ABSTRACT. The purpose of this hospital-based case-control study was to assess whether the interleukin (IL)-17 rs2275913 genetic variation can influence susceptibility to gastric cancer. Samples from a total of 202 gastric cancer patients and 237 controls were collected from the Linyi People's Hospital between March 2013 and March 2015. The IL-17 rs2275913 gene polymorphism was identified by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism. When compared with control subjects, gastric cancer patients were older in age (OR = 3.89, 95%CI = 2.55-5.95), male (OR = 2.08, 95%CI = 1.39-3.10), had a habit of alcohol consumption (OR = 1.71, 95%CI = 1.15-2.55), and were more likely to be infected with Helicobacter pylori (OR = 2.76, 95%CI = 1.83-4.16). We observed that the AA genotype of the IL-17 rs2275913 polymorphism resulted in a 2.32-fold risk of gastric cancer compared to the GG genotype (OR = 2.32, 95%CI = 1.20-4.54; P = 0.01). The AG combined with AA genotype of the IL-17 rs2275913 polymorphism had more risk of developing gastric cancer than the GG genotype (OR = 1.50, 95%CI = 1.01-2.23; P = 0.04). Moreover, the AA genotype of the IL-17 rs2275913 polymorphism was correlated with a higher risk of developing gastric cancer than the GG and AG genotypes combined (OR = 2.01, 95%CI = 1.08-3.79; P = 0.02). In conclusion, the results of our study suggest that the IL-17 rs2275913 polymorphism could contribute to the risk of gastric cancer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
