Purpose: To investigate the correlation between metastasis of colon cancer and the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs2555639 in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)+-dependent 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) (rs2555639).
Methods: We investigated the genotyping of peripheral blood genomic DNA in patients using the TaqMan probe method. The relationship between the genotype of 15-PGDH (rs2555639) and metastasis of colon cancer was analyzed.
Results: We noticed that rs2555639 TT polymorphism was significantly correlated with the susceptibility to colon cancer metastasis. Also, in the stratified analysis, we found similar results.
Conclusion: Our data suggested that the rs2555639 T allele is associated with increased risk of metastasis of colon cancer, which can be used as an indicator for colon cancer metastasis.
