The Ser326Cys polymorphism of hOGG1 is associated with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma susceptibility in a Chinese population.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is a rare disease whose etiology is far from clear, the Ser326Cys polymorphism in human 8-hydroxyguanine glycosylase (hOGG1) has been shown associated with various cancers, however, the association of Ser326Cys (rsl052133) polymorphism and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma susceptibility has not been clarified. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether this polymorphism is related to the genetic susceptibility of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

Methods

A total 150 patients and 150 normal people were included in this study, the Ser326Cys polymorphisms in each group were genotyped using PCR-RFLP method.

Results

We found that individuals carrying Cys/Cys genotype were exposed to higher riskof intrahepatic cholangiocarcin
