Polymorphisms in C-reactive protein and Glypican-5 are associated with lung cancer risk and Gartrokine-1 influences Cisplatin-based chemotherapy response in a Chinese Han population.

ABSTRACT: The role of genetics in progression of cancer is an established fact, and susceptibility risk and difference in outcome to chemotherapy may be caused by the variation in low-penetrance alleles of risk genes. We selected seven genes (CRP, GPC5, ACTA2, AGPHD1, SEC14L5, RBMS3, and GKN1) that previously reported link to lung cancer (LC) and genotyped single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of these genes in a case-control study. A protective allele "C" was found in rs2808630 of the C-reactive protein (CRP). Model association analysis found genotypes "T/C" and "C/C" in the dominant model and genotype "T/C" in the overdominant model of rs2808630 associated with reduced LC risk. Gender-specific analysis in each model showed that genotypes "T/T" and "C/C" in rs2352028 of the Glypican 5 (GPC5) were
