Aim:
We aimed to investigate a possible association of the MCP-1 and CCR2 polymorphisms with the risk of developing oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
Methods:
MCP-1 A2518G and CCR2 V64I gene polymorphisms were performed by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism, in 129 patients with OSCC and 140 healthy control subjects.
Results:
Individuals who had G allele and GG genotype of MCP-1, and 64I allele and wt/64I genotype of CCR2 had increased risk for OSCC (P<0.05.) In contrast, individuals with CCR2 wt/wt genotype seem to be protected from OSCC (P < 0.01). Haplotype analysis revealed that MCP-1G: CCR2 64I haplotype frequencies were significantly higher in patients than those of controls (P = 0.001).
Conclusions:
We can suggest that the G allele of MCP-1 and 64I allele of CCR2 may be risk factors for OSCC.
