Introduction: TGFBRI *6A, a functionally polymorphic allele in the transforming growth factor beta receptor 1 gene (TGFBRI), has been hypothesized to increase risk of various cancers. However, little has been documented about connection of this variant with lung cancer.Methods: In an attempt to explore whether the TGFBRI*6A is associated with lung cancer, we performed genotyping followed by sequencing in 252 patients with lung cancer and 250 healthy controls.Results: The frequency for the heterozygote 9A/6A is 13.9% in cases compared with 12.4% in controls, and the odds ratio is 1. 14 (95% confidence interval: 0.68-1.91), which is not statistically significant (p = 0.62), suggesting that TGFBRI*6A could not be a cancer susceptibility factor for Chinese patients with lung cancer.Conclusions: We have no evidence to support the hypothesis that TGFBRI*64 is associated with lung cancer.
