Abstract

The aim of the present study was to determine whether there is an association between the long non‑coding RNA (lncRNA) prostate cancer‑associated non‑coding RNA 1 (PRNCR1) polymorphisms and prostate cancer (PCa) risk in a sample of the Iranian population. This case‑control study was performed on 178 patients with PCa and 180 subjects with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Genotyping assay was performed by polymerase chain reaction‑restriction fragment length polymorphism. The findings indicated that the GG genotype of the rs13252298 A>G variant significantly increased the risk of PCa (odds ratio=3.49, 95% confidence interval: 1.79‑6.81, P=0.0001) compared with AA+AG. As regards the rs1456315 G>A polymorphism, the AG genotype and G allele significantly increased the risk of PCa. As regards the rs7841060 T>G variant, the findings demonstrated that this TG genotype and the G allele significantly increased the risk of PCa. The rs7007694 T>C variant was not found to be associated with the risk of PCa. Haplotype analysis indicated that GTGA and GTGG significantly increased the risk of PCa compared with rs1456315A/rs7007694T/rs7841060T/rs13252298G (ATTG). The PRNCR1 variants were not found to be significantly associated with the clinicopathological characteristics of PCa patients. In conclusion, our findings support an association between PRNCR1 variants and the risk of PCa in a sample of the Iranian population.
