Correlation between survivin genetic polymorphisms and lung cancer susceptibility.

Abstract

AIMS:

The purpose of the study was to analyze the relationship of survivin polymorphisms including -31G/C, -625G/C, 9194A/G and 9809T/C with the susceptibility to lung cancer.

METHODS:

Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to test the polymorphisms of -31G/C, -625G/C, 9194A/G and 9809T/C in 104 patients with lung cancer and 104 healthy controls. Then, linkage disequilibrium and haplotypes were analyzed by HaploView software. The differences of genotype, allele and haplotype frequencies in case and control group were assessed via chi-square test. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% CI were used to evaluate the correlation of survivin polymorphisms with lung cancer.

RESULTS:

Genotype distribution of each polymorphism site in control group was in agreement with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) (P>0.05). The frequency of -31G/C CC genotype and C allele in case group were much higher than that of controls, respectively (CC: 33.6% vs. 22.1%; C: 57.2% vs. 46.6%) and CC genotype as well as C allele were appeared to be risk factors for lung cancer. Meanwhile, 9194A/G GG genotype could increase the risk for lung cancer (OR=2.86, 95% CI=1.14-7.20). The risk of G allele carriers for lung caner was higher than that of A allele (OR=1.63, 95% CI=1.08-2.47). The haplotypes analysis indicated that CGGC and GCAT were associated with the susceptibility to lung cancer (OR=2.79, 95% CI=1.58-4.92; OR=2.36, 95% CI=1.29-4.30).

CONCLUSIONS:

Survivin -31G/C and 9194A/G polymorphisms were associated with the risk of lung cancer. The CGGC and GCAT haplotypes carriers were more likely to develop lung cancer.
