MiRNA155HG polymorphisms influenced the risk of liver cancer among the Han Chinese population.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Liver cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. The primary aim of this research was to discover the correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the MIR155HG and liver cancer risk. METHODS:The selected SNPs in MIR155HG were genotyped utilizing the Agena MassARRAY platform. We evaluated the correlation between MIR155HG polymorphisms and Liver cancer by genetic model analysis, stratification analysis and haplotype analysis. Relative risk of Liver cancer was shown based on odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). RESULTS:Our results uncovered that rs12482371 and rs1893650 in the MIR155HG were associated with protection against Liver cancer. And the rs928883 was related to increase risk of Liver cancer. Furthermore, apart from rs77218221, other selected SNPs formed two LD blocks, and haplotype "GATAG" in block 2 elevated individual liver cancer risk. CONCLUSIONS:MIR155HG gene polymorphism may be correlated to Liver cancer susceptibility in Han Chinese population, particularly in males and aged ?55?years.
