To evaluate the association between 3 vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene polymorphisms and susceptibility of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN).
This prospectively collected case-control study investigates three common VEGF gene polymorphisms (ie, VEGF -460 [rs833061], VEGF +405 [rs2010963], and VEGF +936 [rs3025039]) in 203 women with CIN and 209 healthy women by DNA pyrosequencing. Associations between polymorphisms and CIN risk are evaluated with univariate and multivariable models and haplotype analysis.
In a multivariable regression model, the variant VEGF +405C allele was associated (odds ratio [OR], 2.5; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2-5.1], P = 0.02) with increased susceptibility of CIN independent of number of sexual partners (OR, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.1-4.6; P = 0.03) and smoking (OR, 3.3; 95% CI, 1.6-6.6; P = 0.001). The haplotype VEGF -460C - +405C - +936C was associated with an OR of 5.2 (95% CI, 1.2-52.7) for the susceptibility of CIN.
The presence of the variant VEGF +405C allele and the haplotype VEGF -460C - +405C - +936C are independently associated with higher susceptibility of CIN.
评估 3 种血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)基因多态性与宫颈上皮内瘤变(CIN)易感性的关系。
本前瞻性病例对照研究通过 DNA 焦磷酸测序,在 203 例 CIN 患者和 209 例健康女性中,调查了 VEGF 基因的 3 种常见多态性(即 VEGF-460[rs833061]、VEGF+405[rs2010963]和 VEGF+936[rs3025039])。通过单变量和多变量模型以及单体型分析评估多态性与 CIN 风险之间的关系。
在多变量回归模型中,与 VEGF+405C 等位基因变异相关(优势比[OR],2.5;95%置信区间[CI],1.2-5.1;P=0.02),独立于性伴侣数量(OR,2.2;95%CI,1.1-4.6;P=0.03)和吸烟(OR,3.3;95%CI,1.6-6.6;P=0.001),CIN 易感性增加。VEGF-460C-+405C-+936C 单体型与 CIN 易感性的 OR 为 5.2(95%CI,1.2-52.7)。
VEGF+405C 等位基因变异和 VEGF-460C-+405C-+936C 单体型的存在与 CIN 易感性的增加独立相关。
