To investigate the association between pre-miR-146a C/G polymorphism and gastric cancer risk.
We performed a hospital-based, case-control study using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method in 608 individuals (304 gastric cancer patients and 304 age and sex matched cancer-free controls).
The frequencies of pre-miR-146a C/G genotypes in the case group were significantly different from those in the control groups (P = 0.037). Compared with CC genotype carriers, subjects with the variant genotypes (GC + GG) had a 58% increased risk of gastric cancer (adjusted OR = 1.58, 95% CI: 1.11-2.20, P = 0.009). Moreover, a higher gastric cancer risk was especially evident in younger individuals aged < or =58 years, nonsmokers, and males (adjusted OR = 1.76, 95% CI: 1.08-2.87, P = 0.024; adjusted OR = 1.55, 95% CI: 1.06-2.28, P = 0.025; adjusted OR = 1.53, 95% CI: 1.04-2.27, P = 0.033; respectively).
Pre-miR-146a C/G polymorphism might be associated with an elevated risk of gastric cancer in Chinese population.
探讨前 miR-146a C/G 多态性与胃癌风险的关联。
采用聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性方法,对 608 例个体(304 例胃癌患者和 304 例年龄和性别匹配的无癌对照)进行了基于医院的病例对照研究。
病例组中前 miR-146a C/G 基因型的频率与对照组有显著差异(P = 0.037)。与 CC 基因型携带者相比,变异基因型(GC+GG)个体患胃癌的风险增加了 58%(调整后的 OR = 1.58,95%CI:1.11-2.20,P = 0.009)。此外,在年龄≤58 岁、不吸烟者和男性中,胃癌的风险更高(调整后的 OR = 1.76,95%CI:1.08-2.87,P = 0.024;调整后的 OR = 1.55,95%CI:1.06-2.28,P = 0.025;调整后的 OR = 1.53,95%CI:1.04-2.27,P = 0.033)。
前 miR-146a C/G 多态性可能与中国人群胃癌风险升高有关。
