 patients with PCa and 180 benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Genotyping of the variants was done by mismatch PCR-RFLP. The findings showed that the rs3787016 C?>?T variant significantly increased the risk of PCa in codominant (OR?=?1.84, 95% CI?=?1.12-3.03, P?=?0.018, CT vs CC), dominant (OR?=?1.88, 95% CI?=?1.63-3.05, P?=?0.011, CT?+?TT vas CC) and allele (OR?=?1.77, 95% CI?=?1.52-2.72, P?=?0.010, T vs C) inheritance model. Regarding rs1046040 C?>?T polymorphism, the findings revealed that the CT genotype significantly increased the risk of PCa compared to the CC genotype (OR?=?1.60, 95% CI?=?1.03-2.49, P?=?0.043). Furthermore, rs3787016 CT/rs1046040?CC as well as rs3787016 CT/rs1046040 CT increased the risk of PCa compared to the CC/CC genotype (p?=?0.029 and p?=?0.014, respectively). Haplotype analysis proposed that rs3787016 T/rs1046040 C significantly increased the risk of PCa compared to C/C (p?=?0.037). No significant association was observed between POLR2E variants and clinicopathological characteristics of PCa patients. In conclusion, the findings propose that POLR2E variants may be a risk factor for susceptibility to PCa in a sample of Iranian population.  相似文献

BackgroundInterleukin-16 (IL-16), a pleiotropic cytokine, plays a fundamental role in inflammatory diseases. This study investigates the association between IL-16 polymorphisms and the risk of knee osteoarthritis (OA) in a Chinese population.MethodsThe IL-16 rs11556218, rs4072111, and rs4778889 polymorphisms were determined in 150 knee OA cases and 147 healthy controls through polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism.ResultsThe results suggested that the variants in IL-16 gene rs11556218 site were associated with a decreased knee OA risk after adjusting for age, sex, BMI, and smoking and drinking status (TG vs. TT: OR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.53–0.89; P = 0.006; GG vs. TT: OR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.45–0.90; P = 0.042; dominant model: OR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.29–0.87; P = 0.002; G vs. T allele: OR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.66–0.90; P = 0.003). Similarly, subjects bearing the rs4072111 variant genotypes and alleles also had a lower susceptibility to knee OA compared with those bearing the wild-type (CT vs. CC: OR, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.53–0.83; P = 0.002; TT vs. CC: OR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.40–0.82; P = 0.027; dominant model: OR, 0.65; 95%, CI 0.52–0.80; P <0.001; T vs. C allele: OR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.58–0.81; P <0.001). Further, the C allele and the combined genotype (CC+CT) of rs4778889 were associated with a slightly decreased risk of knee OA. In addition, we found two high-risk haplotypes: TTT (OR, 3.70) and GCC (OR, 6.22). Finally, serum IL-16 levels of knee OA patients were significantly higher than those of controls (P = 0.001).ConclusionsDespite the small sample size, this is the first study suggesting IL-16 gene polymorphisms to be associated with the risk of knee OA.  相似文献

Mitogen/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase-5 (MEK5), which belongs to a network of mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways, play a pivotal role in carcinogenesis. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether variants in the MEK5 gene promoter were involved in susceptivity of individuals to sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC). In the present hospital-based case-control study of 737 patients with sporadic CRC and 703 healthy control subjects in a southern Chinese population, the two polymorphisms of MEK5 promoter (i.e., rs7172582C>T and rs3743354T>C) were genotyped by TaqMan assay. There were significant differences between cases and controls in the genotype and allele distribution of the MEK5 gene rs3743354T>C polymorphism. The rs3743354 CC genotype was associated with a significantly decreased risk of CRC when compared with the TT genotype (adjusted odds ratios [ORs]=0.43; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.24-0.77). Compared to the T allele, a significant correlation was detected between the presence of the C allele and decreased risk of CRC (adjusted OR=0.79; 95% CI, 0.61-0.94). The decreased risk of CRC associated with rs3743354 variant genotypes (i.e., CT+CC) was found in the smoker subgroup (adjusted OR=0.63; 95% CI=0.45-0.88). Further, environmental factors, including smoking and drinking, interacted with rs3743354C variant genotypes to reduce CRC risk. Western blot analysis showed that the levels of MEK5 protein in sporadic CRC neoplastic tissues and adjacent normal colorectal epithelium tissues were lower in the carriers of rs3743354 CC genotypes than that in those with rs3743354 TT genotypes or those with rs3743354 TC genotypes. However, no significant association was found between the rs7172582C>T polymorphism and risk of CRC. These data indicate that the rs3743354 polymorphism in the MEK5 promoter may affect the risk of developing CRC.  相似文献

Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is critical in the recognition of Gram-negative bacteria serving as a key immune system effector. Recently, a number of case-control studies were conducted to investigate the association between TLR4 gene polymorphism and cancer risk, especially Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile polymorphisms. However, published data were still conflicting. In this paper, we summarized 9463 cancer cases and 10,825 controls from 22 studies and attempted to assess the susceptibility of TLR4 gene polymorphism to cancers by a synthetical meta-analysis. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated to assess the relationship. Our results suggested that Asp299Gly represented a risk factor on cancers in digestive system (G allele versus A allele, OR=1.64, 95% CI: 1.02-2.64; GA+GG versus AA, OR=1.64, 95% CI: 1.00-2.71) but tend to have a protective effect on prostate cancer (GG versus AA, OR=0.37, 95% CI: 0.14-0.98; GG versus GA+AA, OR=0.37, 95% CI: 0.14-0.98). Thr399Ile polymorphism was significantly associated with an elevated cancer risk in overall analysis (T allele versus C allele, OR=1.72, 95% CI: 1.27-2.33; TC versus CC, OR=1.63, 95% CI: 1.18-2.26; TT+TC versus CC, OR=1.70, 95% CI: 1.24-2.34) and especially in gastrointestinal subgroup (T allele versus C allele, OR=2.01, 95% CI: 1.40-2.89; TC versus CC, OR=1.86, 95% CI: 1.26-2.74; TT+TC versus CC, OR=1.97, 95% CI: 1.35-2.88). Further prospective researches with larger numbers of worldwide participants are warranted to draw comprehensive and true conclusions.  相似文献

Esophageal cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers in the world. Recent large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) reported that functional genetic variations in the phospholipase C epsilon gene (PLCE1) were strongly associated with risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA) in Chinese population. For C20orf54 rs13042395 genotype and risk of esophageal cancer, the results were inconsistent. We conducted a replication case-control study to evaluate the genetic effects of these two functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the development of esophageal cancer. A total of 380 cases and 380 controls were recruited for this study. The genotypes were determined by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-ToF MS). The variant alleles of the functional polymorphism, PLCE1 rs2274223 SNP was associated with the increased risk of esophageal cancer [adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 1.95, 95 % confidence interval (CI) = 1.05-3.59 for PLCE1 rs2274223 GG vs. AA]. However, there was no significant association between the C20orf54 rs13042395 genotype and esophageal cancer risk (adjusted OR = 0.99, 95 % CI = 0.63-1.57 for C20orf54 rs13042395 TT vs. CC). Stratified analyses indicated a significantly increased risk of esophageal cancer associated with the PLCE1 rs2274223 AG genotype was more evident among females, younger patients and never drinkers, compared with the PLCE1 rs2274223 AA genotypes. Stratified analyses also indicated a significantly increased risk of esophageal cancer associated with the PLCE1 rs2274223 GG genotype was more evident among never smokers and never drinkers compared with the PLCE1 rs2274223 AA genotypes. These findings indicated that functional polymorphisms PLCE1 rs2274223 might contribute to esophageal cancer susceptibility.  相似文献

The Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor gene is a crucial regulator of the hypoxia response pathway and plays an important role in tumorigenesis, particularly in tumor growth and vascularization. We hypothesize that polymorphisms in the functional region of VHL may influence susceptibility to prostate cancer (PCa). We genotyped a potentially functional polymorphism (rs779805) in 5' UTR region of VHL in a case-control study of 665 PCa patients and 715 cancer-free controls in a Chinese population using the Taqman assay. The genetic associations between the incidence and progression of PCa were assessed by logistic regression. We observed that the rs779805 A>G polymorphism was significantly associated with risk for PCa. Compared with the AA genotype, the AG and AG/GG genotypes were associated with decreased risk of PCa (adjusted odds ratio [OR]=0.79, 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.62-0.99, and adjusted OR=0.76, 95% CI=0.61-0.95, respectively). Further, this decreased risk was more pronounced in the subgroups of nonsmokers (OR=0.73, 95% CI=0.54-0.98), nondrinkers (OR=0.70, 95% CI=0.54-0.91) and patients without family history of cancer (OR=0.72, 95% CI=0.57-0.92). In addition, the decreased risk associated with rs779805 variant genotypes (AG/GG) was more pronounced among the prostate specific antigen (PSA)>20 ng/mL subgroup (OR=0.68, 95% CI=0.49-0.95). Our findings suggest that the rs779805 A>G polymorphism in VHL may confer susceptibility to PCa in the Chinese population.  相似文献

NBS1 plays important roles in maintaining genomic stability as a key DNA repair protein in the homologous recombination repair pathway and as a signal modifier in the intra-S phase checkpoint. We hypothesized that polymorphisms of NBS1 are associated with hepatic cancer (HCC) risk. The NBS1 rs1805794 C/G polymorphism has been frequently studied in some cancers with discordant results, but its association with HCC has not been investigated. Moreover, studies of the 3'UTR variant rs2735383 have not touched upon HCC. This study examined the contribution of these two polymorphisms to the risk of developing HCC in a Chinese population. NBS1 genotypes were determined in 865 HCC patients and 900 controls and the associations with risk of HCC were estimated by logistic regression. Compared with the rs1805794 GG genotype, the GC genotype had a significantly increased risk of HCC (adjusted odds ratios [OR]=1.41; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.11-1.80), the CC carriers had a further increased risk of HCC (OR=2.27; 95% CI=1.68-3.14), and there was a trend for an allele dose effect on risk of HCC (p<0.001). Also, we found that the risk effect of rs1805794 CC+CG was more pronounced in HCC patients that drank (OR=2.28, 95% CI=1.55-3.29 for drinkers; OR=1.31, 95% CI=1.00-1.77 for nondrinkers). However, there was no significant difference in genotype frequencies of rs2735383 G/C site between cases and controls. These findings suggest that rs1805794 C/G polymorphism in NBS1 may be a genetic modifier for developing HCC.  相似文献

Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) involves in multiple processes in carcinogenesis, including inflammation, apoptosis inhibition, immune response suppression, tumor cell invasion, and angiogenesis. COX-2 is overexpressed in various cancers, including gastric cancer. COX-2 is encoded by prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2) gene. We hypothesized that potentially functional polymorphisms in PTGS2 may contribute to gastric cancer risk. To assess this hypothesis, we conducted a case-control study with 1681 gastric cancer cases and 1916 control subjects in a Chinese population to evaluate the association between a polymorphism in 3'-untranslated region of PTGS2, rs5275, and the risk of gastric cancer. Logistic regression analysis revealed that variant allele (C) of rs5275 was significantly associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer (per allele odds ratio [OR] = 1.14, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.01-1.29, p = 0.030). This association was more prominent in females (per allele OR = 1.42, 95% CI = 1.11-1.81, p = 0.005) and nonsmokers (per allele OR = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.14-1.59, p = 0.001). Interestingly, we detected a negative interaction between rs5275 and smoking on the gastric cancer risk (p = 0.007). Our findings indicate that PTGS2 rs5275T/C may be a candidate genetic marker for gastric cancer susceptibility.  相似文献

The ADIPOQ gene has been implicated in the etiology of hypertension. However, the results have been inconsistent. In this study, a meta-analysis was performed to assess the associations of ADIPOQ polymorphisms with hypertension risk among the Chinese. Published literature from PubMed, CNKI and Wanfang Data were retrieved. Pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95 % confidence interval (CI) was calculated using fixed- or random-effects model. Six studies (1,812 cases and 2,631 controls) for rs2241766 polymorphism and four studies (1,449 cases and 2,175 controls) for rs1501299 polymorphism were identified. A marginally significant association was observed for rs2241766 polymorphism under recessive genetic model (GG vs. GT+TT: OR = 1.22, 95 % CI 1.01-1.48) and for rs1501299 polymorphism under heterogeneous co-dominant model (TG vs. GG: OR = 0.86, 95 % CI 0.75-0.99) and dominant model (TT+TG vs. GG: OR = 0.85, 95 % CI 0.74-0.98). In addition, under other genetic models, there was no significant association for rs2241766 polymorphism (GG vs. TT: OR = 1.20, 95 % CI 0.98-1.48; GT vs. TT: OR = 0.97, 95 % CI 0.85-1.10; GG+GT vs. TT: OR = 1.01, 95 % CI 0.90-1.15) and for rs1501299 polymorphism (TT vs. GG: OR = 0.82, 95 % CI 0.62-1.08; TT vs. TG+GG: OR = 0.87, 95 % CI 0.66-1.14). However, the associations above were not robust by sensitivity analysis. The present meta-analysis indicated the limited evidence of the significant associations between ADIPOQ gene polymorphisms and hypertension susceptibility among the Chinese.  相似文献

DNA repair genes play an important role in maintaining stability and integrity of genomic DNA. Polymorphisms in nucleotide excision repair genes may cause variations in DNA repair capacity phenotype and thus contribute to cancer risk. In this case-control study of 1,125 gastric cancer cases and 1,196 cancer-free controls, we investigated the association between three functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs, rs2296147T > C, rs2094258C > T and rs873601G > A) in the xeroderma pigmentosum group G (XPG) gene and gastric cancer risk. We used the Taqman assays to genotype these three SNPs and logistic regression models to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). We found that only the rs873601A variant genotypes were associated with a significant higher risk for gastric adenocarcinoma (adjusted OR = 1.30, 95% CI = 1.03-1.64 for AA vs. GG and adjusted OR = 1.23, 95% CI = 1.01-1.49 for AA vs. GG/AG). Stratification analysis indicated that this risk was more pronounced in subgroups of older age (>59 years), males, ever-smokers, and patients with NGCA. All these were not found for the other two SNPs (rs2296147T > C and rs2094258C > T). We then performed expression analysis using gastric cancer adjacent normal tissues from 141 patients and found that the A variant allele was associated with non-significantly reduced expression of XPG mRNA (P(trend) = 0.107). Further analysis using mRNA expression data from the HapMap suggested that the A allele was associated with significantly reduced expression of XPG mRNA in normal cell lines for 45 Chinese (P(trend) = 0.003) as well as for 261 subjects with different ethnicities (P(trend) = 0.001). These support the hypothesis that functional XPG variants may contribute to the risk of gastric cancer. Larger studies with different ethnic populations are warranted to validate our findings.  相似文献
