Previous researches have shown that overexpression and amplification of the AURKA gene could induce multiple human malignancies, with which the connection of CNS tumor susceptibility has not been extensively studied.
Material And Methods: In this study, we assessed whether and to what extent AURKA gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs1047972 C > T, rs2273535 T > A, rs8173 G > C) were associated with CNS tumor susceptibility, based on a case-control analysis in 191 CNS tumor patients and 248 controls.
Gliomas are the most prevalent brain tumors among children and adolescents. The occurrence and development of various malignant tumors is closely related with gene, but its relationship with glioma susceptibility has not been widely discovered. In this case-control study, we conducted four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs3811464 G>A, rs3811463 T>C, rs34787247 G>A, and rs11247957 G>A) of gene to investigate whether they increase the risk of glioma.
