Abstract:To study the association between the MICA gene polymorphism and haplotype diversity with the susceptibility of ovarian cancer. Methods PCR-SSP and PCR-SBT were used to analyze the gene polymorphism and haplotype diversity of MICA in ovarian cancer patients and healthy individuals. Results Eleven MICA allele genes were found in the south China ovarian cancer patients, and the frequency of MICA * 010 was higher in south China ovarian cancer patients than in healthy controls, presenting genic susceptibility to ovarian cancer (OR = 6.43, 95% CI: 3.51, 11.76,p < 0.05). Five MICA-STR alleles were detected, but there was no significant difference between the case and the control. Compared to the control group, the distribution frequency of MICA * 010/010 was significantly high and it is probably a susceptibility genotype to ovarian cancer (OR = 14.82, 95% CI: 1.89, 115.94,p < 0.05). Conclusions MICA allele gene polymorphism and haplotype diversity may be associated with ovarian cancer.
