Abstract
Down-regulation of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) growth arrest-specific 5 (GAS5) has a pathogenic role in bladder cancer. Moreover, genomic variants of this lncRNA have been associated with risk of diverse cancers. In the present project, we genotyped two putative functional SNPs (rs2067079 and rs6790) in 122 bladder cancer patients and 150 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects. The rs2067079 was associated risk of bladder cancer in recessive inheritance model (TT vs.CC + CT: OR (95% Confidence interval (CI)) = 2.67 (1.27–5.62), adjusted P value = 0.02). The T G haplotype (rs2067079 and rs6790) increased the risk of bladder cancer in the assessed population (OR (95% CI) = 1.73 (1.18–2.56), adjusted P value = 0.02). Consequently, in the current project we introduced a novel risk locus for bladder cancer in Iranian population.
