RESUMO
Objective To investigate the relationship between monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) A-2518G single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) and susceptibility of epithelial ovarian cancer(EOC) in Chinese Han population of Hunan region.Methods MCP-1 A-2518G SNPs of the EOC were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis in 92 patients with EOC and 38 healthy women as control.Results MCP-1 A-2518G SNPs had AA,AG,and GG genotypes in cancer and control groups.The frequencies of AA,AG,and GG genotypes were not significantly different between cancer and control groups (AA:17.40％ and 15.79％ ; AG:44.56％ and 52.63％ ; and GG:38.04％ and 31.58％ ; P ＞0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that there was no significant correlation between MCP-1 A-2518G polymorphism and EOC (P ＞0.05).Conclusions This present study suggested that MCP-1 A-2518G polymorphism should not be related to susceptibility of EOC in the Chinese Han population of Hunan region.
