However, the detailed molecular mechanisms underlying these processes are poorly understood. Recent studies have shown that lncRNAs play important roles in carcinogenesis and progression of CRC. The lncRNA growth arrest special 5 (GAS5), was previously identified to be down-regulated and functions as a tumor suppressor gene in many kinds of cancers. In current two-stage, case-control study, we systematically evaluated the potential role of lncRNA GAS5 and its genetic variation rs145204276 in the development and metastasis process of CRC in a Chinese population. We found the allele del of rs145204276 was significantly associated with 21% decreased risk of CRC (OR=0.79; 95% CI=0.70-0.89; P value = 5.21×10 -5 ). Compared with the genotype ins/ins, both the genotype ins/del (OR=0.78; 95% CI=0.68-0.91) and del/del (OR=0.64; 95% CI=0.49-0.84) showed decreased susceptibility. For both in colon and rectum cancers, the associations kept statistically significant (OR=O.78 and 0.80, while P value = 4.56×10 -4 , and 3.80×10 -3 , respectively). The results also showed that the carriers of allele del are less likely to get lymph node metastasis (OR=0.80; 95% CI=0.68-0.95; P value = 0.010). Taken together, our findings provided strong evidence for the hypothesis that GAS5 rs145204276 were significantly associated with the susceptibility and progression of CRC.
