MALAT1 rs619586 A/G polymorphisms are associated with decreased risk of lung cancer.
2021
ABSTRACT Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-associated mortality worldwide. Genetic factors are reported to play important roles in lung carcinogenesis. To evaluate genetic susceptibility, we conducted a hospital-based case-control study on the effects of functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs on lung cancer development. A total of 917 lung cancer cases and 925 control subjects were recruited. The MALAT1 rs619586 A/G genotype frequencies between patient and control groups were significantly different (P C, pri-miR-124-1 rs531564 C > G and hsa-miR-423 rs6505162 C > A SNPs were not associated with lung cancer risk. Our collective data indicated that MALAT1 rs619586 A/G SNPs significantly reduced the risk of lung cancer. Large-scale studies on different ethnic populations and tissue-specific biological characterization are required to validate the current findings.
