Abstract:
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the association between papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of oncostatin M receptor (OSMR) in the Korean population. METHODS: Retrospective case-control study was done. Eighty-five patients with PTC and 287 controls were studied. One missense SNP (rs2278329, Asp553Asn) and one promoter SNP (rs2292016, -100 G/T) of the OSMR gene were genotyped by direct sequencing. Genetic data were analyzed using the SNPStats, Helixtree, and SNPAnalyzer Pro. PTC patients were dichotomized and compared with respect to the clinicopathologic characteristics. RESULTS: There was no association between genotypes and allele frequencies of OSMR SNPs (rs2278329 and rs2292016) and PTC susceptibility. SNP rs2278329 was significantly associated with tumor size (dominant model; P=0.028; odds ratio [OR], 2.71; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.12 to 6.57). The A allele was higher in sizes large than 1 cm (32.5% vs. 16.7%; P=0.018; OR, 2.41; 95% CI, 1.17 to 4.98). Regarding the number of tumors, we found no significant association with genotype, however, the A allele was higher in patients with multifocaltiy (33.3% vs. 19.1%; P=0.040; OR, 2.12; 95% CI, 1.03 to 4.34). CONCLUSION: The results suggest that OSMR polymorphism rs2278329 is associated with clinicopathologic characteristics of the tumor growth and multifocality development.
