The TP53 gene rs1042522 C>G polymorphism and neuroblastoma risk in Chinese children

Abstract

TP53, a tumor suppressor gene, plays a critical role in cell cycle control, apoptosis, and DNA damage repair. Previous studies have indicated that the TP53 gene Arg72Pro (rs1042522 C>G) polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to various types of cancer. We evaluated the association of the TP53 gene rs1042522 C>G polymorphism with neuroblastoma susceptibility in a hospital-based study among the Chinese Han population. Enrolled were 256 patients and 531 controls. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) generated using logistic regression models were used to determine the strength of the association of interest. No association was detected between rs1042522 C>G polymorphism and neuroblastoma risk. In our stratification analysis of age, gender, sites of origin, and clinical stages, we observed that subjects with rs1042522 CG/GG genotypes had a lower risk of developing neuroblastoma in the mediastinum (Adjusted OR=0.52, 95% CI=0.33-0.82, P=0.005) than those carrying the CC genotype. These results indicate that TP53 gene rs1042522 C>G polymorphism may exert a weak and site-specific effect on neuroblastoma risk in Southern Chinese children and warrant further confirmation.

P2RY12:rs7637803 TT variant genotype increases coronary artery aneurysm risk in Kawasaki disease in a southern Chinese population

“…Allele‐specific probes were purchased from Applied Biosystems (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA). The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed in 384‐well plates in an ABI‐Q6 real‐time PCR system . Moreover, to ensure the quality and accuracy of the genotyping results, we randomly selected 10% of the samples for repeat analysis, and the results were found to be 100% concordant.…”

Association between NER Pathway Gene Polymorphisms and Wilms Tumor Risk

“…Specimens were annotated with information including age at diagnosis, sex, and disease stage based on the NWTS-5 criteria. The 531 cancer-free controls were selected from children visiting the same hospital for a regular physical examination during the same period of time 36, 37, 38, 39. Frequency matching was performed for cases and controls on age and sex.…”

HOTAIR gene polymorphisms contribute to increased neuroblastoma susceptibility in Chinese children

“…In brief, we identified 275 histologically confirmed neuroblastoma cases among Guangdong residents from the Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center between February 2010 and March 2017. During the same period, 531 age‐matched, sex‐matched, and ethnicity‐matched control subjects also were collected from the same hospital . Before their participation, we obtained written informed consent for all the included subjects.…”

“…During the same period, 531 age-matched, sex-matched, and ethnicity-matched control subjects also were collected from the same hospital. 47,48 Before their participation, we obtained written informed consent for all the included subjects. This study was approved by the institutional review boards of both hospitals.…”
