Genetic factors are known to be important in the development of gastric cancer (GC). Prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA) has been shown to be expressed in diffuse-type GC, and PSCA variation is associated with susceptibility to diffuse-type GC in Japanese and Korean populations. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between PSCA gene polymorphisms and GC in a Tibetan population. We analyzed single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the PSCA gene in 196 patients with GC and 246 controls in a Tibetan population, using a polymerase chain reaction/ligase detection reaction test. The rs2294008 C/T polymorphism of the PSCA gene was significantly associated with the susceptibility to GC. The CT genotype was associated with a significantly higher risk of GC when compared with the CC genotype (odds ratio [OR] = 1.50; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-2.23). Patients carrying the T allele had a significantly higher risk for developing GC compared with individuals carrying the C allele (OR = 1.34; 95% CI, 1.00-1.79). Haplotype analyses showed that CA haplotype was associated with a significantly decreased risk of GC when compared with the CG haplotype (OR = 0.47; 95% CI, 0.24-0.93). Our data indicate that PSCA gene polymorphisms may be associated with GC in Tibetans.
