HOTAIR rs7958904 polymorphism is associated with increased cervical cancer risk in a Chinese population.

ABSTRACT: Previously, we have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs7958904 and rs4759314 in long non-coding RNA HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) were significantly associated with risk of colorectal and gastric cancer, respectively. Here, we aimed to investigate the association between HOTAIR SNPs and cervical cancer (CC) susceptibility. A total of 1209 cases and 1348 controls were enrolled for association study and genotyped with TaqMan allelic discrimination method. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was utilized for in vivo analysis of allele-specific HOTAIR expression. MTT assay was employed for evaluation of allele-specific cell proliferation. The rs7958904 CC genotype was related to an increased risk of cervical cancer compared with the GG/GC genotypes (OR = 1.57, 95%
