ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the association of SYN2, PPARG, RAF1, TIMP4 and IQSEC1 polymorphisms in 3p25 with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in the Chinese Han population.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Genomic DNA was extracted from 494 subjects with or without OSCC. Basic information on the subjects, clinical data, and prognoses were collected. Fifteen candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected and genotyped. The statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, logistic regression, survival, and functional annotation was performed.
RESULTS: IQSEC1-rs2686742 correlated with OSCC occurrence. In addition, RAF1-rs1051208, PPARG-rs10865710, PPARG-rs3856806, IQSEC1-rs2686742, PPARG-rs1175544, IQSEC1-rs9211, and IQSEC1-rs2600322 were significantly associated with the clinical characteristics of patients with OSCC. The log-rank test showed that IQSEC1-rs2600322 may play an important role in the survival of patients with OSCC. The Cox regression analysis suggested that PPARG-rs10865710, PPARG-rs7649970, IQSEC1-rs9211, IQSEC1-rs2600322, and IQSEC1-rs12487715 influenced survival outcomes. The functional annotation indicated that the transcript levels of IQSEC1 were upregulated in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma tissues, whereas PPARG gene transcription was downregulated.
CONCLUSIONS: IQSEC1-rs2686742 may be closely associated with OSCC onset. Multiple SNPs in IQSEC1 and PPARG genes correlated with the clinical characteristics of OSCC, among which PPARG-rs10865710, IQSEC1-rs9211, and IQSEC1-rs2600322 were associated with cancer prognosis.
