Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between the EGF (rs4444903) gene polymorphism and the risk of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) in Egyptian patients, suggesting that specific genotypes (GG and AG) are associated with higher risks compared to the AA genotype.
- Results indicate that the G allele is significantly connected to increased CCA risk, though its association is less clear in certain genetic models.
- Overall, while there is evidence that the EGF rs4444903 polymorphism may contribute to CCA development, it does not appear to impact the disease's severity.
Aim Of The Study: We aimed to evaluate the association of microRNA-499 rs3746444 polymorphism and biliary atresia (BA) risk and its correlation with clinic-pathologic features of BA.
Material And Methods: This study was performed on 300 Egyptian children (100 BA cases, 100 cases with cholestatic liver diseases other than BA and 100 healthy controls). Routine laboratory investigations, clinical examination and abdominal ultrasound were done.
