BACKGROUND/AIM: The aim of the present study was to investigate the clinical significance of 7 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), endothelin receptor type A (EDNRA), nibrin (NBS1) and Fas cell surface death receptor (FAS) genes in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).

PATIENTS AND METHODS: Genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood specimens of 60 patients. Genotyping of 4 VEGFA polymorphisms, namely VEGFA -1154 G/A (rs1570360), -2578 A/C (rs699947), -1498 C/T (rs833061) and +936 C/T (rs3025039), as well as EDNRA SNP p.His323 (rs5333), NBS1 p.E185Q (rs1805794) and FAS -671 A/G (rs1800682) was performed by using Sanger sequencing.

RESULTS: The VEGFA +936 CC genotype was more frequent in tumors with bilateral infiltration of pterygoid plates compared to those with ipsilateral (76.9% vs. 69.6%, p=0.008) and no infiltration of pterygoid plates (76.9% vs. 68.8%, p=0.023). VEGFA -2578, VEGFA -1154 and VEGFA +936 were significantly associated with infiltration to the pterygoid processes (p=0.011, p=0.041 and p=0.032, respectively). EDNRA H323H TT genotype was marginally associated with infiltration to the ipsilateral medial pterygoid muscles (p=0.045). A trend towards longer overall survival was observed for VEGFA -2578 CC as compared to AC (HR=0.24, p=0.060).

CONCLUSION: The studied VEGFA SNPs seem to be associated with the local extension of the NPC and maybe with the clinical outcome of this patient group.
