Association of NEFL Gene Polymorphisms with Wilms’ Tumor Susceptibility in Chinese Children
2019
Wilms’ tumor is renal tumor of childhood, characterized by the appearance of embryonic renal tissue and other kidney malformations. The genetic etiology of sporadic Wilms’ tumor remains largely unknown. Neurofilament light (NEFL) is a tumor suppressor. We evaluated the association between three NEFL gene polymorphisms (rs11994014 G>A, rs2979704 T>C and rs1059111 A>T) and Wilms’ tumor susceptibility in a Chinese population consisting of 145 cases and 531 controls. In the single locus analysis, rs2979704 CC variant genotype was associated with a decreased risk of Wilms’ tumor [CC vs. TT: adjusted odds ratio (OR)=0.48, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.24-0.94; CC vs. TT
