Associations of the MTHFR rs1801133 polymorphism with gastric cancer risk in the Chinese Han population
2020
In recent years, increasing evidence has implicated the importance of mutations in the MTHFR gene in the risk of gastric cancer risk. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the MTHFR gene (rs1801133) may serve a critical role in gastric cancer. A hospital-based case-controlled study was performed to assess the risk of the rs1801133 polymorphism on gastric cancer. A total of 307 patients with gastric cancer and 560 patients in the control group were recruited. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood and genotyped for rs1801133 using the ligase detection reaction. The relationship between rs1801133 and gastric cancer risk was evaluated by unconditional logistical regression analysis. The rs1801133-TT genotype was associated with a borderline significantly decreased risk of gastric cancer [(TT vs. CC, adjusted odds ratio (OR)=0.54, 95% confidence intervals (CI)=0.35-0.83; P=0.006; CT vs. CC, adjusted OR=0.59, 95% CI=0.44-0.79, P T mutation at rs1801133 of the MTHFR gene was associated with a decreased risk of gastric cancer in older individuals and those who never drink.
