NOT PON1 L55M BUT ACE I/D VARIANT MIGHT BE A RISK FACTOR FOR OSCC IN THE TURKISH POPULATION
Objective: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) covers more than 90% of the malignant neoplasms in the mouth. It has been shown that angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and paraoxonase (PON1) gene variants were associated with several cancers. Therefore, we investigated the possible association betwe...

| Summary: | Objective: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) covers more than 90% of the malignant neoplasms in the mouth. It has been shown that angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and paraoxonase (PON1) gene variants were associated with several cancers. Therefore, we investigated the possible association between ACE insertion/deletion (I/D)-PON1 L55M variants and OSCC development risk in a Turkish population. Material and Methods: A total of 155 people (104 healthy controls and 51 OSCC patients) made up the study population. These variants were genotyped using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and/or restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) assays. Results: ACE I/D allele frequencies were significantly different between patients and controls. The ACE D allele was higher in the patient group compared to the control group, while the I allele was more prevalent in controls than patients (p˂0.0000001). When the patients and controls were examined based on the II+ID vs. DD genotype and II: ID vs. DD, a statistically significant correlation was found (p = 0.0000001 and p = 0.008691, respectively). The genotype and allele distribution of PON1 L55M did not significantly differ between the groups. Conclusion: In conclusion, our study showed that the ACE I/D variant D allele is a risk factor for the development of OSCC in Turkey. This study contributes to more studies to confirm that ACE I/D plays a role as a genetic risk factor for OSCC. |
