Abstract:
Objective: To evaluate the relation between the single nucleotide polymorphism of CYP2D6 gene G4268C and the genetic susceptibility to lung cancer. Methods: A case-control study was conducted among 118 lung cancer patients and 118 control subjects (matched for sex, age) to investigate the role of CYP2D6 gene G4268C polymorphism in lung cancer; PCR-RFLP was used to identify the genotypes of polymorphism. Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between polymorphism and genetic susceptibility to lung cancer. Results: The frequency of G4268-C mutation in case and control group were 69.49% and 75.00%, respectively. Non-C4268/C genotype (including G4268/G and G4268/C genotype) was correlated to the high risk of lung cancer, with OR adjusted by gender, age and smoking being 1.80 (95% CI=1.06-3.06), especially to lung adenocarcinoma (OR being 2.95 [95% CI=1.39-6.23]). After stratified analysis of smoking history and adjusting by gender and age, it was revealed that non-C4268/C genotype was associated with significantly increased risk of lung cancer in non-smokers and light-smokers groupq with OR = 2.12 (95% CI = 1.03-4. 36) and OR = 3.75 (95% CI = 1.15-12. 22), respectively. Conclusion: C4268/C genotype may be a protective factor in lung adenocarcinoma patients and may decrease the risk of lung cancer in non-smokers and light-smorkers.
