Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the progesterone receptor (PGR) gene have been associated with the risk of endometrial cancer. However, no study has systematically evaluated the role of the PGR gene in endometrial carcinogenesis. Exposure information and DNA samples collected in the Shanghai Endometrial Cancer Study, a population-based case-control study of 1,204 incident cases and 1,212 age frequency-matched population controls, were used in this study. Seven tag SNPs were identified for the PGR gene plus the 5 kb flanking regions using the Han Chinese data from the HapMap project with a pairwise r2 ≥ 0.90. These 7 SNPs captured 92% of SNPs in the region with a pairwise r2 ≥ 0.90 or 100% of SNPs with a pairwise r2 ≥ 0.80. Genotyping of polymorphisms was performed by using the Affymetrix MegAllele Targeted Genotyping System. A logistic regression model was employed to compute adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Of seven tag SNPs assessed, two polymorphisms in the 3’ flanking region of the PGR gene, rs11224561 and rs471767, were associated with the risk of endometrial cancer. Genotype CC of SNP rs11224561 was associated with decreased risk (OR=0.68, 95% CI=0.50-0.92) compared to the TT genotype. Carrying the G allele of the rs471767 SNP was also associated with decreased risk, although the association was not statistically significant (OR=0.78, 95%CI=0.59-1.04 and OR=0.32, 95%CI=0.03-3.05 for the AG and GG genotypes, respectively, compared with the homozygote AA). Our findings suggest that polymorphisms in the 3’ flanking region of the PGR gene may be associated with the risk of endometrial cancer.
