Popis: | Oral cancer is a dreadful disease with a wide variation in geographical distribution. In order to identify some useful biomarkers for the disease prognosis, the present study assessed the influence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in cell cycle genes on survival in a well-annotated set of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The study examined 12 sequence variants or SNPs in selected cell cycle genes, with prognostic outcomes in 311 oral cancer patients. Our analysis showed that SNPs in cyclin D1:rs9344 and retinoblastoma:rs427686 genes showed a strong correlation with disease-free survival. In addition, the cumulative effect of these SNPs significantly and independently predicts the survival. Thus, the current study identified genotypes (SNP signature), which can be used as novel prognostic biomarkers to stratify patients based on disease-free survival and therefore maybe helpful in therapeutic decision-making. |
