We examined the effect of HIF1A rs11549467, HIF1A rs11549465, HIF1A rs2057482, HIF2A rs13419896 and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) rs833061 on the risk of lung cancer using TaqMan real-time PCR assay.
When stratified by study design, significantly elevated susceptibility to cancer was found among hospital-based studies.These findings suggested that the 1790G/A (rs11549467) genetic polymorphism may contribute to the susceptibility of cancers except gynecologic cancer, especially in homozygote comparison and recessive genetic model among Caucasian population, and this SNP was significantly associated with the lung cancer, pancreatic cancer and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
In this study, we have investigated the relationship between seven HIF-1alphapolymorphisms [C > T substitution in intron 8 (rs10873142), T418I (rs41508050) in exon 10, P564P (rs41492849), L580L (rs34005929), P582S (rs11549465), A588T (rs11549467) in exon 12 and dinucleotide GT repeats in intron 13 (rs10645014)] among lung cancer patients in the Turkish population.
