Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Multiple genetic studies have confirmed association of 8q24 variants with susceptibility to prostate cancer (CaP). However, the risk conferred in men living in Russia is unknown. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this work we studied the association of rs6983267, rs10090154, and rs1447295 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with a risk of CaP development in men of Caucasoid descent living in the Siberian region of Russia. Three 8q24 SNPs were genotyped by real-time polymerase chain reaction in histologically confirmed CaP "cases" (n = 392) and clinically evaluated "controls" (n = 344). To evaluate the SNP effects on CaP susceptibility, odds ratio (OR) and confidence interval (CI) 95% were calculated. Allele and genotype frequencies in the groups were compared using logistic regression; differences were considered statistically significant if P<0.05. RESULTS: We showed statistically significant association of the A allele of rs1447295 (OR [CI 95%] = 1.96 [1.37-2.81], P<0.0001) and the T allele of rs10090154 (OR [CI 95%] = 2.14 [1.41-3.26], P<0.0001) with CaP. The T-A rs10090154 to rs1447295 haplotype was also associated with CaP (OR [CI 95%] = 2.47 [1.59-3.85], P<0.0001). There was no significant association with the T allele of rs6983267: OR [CI 95%] = 0.9 [0.73-1.11], P> 0.05. CONCLUSION: Thus, our investigation confirms the role of chromosomal region 8q24 in the development of CaP in the Russian population.
