Abstract
BACKGROUND
The present study investigated whether 16 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), selected based on minor allele frequencies, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and reported SNPs related to the susceptibility of certain gastrointestinal cancer, were associated with esophageal cancer (EC) risk in a Chinese Han population.
METHODS
We genotyped 16 SNPs among 506 cases and 507 controls using Agena MassARRAY (Agena, San Diego, CA, USA). The association between 16 SNPs and EC risk was analyzed by a chi-squared test and genetic model analysis. Logistic regression analysis was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
RESULTS
rs1050631 and the rs6214 were associated with a decreased EC risk (OR = 0.75, p = 0.038; OR = 0.74, p = 0.045, respectively). In stratification analysis, the rs9868873 was associated with an increased EC risk (age < 64 years) (OR = 5.03, p = 0.005). The rs6214 was associated with a decreased EC risk (age < 64 years) (OR = 0.59, p = 0.025). The rs861530 was significantly associated with a decreased EC risk (age ≥ 64 years) (OR = 0.67, p = 0.046). rs1050631 was associated with a decreased EC risk in males (OR = 0.71, p = 0.034). In the stratified analysis of clinical stage III/IV, the rs1800566 was associated with a decreased EC risk (OR = 0.49, p = 0.024). Finally, the rs1052133 was associated with an elevated EC risk in the stratified analysis of lymph node metastasis (OR = 1.73, p = 0.025).
CONCLUSIONS
The findings of the present study demonstrate that SLC39A6, IGF1, SEMA5B, XRCC3, NQO1 and OGG1 polymorphisms were associated with EC risk under multiple models.
