Does the VHL polymorphisms rs779805 and rs1642742 affect renal cell carcinoma susceptibility, prognosis and survival in Central European population?

ABSTRACT: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common malignant tumor of the urinary system. The von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor gene play an essential role in the tumorigenic pathway of clear cell RCC (ccRCC). This study was aimed to clarify the influence of VHL polymorphisms on ccRCC susceptibility and survival in Central European population. We genotyped 2 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs779805 and rs1642742 in VHL gene and assessed their associations with ccRCC risk, clinicopathologic parameters, and prognosis in 171 cases. The selected SNPs were genotyped by ROCHE LifeCycler 96 using tumor tissue-derived DNA. Both SNPs do not directly influence ccRCC susceptibility and overall survival. A significant associations were found between allele G and genotypes AG and GG of rs779805 in th
