Abstract:

AIM: To investigate the association between VEGF-A gene polymorphism and prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer. METHODS: This study was a retrospective analysis involved 149 patients with colorectal cancer who were underwent surgical treatment and received fluorouracil based adjuvant chemotherapy. Peripheral blood of the CRC patients was collected before surgery used to extract genomic DNA and the genotyping of -94C>G was carried out with PCR-RFLP. The genotype results of 149 patients were further verified and included in the final analysis. The correlation of -94C>G genotype and other variables was analyzed by logistic regression model. The univariate analysis of genotype and prognosis was carried out by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, and multivariates were adjusted by Cox regression analysis.RESULTS:The prevalence of -94C>G in VEGF-A among the Chinese population are as follows: the GG genotype 62 cases (41.6%), CG genotype 61 cases (40.9%) and CC genotype 26 cases (17.4%), minimum allele frequency was 0.38. The distribution of three genotypes in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (P=0.113). There were no statistical differences in the distribution of the three genotypes in baseline clinical data. The survival analysis of patients with different genotypes found that the 5 years OS rates of patients with CC genotype was significantly lower, which was statistically significant compared with those of GG/CG genotypes (P=0.022). Adjusted in multivariate Cox regression analysis, CC genotype was an independent factor for OS (OR=3.76, P=0.015). CONCLUSION: Among patients with colorectal cancer, the mutant homozygous CC genotype of VEGF-A -94C>G has independent influence on the prognosis of CRC patients.
