Genetic variants in LKB1/AMPK/mTOR pathway are associated with clinical outcomes of chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between genetic variants in LKB1/AMPK/mTOR pathway and treatment outcomes of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with chemotherapy. A total of 379 patients with NSCLC who underwent first-line paclitaxel-cisplatin chemotherapy was enrolled. The associations between 19 single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in the LKB1/AMPK/mTOR pathway and the chemotherapy response and overall survival (OS) were analyzed. Among the SNVs analyzed, AKT1 rs2494750G>C and TSC1 rs2809244C>A were associated with clinical outcomes after chemotherapy in multivariate analyses. The AKT1 rs2494750G>C was significantly associated with a better response to chemotherapy (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 1.92, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02-3.62, p = 0
