Objective: We aimed to analyzed the association between gastric cancer and polymorphism of XPO5 gene.
Method: The polymorphism in the XPO5 gene (rs11544382) was determined in 120 individuals (60 gastric cancer patients; 60 healthy controls) using Real-Time PCR method.
Results: The comparison of gastric cancer patients and controls revealed a statistically significant relationship for alcoholic drink consumption (p<0.05).The relationship between XPO5 gene (rs11544382) polymorphism and gastric cancer was statistically not significant. There was no a statistically significant relationship between mutant (GG) genotype with both wild type (AA) and heterozygous (AG) polymorphic genotypes when evaluated in XPO5 polymorphism gastric cancer patients and control groups (χ2:0.12, p=0.729). The heterozygous (AG) was dominant in gastric cancers patients and control subjects, 93.3 and 91.7% respectively.
Conclusions: This study provides information about allele
and genotype frequency distribution of XPO5 gene polymorphism (rs11544382) in Turkish At the same time, AG genotype was found to be dominant in gastric cancer patients and their controls.
