1790 G/A polymorphism, but not 1772 C/T polymorphism, is significantly associated with cancers: an update study.

This study aimed to investigate the association between PASD8 gene and cancers. For 1772 C/T polymorphism (rs11549465), it included 5552 cases and 8044 controls, and for 1790 G/A (rs11549467), 3381 cases and 5830 controls. The allele-analysis results showed that 1772 C/T (rs11549465) was significantly associated with cancers (OR: 1.177, 95% CI: 1.011-1.369, p=0.035). And results of genotype-analysis indicated that 1790 G/A (rs11549467) had a significant relationship with cancers. (OR: 0.736, 95% CI: 0.595-0.910, p=0.005). For 1790 G/A (rs11549467), the association was significant when subdivided by different kinds of cancers. And no association existed when subdivided into population-type subgroups. In conclusion, PASD8 gene played an important role in the development of cancers.
