摘要

Background

Neuroblastoma, a neuroendocrine tumor of the sympathetic ganglia, is the leading solid extracranial malignancy in children. The lnc-AMFR-1:1 rs4784659 polymorphism in long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) has been reported to be associated with susceptibility to several cancers, but its role in neuroblastoma remains unclear.

Methods

We studied 402 patients with neuroblastoma and 473 cancer-free controls from Jiangsu Province to assess the association between lnc-AMFR-1:1 rs4784659 C > T and neuroblastoma susceptibility using odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Results

Analysis under any of the genetic models tested failed to reveal a significant link between the rs4784659 C > T polymorphism and neuroblastoma risk (CT vs. CC: adjusted OR = 0.96, 95% CI = 0.73–1.28, P = 0.799; TT vs. CC: adjusted OR = 1.40, 95% CI = 0.77–2.53, P = 0.273; TT/CT vs. CC: adjusted OR = 1.01, 95% CI = 0.77–1.33, P = 0.924; TT vs. CC/CT: adjusted OR = 1.41, 95% CI = 0.79–2.54, P = 0.245). Moreover, stratified analysis revealed no significant associations.

Conclusion

This study provided no evidence of an association between the lnc-AMFR-1:1 rs4784659 C > T polymorphism and the risk of neuroblastoma. These findings warrant validation in larger and more diverse populations.
