Background and aim: PSCA is a tissue specific tumor suppressor or oncogene which has been found to be associated with several human tumors including gallbladder cancer. It is considered to be involved in the cell-proliferation inhibition and/or cell-death induction activity. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the role of PSCA gene polymorphisms in gallbladder cancer risk in North Indian population. Methodology: A total of 405 gallbladder cancer patients and 247 healthy controls were included in the case-control study for risk prediction. We examined the association of two functional SNPs, rs2294008 and rs2978974 in PSCA gene by genotyping using Taqman allelic discrimination assays. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS software, version 17. Linkage disequilibrium and haplotype analysis was done with the help of SNPstats software. FDR test was used to correct for multiple comparisons. Results: No significant associations of rs2294008 and rs2978974 genetic variants of the PSCA gene were found with GBC risk at allele, genotype or haplotype levels. Stratifying the subjects on the basis of gallstone also did not show any significant result. However, on gender stratification, we found a significant association of T-rs2294008-G(rs2978974) haplotype with higher risk of GBC in females (FDR Pcorr = 0.021, OR = 1.6). In contrary, T-rs2294008-A (rs2978974) haplotype conferred significant lower risk in males (FDR Pcorr = 0.013; OR = 0.25). Conclusions: These findings suggest that PSCA genetic variants may have a significant effect on GBC susceptibility in a gender specific manner. (c) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
