Aim: In this study, we examined the polymorphisms of PRNCR1 (rs13252298, rs1456315), PAX8-AS1 (rs4848320) MEG3 (rs7158663), PTENP1 (rs7853346) genes in BC patients and compared it with healthy individuals in an Iranian population.
Method: The assessment of genetic polymorphisms was conducted using PCR - RFLP and PCR-Tetra ARMS methods.
Results & conclusion: The results showed that Codominant, Dominant and G allele of rs13252298 polymorphism and Dominant of rs1456315 polymorphism are correlated with increased risk of BC. The CT and TT genotype and Dominant and T allele of rs4848320 polymorphism is also a risk factor in the study population. The genotype AA, dominant, recessive and A allele of rs7158663 polymorphism and also CC genotype of rs7853346 polymorphism increase the risk of BC.
