The current findings suggest that HIF1A P582S polymorphism correlates with urinary cancers risk in Caucasian population, while A588T polymorphism may increase the risk of urinary cancers in Asian population and prostate cancer.
However, the combined variant genotypes of rs2057482 and rs11549467 were associated with increased PCa risk (OR=2.10; 95%CI=1.23-3.57 among subjects carrying three or more risk alleles).
In previous studies, the C1772T (P582S) or the G1790A (A588T) polymorphisms of the HIF-1alpha gene have been identified in renal cell carcinoma, head and neck and esophageal squamous cell carcinomas as well as colorectal and prostate cancers.
