BACKGROUND:Thyroid carcinoma accounts for a large part of endocrine neoplasia and the relationship between inflammation and thyroid cancer has been validated previously. Two known receptors of interleukin (IL)-1, IL-1 receptor 1 (IL1R1) and IL-1 receptor 2 (IL1R2), are implicated in numerous inflammatory responses. The present study aimed to assess the genetic polymorphisms of IL1R1 and IL1R2 with respect to thyroid cancer in the Chinese Han population. METHODS:Eleven single nucleotide polymorphisms of IL1R1 and IL1R2 were identified among 241 thyroid cancer patients and 463 controls using the Agena MassARRY method (http://www.internationalgenome.org). Genetic models and haplotype analysis were carried out to evaluate the significant links between the variants and the risk of thyroid cancer. RESULTS:Logistic regression analyses revealed significant associations of rs3917225, rs2072472 and rs11674595 with susceptibility to thyroid cancer. Haplotype analysis presented two blocks of IL1R2, whereas no statistical significance existed. CONCLUSIONS:These findings suggested that rs3917225, rs2072472 and rs11674595 are risk factors associated with the development of thyroid carcinoma in Chinese Han people.
