Outline of Final Research Achievements

Genetic factors may contribute to the survival of gallbladder cancer (GBC) patients. We aimed to identify SNPs involved in the survival times of GBC patients. A total of 96 GBC patients in Chile were analyzed using a Cancer SNP Panel (Illumina Inc.) that contained 1,421 SNPs in 408 cancer-related genes. SNPs associated with the cancer-specific survival were screened by log-rank test. Six SNPs were identified to have statistically significant association with cancer-specific survival. The cancer-specific survival times of patients grouped according to the number of risk genotypes of 6 SNPs differed significantly (0-1 vs 2-3 vs 4-6 risk genotypes; P=3.05x10-10). The number of risk genotypes was independently associated with survival of GBC patients in a multivariate analysis that included age and stage (P=2.26x10-8).
