STUDY ON STAT6 rs324015 POLYMORPHISM IN HEPATITIS B VIRUS-RELATED HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA PATIENTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To determine the genotype frequency of the STAT6 rs324015 polymorphism and its association with cancer risk in hepatitis B virus (HBV) -related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study on 118 HBV-related HCC patients, compared to 86 HBV-related cirrhosis patients and 195 healthy people at 108 Military Central Hospital, Military Hospital 103, and Can Tho General Hospital from July 2017 to August 2020. Polymorphism analysis of the STAT6 rs324015 gene was conducted from peripheral blood samples of subjects using the Sanger sequencing method at Apical Scientific Sequencing Company (Malaysia). Results: The AG/GA heterozygous genotype of the STAT6 rs324015 polymorphism accounted for the highest rate in HCC patients at 51.7%, higher than the corresponding index in the cirrhosis group at 39.5%, and healthy people (48.2%); the GG genotype was the highest in cirrhosis patients (40.7%), the difference was not statistically significant, p > 0.05. Conclusion: STAT6 rs324015 polymorphism is not associated with cancer risk in patients with HBV-related HCC.
