Abstract

Background: The potential relation of methyltransferase-like gene polymorphisms and epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains unclear.

Methods: Five SNPs (METTL5 rs3769767 A>G, METTL16 rs1056321 T>C, METTL5 rs10190853 G>A, METTL5 rs3769768 G>A and METTL16 rs11869256 A>G) of methyltransferase-like genes was selected trough NCBI dbSNP database. Two hundred and eighty-eight cases and 361 controls were enrolled from three hospitals in South China to conduct the case-control study. Genomic DNA was abstracted from peripheral blood and genotyped through a TapMan assay. Stratified analysis was conducted to explore the association of rs10190853, rs3769768, rs11869256 genotype and EOC susceptibility. The combination analysis was adopted to evaluate the relation between inferred haplotypes of the METTL5, METTL16 genes and EOC risk. Multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) analysis was performed to verify the interaction of SNPs.

Results: Among the five analyzed SNPs, METTL5 rs3769768 AA exhibited a significant association with increased EOC risk, while METTL5 rs10190853 GA, METTL16 rs11869256 GA was certified to decrease the susceptibility of EOC. The stratified analysis further revealed the harmful effect of METTL5 rs3769768 AA in EOC patients. On the contrary, METTL16 rs11869256 AG/GG and METTL5 rs10190853 AA showed the reduced risk of EOC in patients of specific subgroups. Combination analysis identified that haplotypes AAA highly connected with reduced risk of EOC. MDR analysis revealed that these SNPs existed no specific interactions.

Conclusion: METTL5 rs3769768 was related to increased risk of EOC. METTL5 rs10190853 and METTL16 rs11869256 decreased the susceptibility in EOC. METTL5 and METTL16 could be potential target of molecular therapy and prognosis markers.
