Abstract

Introduction: Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common cancers affecting men globally. Although PER3 has been suggested as a risk factor for cancer development, there are few reports elucidating the relationship between PER3 and PCa. We investigated the association between PER3 polymorphisms (rs2640908 and VNTR) and susceptibility to PCa in the Japanese population.

Methods: Eighty three patients with PCa and 122 controls participated in this study. We analyzed rs2640908 and VNTR polymorphisms by using PCR–Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR–RFLP).

Results: Compared to the C/C genotype with the rs2640908 polymorphism, the T/T (OR: 0.35, 95% CI: 0.15–0.81, P = 0.02) and C/T + T/T (OR: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.24–0.88, P = 0.02) genotypes had a significantly lower risk of PCa. TT (OR: 0.29, 95% CI: 0.10–0.77, P = 0.02) and CT + TT (OR: 0.47, 95% CI: 0.23–0.97, P = 0.04) also had significant protection against PCa in the smoker group. Significantly, we observed an association between smoking and rs2640908 polymorphism in this study. However, no association between the VNTR polymorphisms and PCa was detected.

Conclusions: Our results suggest that PER3 rs2640908 polymorphisms influence an individual’s susceptibility to PCa.
