Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms and Cancer Risk, Tumor Recurrence, or Survival of Head and Neck Cancer Patients

Abstract: Objective: This paper aims at studying the influence of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on cancer risk, tumor recurrence, and survival in head and neck (H&N) cancer patients. Methods: A total of 45 SNPs in 41 genes were investigated. A total of 174 Caucasian H&N cancer patients and 245 healthy blood donors were enrolled in the study. Results: Ten SNPs were associated with H&N cancer risk, but the identified SNPs differed among males and females. Some of the SNPs were related to immune response genes. Th… Show more

“…Plasma cytokine and chemokine analysis. Based on previous investigations, plasma IL2, IL6, IL10, IL12, interferon-gamma (IFNγ) or tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), CCL2, CCL4, CCL5 and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-bb were selected as candidate blood-based biomarkers (1,12,21,22). Customised fluorochrome kits for multiplex fluorochrome technique (Luminex xMAPTM Technology, Austin, TX, USA) were purchased from Bio-Rad Laboratories (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA).…”

“…The levels of inflammatory proteins, chemokines and cytokines are suggested to be associated with individual genetic variations (6,8,9). Major contributors to genetic variations are single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) found within DNA sequences (9,21).…”

“…The studies on gene polymorphism can lay an important foundation of molecular biology for revealing the mechanism of malignant tumors, and they have important roles in clarifying tumor susceptibility and predicting the development trend of tumors. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), as the most common type of human genetic variation, is an important part of the research on gene polymorphism and can be used to explore the mechanism of tumor generation ( 12 , 13 ).…”
