Association of LIG4 and XRCC4 gene polymorphisms with the risk of human glioma in a Chinese population.

ABSTRACT: We conducted a case-control study to assess the LIG4 and XRCC4 genes polymorphisms and development of glioma. A case-control study including 162 glioma cases and 324 controls was conducted in a Chinese population. Genotypes of rs10131 and rs1805388 in LIG4 and rs2075685 and rs1805377 in XRCC4 were conducted by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay. Conditional logistic regression analysis showed that subjects carrying AA genotype of LIG4 rs10131 was associated with increased risk of glioma when compared with GG genotype, and the OR (95% CI) was 3.26 (1.50-7.23). We found that GA+AA of LIG4 rs10131 was associated with increased risk of glioma in those without family history of cancer, and the OR (95% CI) was 1.78 (1.12-2.83). However, no associa
