Relationship between IGF2BP2 and IGFBP3 polymorphisms and susceptibility to non-small-cell lung cancer: a case-control study in Eastern Chinese Han population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

IGF2BP2 and IGFBP3 polymorphisms may be associated with cancer risk.

Methods

With an aim to determine the association of variations in IGF2BP2 and IGFBP3 genes with risk of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), IGF2BP2 rs1470579 A>C, rs4402960 G>T and IGFBP3 rs2270628 C>T, rs3110697 G>A, and rs6953668 G>A polymorphisms were selected and genotyped in 521 NSCLC patients and 1,030 controls.

Results

We found that there was no difference in IGF2BP2 and IGFBP3 genotype distribution among the NSCLC patients and controls. The stratified analyses suggested that IGF2BP2 rs1470579 A>C polymorphism decreased the risk of NSCLC in some subgroups (female subgroup: CC vs AA: adjusted P=0.032 and CC vs AC/AA: adjusted P=0.028; <60 years subgroup: CC vs AA: adjusted P=0.012 and CC vs AC/AA: adjusted P=0.013; and never drinking subgroup: CC vs AA: adjusted P=0.046 and CC vs AC/AA: adjusted P=0.031). The stratified analyses also found that IGF2BP2 rs4402960 G>T polymorphism decreased the risk of NSCLC in some subgroups (female subgroup: TT vs GG: adjusted P=0.031 and TT vs GT/GG: adjusted P=0.026; <60 subgroup: TT vs GG: adjusted P=0.037 and TT vs GT/GG: adjusted P=0.038; and never drinking subgroup: TT vs GT/GG: adjusted P=0.046). Haplotype analysis indicated A_rs1470579C_rs2270628G_rs3110697G_rs4402960A_rs6953668 haplotype decreased susceptibility of NSCLC (P=0.007).

Conclusion

Our study suggests that IGF2BP2 rs1470579 A>C, rs4402960 G>T single-nucleotide polymorphisms are candidates for decreased susceptibility to NSCLC among female, <60 years, and never drinking subgroups. In the future, more case-control studies with functional analysis are needed to confirm these preliminary findings.
