Background: Leptin (LEP ) and LEP
receptor (LEPR ) polymorphisms may be
associated with the development of cancer.
Methods: In this study, we selected five functional LEP and LEPR single-nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) and conducted a case–control study to determine the
relationship of LEP and LEPR polymorphisms with
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk in Eastern Chinese Han population. There
were 584 HCC cases and 923 cancer-free controls included in our study. HCC
patients and controls were fully matched by age and sex. SNPscan™ genotyping
method was used to analyze the genotyping of LEP rs2167270
G>A, rs7799039 A>G, LEPR rs6588147
G>A, rs1137100 G>A, and rs1137101 G>A SNPs.
Results: We found that LEP rs7799039
A>G and rs2167270 G>A polymorphisms were associated with the
susceptibility of HCC in this population (LEP rs7799039
A>G: GG vs AA: adjusted odds ratio [OR]=2.03, 95% CI, 1.22–3.38, P =0.006 and GG vs AA/AG: adjusted
OR=1.97, 95% CI, 1.20–3.22, P =0.007; rs2167270
G.A: AA vs GG: adjusted OR=2.03, 95% CI, 1.10–3.75, P =0.024 and AA vs GG/GA: adjusted
OR=2.01, 95% CI, 1.10–3.68, P =0.023).
However, LEPR rs6588147 G>A
polymorphism decreased the risk of HCC (GA vs GG: adjusted OR=0.62, 95% CI,
0.45–0.86, P =0.005 and AA/GA vs GG: adjusted
OR=0.64, 95% CI, 0.47–0.88, P =0.007).
Conclusion: This case–control study highlights that LEP rs7799039 A>G and
rs2167270 G>A polymorphisms increase the susceptibility to HCC;
however, LEPR rs6588147 G>A
polymorphism may be a protective factor for HCC in Eastern Chinese Han
population.
