Abstract Background Gastric cancer is a malignant type of cancer associated with many factors such as environment, behavior, infection, and genetics, which include Single Nucleotide Polymorphism. A few studies revealed polymorphisms of the Mucin 1 gene have a role and significance as a susceptible factor contributing to gastric cancer. The aim of this research is to evaluate the association between Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms of the Mucin 1 gene and Vietnamese gastric cancer patients.Methods 302 gastric cancer patients and 304 controls were interviewed for social-economic characteristics, smoking and drinking status, personal and family history of gastric diseases. Genotyping was done using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. The association of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms with gastric cancer was evaluated using multifactor regression models.Results AA genotype for rs4072037 was found to be highly associated with gastric cancer (OR: 2.07 (95% CI: 1.46-2.90). GG genotype for rs2070803 increased the risk of gastric cancer (OR:1.96 (95% CI: 1.37-2.78). These genotypes in combination with other factors such as old age, male gender, alcoholism and personal history of gastric disease also showed an increased risk of having gastric cancer.Conclusions rs4072037 and rs2070803 of Mucin 1 genes are two genotypic risk factors of gastric cancer. Those in combination with other factors such as gender, family history, smoking and drinking habits significantly increase the risk of gastric cancer.

AbstractBackground. Many recent studies revealed that the single nucleotide polymorphisms have considerable effects on the susceptibility of cancer, such as prostate cancer, lung cancer and gastric cancer. The E-cadherin, a calcium-dependent transmembrane glycoprotein encoded by CDH1 gene, is critical for epithelial construction, intercellular adhesion and cell migration. Some associations have been reported between single nucleotide polymorphisms and gastric cancer in the Chinese population. Objective. To investigate whether the single nucleotide polymorphism in CDH1 gene is associated with the susceptibility of gastric cancer in the Chinese population. Material and methods. The genotypes of 5 known single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs33935154, rs121964871, rs121964874, rs121964875, rs121964876) were determined in 359 gastric cancer patients and 368 healthy controls. High resolution melting curve detection and sequencing analysis were used in the present study. Results. There is a statistical significance in the rs121964871 C>G polymorphism between gastric cancer patients and healthy controls (OR=1.769, 95%CI: 1.051-2.976). Elderly male individuals (>50 years of age) carrying this risk factor may be more susceptible to gastric cancer. Conclusions. The results indicated that the rs121964871 C>G polymorphism is associated with the susceptibility of gastric cancer in the Chinese population, with some age and sex-dependent tendencies observed.
