Analysis of MIR155HG variants and colorectal cancer susceptibility in Han Chinese population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

MIR155HG plays an important role in malignant tumors, but it is rarely reported in the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer (CRC). This study investigated the effects of MIR155HG polymorphisms on CRC susceptibility from the perspective of molecular genetics.

Methods

Eight SNPs in MIR155HG were selected and genotyped among 514 CRC cases and 510 healthy controls using the Agena MassARRAY platform. The associations between these SNPs and the CRC risk were evaluated under genetic models using conditional logistic regression analysis. The HaploReg v4.1 database was used for SNPs functional prediction.

Results

The allele "C" of rs12482371 (p = 0.047), allele "C" of rs1893650 (p = 0.025), and the allele "A" of rs928883 (p = 0.037) in MIR155HG were signi
