Polymorphisms of the CYR61 gene in patients with acute myeloid leukemia in a Han Chinese population.

ABSTRACT: It was demonstrated in previous studies that cysteine-rich angiogenic inducer 61 (Cyr61) plays vital roles in hematological disorders, and we have already reported that the Cyr61 protein is a tumor promoter in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here, we investigated the association between CYR61 gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to AML.We genotyped 2 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (rs2297141 and rs6576776) in the region of the CYR61 gene by improved multiplex ligase detection reaction genotyping assays in a total of 275 samples, including samples from 137 AML patients and 138 healthy controls. Chi-squared tests and logistic regression analysis were performed to compare the different distributions of the genotypes and alleles between patients and healthy controls.The rs2297141 A allele was
