The prognostic impacts of TEA domain (TEAD) transcription factor polymorphisms in Chinese hepatocellular carcinoma patients.

ABSTRACT: TEA domain (TEAD) transcription factors play an important role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development and progression by regulating the expression of a number of genes. However, the association of their genetic variations with HCC prognosis remains elusive. Seven potentially functional single nucleotide polymorphisms in TEAD1-4 (rs2304733, rs10831923, rs12104362, rs3745305, rs11756089, rs2076173, rs7135838) were genotyped from 331 hepatitis B virus positive HCC patients using the Sequenom MassARRAY iPLEX platform. The TEAD3 rs2076173 C allele and rs11756089 T allele were identified as protective alleles as they were significantly associated with longer median overall survival time (MST). The T allele of rs2076173 was significantly associated with HCC survival in
