Association between insulin‐like growth factor‐1 polymorphisms and stomach cancer risk in a Japanese population

Abstract: The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling system plays a central role in cellular growth, differentiation and proliferation. Although the association between IGF1 gene polymorphisms and cancer risk has been evaluated for several carcinomas, this association has not yet been examined for stomach cancer. We investigated the association between IGF1 polymorphisms and the risk of stomach cancer in a Japanese population. A total of 703 patients with stomach cancer and 1462 non-cancer control subjects were enro… Show more

“…It is found that the IGF signaling pathway plays an important role in some cancers. 15,16 IGF1 rs5742612 A > G polymorphism was found to be associated with tumor response to chemotherapy in patients with advanced gastric cancer. Dietary interventions and modifications may downregulate IGF1 activity and reduce the susceptibility of cancer by promoting increased glucagon activity.…”

“…Genetic factors could influence circulating IGF1 concentration [24]. Nowadays, multiple studies in many places have reported the associations between IGF1 polymorphisms and various cancers [25,26,27,28,29,30,31]. However, there have been no studies to investigate the IGF1 polymorphism and risk of childhood ALL.…”

“…The C allele of rs1520220 was found significantly associated with increased serum IGF1 levels and an increased risk of breast cancer in women [68]. Later, the rs1520220 C allele was widely discussed in increasing different types of cancer risks and IGF1 serum levels, such as prostate cancer [69,70], ovarian cancer [71], stomach cancer [72], and more. Of these studies, none have been addressed in melanoma, and hence, the actual causal mechanism of IGF1 rs1520220 in melanoma remains unclear.…”
