LIN28A gene polymorphisms modify neuroblastoma susceptibility: A four-centre case-control study.

ABSTRACT: Neuroblastoma ranks the most common seen solid tumour in childhood. Overexpression of LIN28A gene has been linked to the development of multiple human malignancies, but the relationship between LIN28A single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and neuroblastoma susceptibility is still under debate. Herein, we evaluated the correlation of four potentially functional LIN28A SNPs (rs3811464 G>A, rs3811463 T>C, rs34787247 G>A, and rs11247957 G>A) and neuroblastoma susceptibility in 505 neuroblastoma patients and 1070 controls from four independent hospitals in China. The correlation strengths were determined by using odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Among these SNPs, rs34787247 G>A exhibited a significant association with increased susceptibility in neuroblastoma (GA vs GG: adjusted OR = 1.30, 95% CI = 1.03-1.64; AA vs GG: adjusted OR = 2.51, 95% CI = 1.36-4.64, AA/GA vs GG: adjusted OR = 1.42, 95% CI = 1.12-1.80, AA vs GG/GA: adjusted OR = 2.39, 95% CI = 1.29-4.42). Furthermore, the combined analysis of risk genotypes revealed that subjects carrying three risk genotypes (adjusted OR = 1.64, 95% CI = 1.02-2.63) are more inclined to develop neuroblastoma than those without risk genotype, and so do carriers of 1-4 risk genotypes (adjusted OR = 1.26, 95% CI = 1.01-1.56). Stratification analysis further revealed risk effect of rs3811464 G>A, rs34787247 G>A and 1-4 risk genotypes in some subgroups. Haplotype analysis of these four SNPs yields two haplotypes significantly correlated with increased neuroblastoma susceptibility. Overall, our finding indicated that LIN28A SNPs, especially rs34787247 G>A, may increase neuroblastoma risk.

Project description:Hepatoblastoma is one of the malignant liver tumors in children. However, genetic mechanisms underpinning the initiation of hepatoblastoma remain largely unclear. The previous study showed that lin-28 homolog B (LIN28B) might play a role in the development of hepatoblastoma. To detect the association between LIN28B gene polymorphisms and hepatoblastoma risk in Chinese children, we conducted a five-center case-control study of 275 hepatoblastoma patients and 1018 cancer-free controls. Four potentially functional polymorphisms were genotyped using the Taqman method. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to evaluate the strength of the associations. We found that the rs314276 C>A polymorphism (AA vs. CC: adjusted OR=2.05, 95% CI=1.36-3.10, P=0.0006; AA vs. CA/CC: adjusted OR=2.11, 95% CI=1.43-3.12, P=0.0002) and rs9404590 T>G (GG vs. TT: adjusted OR=1.89, 95% CI=1.20-3.00, P=0.007; GG vs. TT/TG: adjusted OR=1.87, 95% CI=1.20-2.92, P=0.006) were associated with increased hepatoblastoma risk. Combination analysis of risk genotypes showed that patients with four risk genotypes had a higher chance of developing hepatoblastoma than carriers of 1 to 3 risk genotypes. Stratification analysis showed the significant association between the rs314276 AA genotype and hepatoblastoma risk in both age and sex groups, as well as clinical stages III+IV cases. The rs9404590 GG genotype was associated with hepatoblastoma risk in participants' ?17 months, in females, and for those with clinical stages III+IV disease. Furthermore, four risk genotypes confer higher hepatoblastoma susceptibility in both age and sex groups, as well as groups with clinical stages III+IV disease. Genotype-based gene expression analysis confirmed that the rs9404590 T>G polymorphism was significantly associated with altered LIN28B gene expression. We further validated our findings using false-positive probability analysis. This finding suggested that LIN28B gene polymorphisms may be associated with an increased predisposition to hepatoblastoma.
