The Analysis of LncRNA HOTAIR Rs12826786 C>T Polymorphism and Gastric Cancer Susceptibility in a Turkish Population: Lack of Any Association in a Hospital-based Case-control Study
Overview
Affiliations
Background: The HOX transcript antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR), a well-known long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), has been widely identified to participate in pathogenesis of multiple cancers. An aberrant up-regulation and biological functions have been observed in gastric cancer (GC). A common single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs12826786 C>T) at the HOTAIR has been reported to influence HOTAIR expression, but its association with GC has yet to be investigated in Turkish population.
Aim: The aim of the present study was to investigate whether HOTAIR rs12826786 C>T polymorphism could be involved in the risk of GC susceptibility in Turkish population.
Methods: We genotyped HOTAIR rs12826786 C>T polymorphism in 312 Turkish individuals including 105 GC patients and 207 healthy controls matched on age and gender by a Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) with the TaqMan assay.
Results: No statistically significant differences were found in the allele or genotype distributions of the HOTAIR rs12826786 C>T polymorphism among GC and healthy control subjects (P > 0.05).
Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that the HOTAIR rs12826786 C>T polymorphism has not been in any major role in genetic susceptibility to gastric carcinogenesis, at least in the population studied here. Independent studies are needed to validate our findings in a larger series, as well as in patients of different ethnic origins.
