Objective To investigate the relationship of p53 codon 72 polymorphism and susceptibility to gastric cancer in high incidence area of Hexi area of Gansu province. Methods The Arg/Pro polymorphism of p53 gene was detected by real-time PCR in 140 patients with gastric cancer, 110 patients with gastric precancerous lesion and 125 healthy controls; Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection was detected by Warthin-Starry silver method. Results The Pro allele frequencies of p53 gene in gastric cancer cases (0.543) were higher than those in gastric precancerous lesion (0.482) and controls (0.472). The Pro genotype had a more than 1.846 fold increased risk of gastric cancer 〔OR=1.846; 95% 〗CI (1.006-3.387); P =0.046〕. With statistical analysis, the genotype of p53 gene was correlated with location and Laurens histological type ( P < 0.05). A significantly higher risk of gastric cancer was also seen in cases with p53 Pro genotype, food, Hp infection, positive mind factor and positive family history. Conclusion There is a b correlation between the p53 gene codon 72 Arg/Pro polymophism and susceptibility to gastric cancer in Hexi area of Gansu province and the Pro/Pro genotype may be one of the major risk factors in patients with gastric cancer.
