Genetic variation in IGF1 predicts renal cell carcinoma susceptibility and prognosis in Chinese population.

ABSTRACT: Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and IGF binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) play an important role in the development and progression of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We evaluated the association of functional polymorphisms in IGF1 and IGFBP3 with susceptibility and prognosis of RCC. We genotyped nine potentially functional polymorphisms in IGF1 and IGFBP3 and assessed their association with risk of RCC in a two-stage case-control study compromising 1027 cases and 1094 controls, and with prognosis in a cohort of 311 patients. We found rs5742714 in the 3'-UTR of IGF1 was significantly associated with risk and prognosis of RCC. In the combined set, the rs5742714 GC/CC genotypes were significantly associated with decreased risk of RCC compared with the GG genotype (OR = 0.82; 95% CI = 0.68-0.98, P =
