title: [Studies of the genes related to lung cancer susceptibility in Nanjing Han population, China].
abstract: To investigate the genes related to lung cancer susceptibility in Nanjing Han population, China, a 1:1 matched case-control study was performed in which 152 hospital controls were matched to the 152 original lung cancer cases. The polymorphisms of CYP1A1, CYP2E1, GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1, mEH and NQO1 genes were analyzed by PCRjRFLP assay. The results showed that the heterozygote and mutation homozygote genotypes of CYP1A1 were related to the risk of squamous cell carcinoma (OR=2.31, 95%CI=1.23-4.36). The risk of suffering from lung cancer was increased 2.06-fold in the individuals with GSTT1 (-) genotype (95%CI= 1.30-3.24). The genotype of NQO1 wt/mt and mt/mt was found also to be associated with the risk of lung cancer (OR=1.66i95%CI=1.01-2.74). It was shown that there was no difference in the genotype distribution of CYP2E1, GSTM1, GSTP1 or mEH between cases and controls. Furthermore, stratified analysis suggested that the combination of genotypes of both CYP1A1 and GSTT1 enzymes had a synergistic action in risk of lung cancer (OR=3.41, 95%CI =1.77-6.55). Similarly, there was a cooperation between CYP1A1 mutation genotype and NQO1 mutation genotype (OR=2.45, 95%CI=1.13-5.31). This study suggested that CYP1A1, GSTT1 and gene NQO1 polymorphisms might be associated with the susceptibility to lung cancer in Nanjing Han population. Analysis of gene-gene interactions was helpful to identification of susceptible individuals and screening high-risk population to lung cancer.
