HMGA2 Gene rs8756 A>C Polymorphism Reduces Neuroblastoma Risk in Chinese Children: A Four-Center Case-Control Study.

Abstract:

Background:Neuroblastoma, mainly affecting children, is a lethal malignancy arising from the developing sympathetic nervous system. The genetic etiology of neuroblastoma remains mostly obscure. High mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2), an oncogenic gene, is up-regulated in many tumors. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) often modify cancer susceptibility. However, no studies are investigating the association between HMGA2 SNPs and neuroblastoma susceptibility. Methods:We conducted a four-center case-control study to evaluate the association between three HMGA2 polymorphisms (rs6581658 A>G, rs8756 A>C and rs968697 T>C) and neuroblastoma susceptibility in a Chinese population with 505 cases and 1070 controls. Logistic regression was performed to evaluate the strength of the association. Results:We found that the rs8756 AC/CC genotypes were associated with a reduced neuroblastoma risk when compared to rs8756 AA genotype [Adjusted odds ratio (OR)=0.74, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.56-0.99, P=0.039]. Carriers with 3 protective genotypes have lower neuroblastoma susceptibility than those without or with 0-2 protective genotypes. The stratified analysis revealed that the protective effects of rs8756 AC/CC genotypes were more predominant among children of age > 18 months, males, and subgroups with the tumor in the mediastinum. Furthermore, haplotype analysis uncovered that haplotype ACC significantly reduced neuroblastoma risk. Conclusion:Our study indicated HMGA2 rs8756 A>C polymorphism is significantly associated with decreased neuroblastoma risk.
