The effect of FOXP3 genetic polymorphisms on correlations with hepatitis B virus-hepatocellular carcinoma: A case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies have reported that transcription factor forkhead box protein 3 (FOXP3) polymorphisms are correlated with the progress of some cancers, but the relationships between the FOXP3 polymorphisms and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk remain unclear.

Method

Genotypes were detected in156 hepatitis B virus (HBV)-HCC patients, 109 HBV-liver cirrhosis (LC) patients, 125 chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients, and 188 healthy controls. The FOXP3 rs3761547 and rs3761548 polymorphisms were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with restriction fragment length polymorphism, and the rs2232365 polymorphism was genotyped using PCR with sequence-specific primers.

Results

We did not obtain any significant results with the FOXP3 rs3761547, rs376154
