Abstract

Mouse double minute 4 (MDM4) is a critical negative regulator of the tumor suppressor p53. The results of studies have revealed that an MDM4 polymorphism (rs1563828) may contribute to the earlier onset of several malignant diseases. However, the correlation between this polymorphism and nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) susceptibility has not been explored. We performed a case-control study with 210 NPC patients and 200 healthy controls. Significant associations were found when comparing the age of onset of NPC according to the rs1563828 genotype (P=0.01). The average age of onset of NPC in patients with the TT, CC and CT genotypes was 39.3, 48.2 and 45.5 years, respectively. Homozygous variant (TT) carriers developed NPC at an earlier age than homozygous (CC) carriers, such that the age of onset was accelerated by 8.9 years (P=0.002). Our data suggest that rs1563828 is a modifier of the age of onset of NPC in the population studied. The age of onset for NPC with TT homozygotes was earlier than CC carriers.
