OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of RUNX1 rs2253319 with clinicopathological characteristics of prostate cancer (PCa) and disease recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Taking advantage of the systematic stage and grade for each tumor in a cohort of 314 patients with localized PCa receiving RP, we evaluated the associations of RUNX1 rs2253319 with age at diagnosis, preoperative prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, Gleason score, surgical margin, pathologic stage, status of lymph node metastasis, and PSA recurrence after RP. RESULTS: The minor allele, T, and the minor homozygote TT genotype of RUNX1 rs2253319 were significantly associated with a 1.49- to 2.76-fold higher risk for advanced pathologic stage and a 3.35- to 9.52-fold higher risk for lymph node metastasis. RUNX1 rs2253319 TT genotype was also associated with poorer PSA-free survival compared with the major homozygote CC genotype in Kaplan-Meier analysis (log-rank test, P= 0.038) and multivariate Cox proportional hazards model adjusting for age and PSA concentration (P= 0.045). CONCLUSION: RUNX1 rs2253319 is associated with adverse clinicopathological features and might be a prognostic factor for the recurrence of PSA in patients with PCa receiving RP.
