MiR-34b/c rs4938723 T>C Decreases Neuroblastoma Risk: A Replication Study in the Hunan Children.

ABSTRACT: Neuroblastoma is the most common seen solid neural tumor in children less than age one. As mutation in the miR-34b/c gene is observed in several types of human malignancies, there likely to be similar events that contribute to the pathogenesis of neuroblastoma. We hypothesize that polymorphism in the miR-34b/c gene might predispose to neuroblastoma. Here, we conducted this replication study by genotyping rs4938723 T>C from miR-34b/c in Hunan children (162 subjects with neuroblastoma and 270 control subjects) and examined its effect on the risk of neuroblastoma. We determined such association using logistic regression, adjusted for age and gender. Relative to those with TT genotype, subjects with C allele had reduced neuroblastoma risk (TC vs. TT: adjusted OR = 0.46, 95%CI = 0.30-0.71; additive model: adjusted OR = 0.64, 95%CI = 0.47-0.88; TC/CC vs. TT: adjusted OR = 0.49, 95%CI = 0.33-0.73). Stratified analysis revealed that rs4938723 TC/CC carriers were less likely to develop neuroblastoma for patients in the subgroups of age ? 18?months, age > 18?months, females, males, tumors in retroperitoneal, tumors in other sites, and clinical stages II, III, IV, and III+IV. Our findings verified miR-34b/c rs4938723 C variant allele as a protective factor for the risk of neuroblastoma. Further investigation of how miR-34b/c rs4938723 T>C might modify neuroblastoma risk is warranted.

Project description:BackgroundAneuploidy pregnancy is a severe major birth defect and causes about 50% spontaneous miscarriages with unknown etiology. To date, only a few epidemiological studies with small sample sizes have investigated the risk factors for aneuploidy pregnancy. TP53, MDM2, and miR-34b/c genes are implicated in tumorigenesis with aneuploidy, yet the function of their polymorphisms in aneuploidy pregnancy susceptibility needs to be clarified.ObjectiveTo elucidate the association of TP53 rs1042522 G > C, MDM2 rs2279744 309 T > G, and miR-34b/c rs4938723 T > C specific polymorphisms with aneuploidy pregnancy.MethodsIn the retrospective case-control study, 330 aneuploidies pregnancy women and 813 normal pregnancy controls were recruited between January 2018 and April 2022 at the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province, Kunming, China. Three functional polymorphisms, the TP53 rs1042522 G > C (Arg72Pro), MDM2 rs2279744 309 T > G, and miR-34b/c rs4938723 T > C, were genotyped using the snapshot method.ResultsThe frequency distribution of three genotypic variants was not different between case and control pregnant women and was similar to with Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE). However, in the younger subgroup (less than 35 years old), a significant difference was detected in allele and recessive model (p = 0.01). In the advanced age subgroup (more than or equal to 35 years old), G of MDM2 rs2279744 T > G revealed a significantly higher frequency in cases than controls (p = 0.045), and miR-34b/c rs4938723 T > C revealed a significant difference under the dominant model (p = 0.03), but no significant differences were observed in other models and in both younger and older subgroup (p > 0.05, respectively). These results suggest that individual polymorphisms were not associated with aneuploidy pregnancy, combined with age, they may serve as a risk factor for aneuploidy pregnancy.ConclusionCombination of TP53 rs1042522 G > C, MDM2 rs2279744 T > G, and miR-34b/c rs4938723 T > C polymorphisms with maternal age may be related to aneuploidy pregnancy susceptibility. These findings might elaborate on the genetic etiology of aneuploidy pregnancy.
