The association of Polymorphisms of Nogo gene and nasopharyngeal carcinoma in Zhuang people in Guangxi / 实用医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship between genetic polymorphisms of Nogo gene and nasopharyngeal carcinoma in Zhuang ethnic group in Guangxi Province.Methods Nogo gene polymorphisms were analyzed between patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma and healthy people as a control in Zhuang ethnic group in Guangxi province using PCR-SBE.Their genotype and allele frequency distribution were compared between case and control group.The frequencies of haplotypes were analyzed with SHEsis software between these two sites in different groups.Results There were no differences between the patients and controls in the genotype or allele frequencies of Nogo gene rs 17046518 site (P ＞ 0.05).But the frequency distribution of T allele was significantly different (P =0.003) in the rs12464595 site.The result of haplotypes analysis showed that GA haplotype and CA haplotype were significantly different between cases and control (P =0.045,P =0.002).Conclusion The CG haplotype,CA haplotype and T allele of Nogo gene rs12464595 site increase the risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma among Zhuang ethnic group in Guangxi.
