ABSTRACT

Aims: To investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene polymorphisms, additional gene- gene and gene- smoking interactions with bladder cancer risk.

Results: Bladder cancer risk was significantly higher in carriers of the rs699947- A allele within VEGF gene than those with rs699947- CC genotype (CA+ AA versus CC), adjusted OR (95%CI) = 1.70 (1.16–2.31), and higher in carriers of the rs833052- A allele of within VEGF gene than those with rs833052- CC genotype (CA+ AA versus CC), adjusted OR (95%CI) = 1.65 (1.23–2.12). GMDR analysis indicated a potential interaction between rs2010963 and smoking on bladder cancer risk. Current smokers with rs2010963- GC+CC genotype within VEGF gene have the highest bladder cancer risk, compared to never smokers with rs2010963- GG genotype within VEGF gene, OR (95%CI) = 3.25 (1.71–4.83). Haplotype containing the rs2010963- C and rs833052- A alleles were associated with a statistically increased bladder cancer risk, OR (95%CI) = 2.21 (1.12–3.42).

Materials and Methods: Generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR) was used to screen the best interaction combination among SNPs and smoking. Logistic regression was performed to investigate association of 6 SNPs within VEGF gene, additional gene- gene and gene- smoking interaction with bladder cancer risk.

Conclusions: We found that the A allele of rs699947 and the A allele of rs833052 within VEGF gene, interaction between rs2010963 and smoking, haplotype containing the rs2010963- C and rs833052- A alleles were all associated with increased bladder cancer risk.
