The Genetic Polymorphisms in the MIR17HG Gene Are Associated with the Risk of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma in the Chinese Han Population.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the most common malignant tumors in the world. Genetic variants have an important role in HNSCC progression. Our study is aimed at exploring the relationship between MIR17HG polymorphisms and HNSCC risk in the Chinese Han population.

Methods

We recruited 537 HNSCC cases and 533 healthy subjects to detect the correlation of six polymorphisms in MIR17HG with HNSCC susceptibility. The associations were evaluated by computing odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using logistic regression analysis.

Results

Our study revealed that rs7336610 (OR 1.77, 95%CI = 1.09-2.86, and p = 0.021) and rs1428 (OR 1.73, 95%CI = 1.07-2.81, and p = 0.025) are strongly associated with increase
