The relationship between C20orf54 gene rs3746804 position single nucleotide polymorphism and susceptibility to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma / 中华内科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the association of C20orf54 gene rs3746804 position single nucleotide polymorphism and susceptibility to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).Methods Purification of genomic DNA from whole blood was used the Maxwell(R) 16 System.rs3746804 in C20ort54 was detected by direct sequencing in 434 ESCC patients from Changzhi (Shanxi province) and Linzhou (Henan province) and 554 healthy controls from Changzhi,Linzhou and including immigrators from Linzhou to Changzhi.Results For rs3746804,the genotypic frequencies of CT(37.5％ vs 51.0％,37.5％ vs 52.0％),CC (44.2％ vs 34.8％,44.2％ vs 33.0％) in Changzhi ESCC patients showed significant differences with healthy Changzhi controls and the healthy immigrator controls (all P ＜ 0.05),and the frequencies of TT(18.3％ vs 4.1％) and CC (44.2％ vs 54.6％) in Changzhi ESCC patients showed significant differences with Linzhou ESCC patients (all P ＜0.05).The genotypic frequencies of TT (4.1％ vs 15.0％),CT (41.2％ vs 52.0％) and CC(54.6％ vs 33.0％) showed significant differences between Linzhou ESCC patients and the healthy immigrator controls (all P ＜ 0.05),and the frequencies of TT (4.1％ vs 14.1％) and CC (54.6％ vs 34.8％) showed significant differences between Linzhou ESCC patients and Changzhi healthy controls (all P ＜ 0.01).Meanwhile,there were significant differences between ESCC patients (including Changzhi and Linzhou ESCC patients) and healthy controls (including the healthy Changzhi,Linzhou and immigrator controls) in genotypic frequencies of CT(39.2％ vs 48.7％) and CC (48.8％ vs 38.2％) (all P ＜ 0.01).CT and CT + TT genotype could decrease the risk of ESCC compared with the CC genotype (OR =0.630,95％ CI0.481-0.826 ; OR =0.654,95％ CI 0.507-0.844).Conclusion There is a closed relationship between SNP rs3746804 in C20orf54 and susceptibility to ESCC.
