Abstract

Background And Objectives:

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common cancer among men in most western populations. The polymorphisms of the myeloperoxidase (MPO) gene have been correlated with abnormal MPO expression and increased risk of various types of cancers. Our study aimed to evaluate the association between the genetic polymorphisms and the risk of prostate cancer.

Methods:

Genotyping was carried out by using the genotyping system (MassARRAY iPLEX; Sequenom, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) on 1,108 PCa patients and 1,525 cancer-free controls in a Chinese Han population.

Results:

Although one SNP (rs8082134, P < 0.050) was significant, it is very rare and unstable. Other SNPs had no significant difference between genotype distributions in the PCa patients and the control group. Totally, SNPs in the MPO gene is not associated with PCa risk.

Conclusion:

Our data showed a limited association between the MPO SNPs and the susceptibility to PCa in population of Chinese Han population. The possible association of rs8082134 of MPO with PCa risk need further clarification.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...
