| Abstract | DNA-methyltransferase (DNMT)-3A plays a crucial role in embryonic development and aberrant DNA methylation in carcinogenesis. Polymorphisms of the DNMT3A gene may influence its enzymatic activity and its contribution to susceptibility to cancer. This study evaluated the association of DNMT3A rs36012910 A>G with susceptibility to gastric cancer (GC) in a Chinese population. Genomic DNA was extracted from samples taken from 340 patients with GC and 251 healthy control subjects. The genotype frequency of DNMT3A rs36012910 A>G in all subjects was detected by polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism and confirmed by sequencing. Stratification analyses were used to study subgroups by age and gender and to evaluate the association of rs36012910 A>G polymorphism with genetic susceptibility to GC. All patients and control individuals were successfully genotyped for the DNMT3A rs36012910 A>G polymorphism. The frequency of DNMT3A rs36012910 allele G is 3.39 % in healthy individuals and 7.78 % in GC patients, respectively. The rs36012910 AG genotype was significantly more common in the GC group than in the controls, although the rs36012910 GG genotype was only one case in GC patients. Further stratification indicated that AG+GG genotypes were associated with susceptibility to GC in males older than 60, but this polymorphism has no significant association with GC susceptibility in females. Male individuals who carried AG+GG genotypes had a 2.362-fold increased risk of GC compared to those who carried the AA genotype. The rs36012910 allele G was associated with an increased risk of GC compared to the rs36012910 allele A. This is the first report to investigate the distribution and evaluate the association of a rare SNP in DNMT3A with genetic susceptibility to GC. DNMT3A rs36012910 A>G might become a potential biomarker for use in GC prediction, although further studies in larger groups and different populations are needed for confirmation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
