Objective. The CASES gene plays a central role in the apoptotic pathway and is therefore a plausible cancer susceptibility gene. However, the precise role of the CASES gene in epithelial ovarian cancer carcinogenesis is unclear. Therefore, we analyzed the correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes in CASES and the risk and clinical characteristics of epithelial ovarian cancer (FOC) in the Chinese population.Subjects and methods. Eight tag SNPs were identified using the MassARRAY system to genotype 37 genetic polymorphisms around and in the CASP8 gene in 100 unrelated, healthy females. Then. a case-control study of 218 FOC patients and 285 controls who were matched on residence age and race was conducted using these 8 tag SNPs.Results. The risk of developing EOC was significantly decreased in association with CASP8 rs3834129 ins > del (odds ratio (OR)(del/del) =0.129, 95% confidence interval (95% Cl): 0.038-0.439; OR(ins/del) = 0.769, 95% Cl, 0.534-1.108), rs3769827 T > C (OR(c/c) = 0.187, 95% Cl: 0.070-0.500: OR(T/C)= 0.729, 95% Cl: 0.505-1.052). rs6704688 C > T (OR(T/T)-= 0.344,95% Cl, 0.168-0.707: OR(C/T)= 0.802,95% Cl. 0.552-1.166) and with the del-C-T haplotype of these 3 SNPs (OR = 0.615, 95% Cl: 0.453-0.8363). Moreover, a notably later onset was significantly associated with the rs3834129 ins/del / del/del and the rs3769827 T/C + C/C genotypes (P < 0.0001).Conclusions. Genetic variants of the CASE8 gene protect against EOC carcinogenesis and delay the age of EOC onset. Furthermore, these protective effects may be due to the dysfunctional expression of caspase-8 caused by the -652 6 N clel variant in the promoter. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
