ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>CDH1, encoding E-cadherin, is an important tumor suppressor gene. The present study aims to investigate the association of -160(C-->A) polymorphism in CDH1 gene with susceptibility to gastric cancer in Fujian province.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>One hundred and two patients from independent families and 101 healthy control subjects were analyzed. Genotype analysis was performed through polymerase chain reaction-based denaturing high performance liquid chromatography. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by unconditional logistic regression model.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The frequencies of -160(C-->A) polymorphism CC, CA and AA genotype in case group and controls were 58(56.9%), 38(37.3%)ì6(5.9%) and 55(54.5%), 41(40.6%), 5(5%), respectively. AA genotype did not present a significantly increased risk for gastric cancer (OR=1.12; 95% CI:0.32-3.95). No association was found between A allele and clinicopathological characteristics of gastric cancer.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>-160(C-->A) polymorphism in CDH1 gene promoter region may not be in association with genetic susceptibility to gastric cancer in Chinese population from Fujian.</p>
