Interleukin-17A gene polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT: We conducted a study to investigate the role of three common SNPs in the IL-17A and IL-17F genes (rs2275913G>A, rs3748067C>T and rs763780T>C) in the development of gastric cancer, and their interaction with H.pylori infection. A total of 326 patients with gastric cancer and 326 control subjects were consecutively recruited between May 2012 and May 2014. Genotyping of IL-17A rs2275913G>A and rs3748067C>T and IL-17F rs763780T>C was performed in a 384-well plate format on the Sequenom MassARRAY platform. By logistic regression analysis, individuals carrying the GA and AA genotypes of IL-17 rs2275913G>A were significantly associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer when compared with GG genotype, and the adjusted Ors (95% CI) were 1.46 (1.03-2.06) for GA genotype and 2.57 (1.51-4.43) f
