Suppressor of Cytokine Signaling-3 Gene Polymorphisms and the Risk of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Chronic Hepatitis C Patients in Egypt

BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) contributes significantly to cancer mortalities worldwide. The association between a specific single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) located within the SOCS3 gene as well as the likelihood of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression in individuals with chronic hepatitis C virus (CHC) was found to be significant. We aimed to study SOCS3 gene polymorphisms at rs4969168 and rs4969170and HCC susceptibility in individuals with CHC.

METHODS: The current prospective study involved 111 subjects divided in to three groups (HCC, HCV with and with no cirrhosis, and apparently healthy individuals). Tumor staging was done using BCLC staging system. SOCS3 (rs4969168 and rs4969170) gene polymorphisms' analysis was done utilizing real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) (via DNA extracted from all subjects). All subjects underwent a complete history, medical examination, and laboratory and radiological data collection.

RESULTS: Compared to healthy controls, homozygous AA genotypes and heterozygous GA genotypes were substantially overrepresented in  HCC patients as well as those with CHCaccompanied by cirrhosis.AFP, smoking, glucose level, and AA genotype of rs4969170 might be critical significant parameters for HCC development.

CONCLUSION: SOCS3 gene polymorphisms at rs4969168 and rs4969170 are associated with HCC and liver fibrosis progression in the Egyptian population with CHC infection.
