TCF7L1 Genetic Variants Are Associated with the Susceptibility to Cervical Cancer in a Chinese Population.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Cervical cancer (CC) is the second most common tumor in women worldwide. Studies have been accepted that genetic variations play an important role in the development of CC. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of TCF7L1 variants on CC risk.

Methods

508 patients of cervical cancer and 497 healthy subjects were recruited to determine the impact of TCF7L1 polymorphisms on CC susceptibility. The associations were investigated by computing odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals. The effect of SNP-SNP interactions on CC risk was explored by multifactor dimensionality reduction analysis.

Results

Our study showed that rs11904127 (OR 0.79, p = 0.010) and rs62162674 (OR 0.82, p = 0.044) of TCF7L1 significantly decreased cervical cancer risk. Stratified analysis indicated that rs11904127 and rs62162674 present decreased susceptibility to CC in age > 51 years (OR 0.74, p = 0.019; OR 0.72, p = 0.014, respectively). Haplotype analyses revealed that Grs2366264Trs11689667Crs62162674 has a lower risk to cervical cancer (OR = 0.43, p = 0.018). Besides, there is strong interaction of rs11904127 and rs2366264.

Conclusion

Rs11904127 and rs62162674 in TCF7L1 are related to cervical cancer. We suggest that these variants can be used as prognostic markers for judging the susceptibility to cervical cancer.
