When we stratified the age of disease onset by these genotypes, we found that all five SNPs were more or less associated with age of onset of ovarian cancer. For example, the rs2623047 G>A showed an association with age of

disease onset (Table 3); the patients with the AA genotype had a mean age of www.selleckchem.com/products/cx-5461.html onset of 65.0 ± 9.9 years; and those with the AG genotype had 61.2 ± 10.8 years, while those with the rs2623047 GG showed 56.8 ± 10.7 year age of onset (P = 0.027 for the ANOVA test). The trend test showed a P value of 0.007 for a decreasing age with the G allele in a dose-dependent manner (Table 3). The rs13264163 AG heterozygotes also showed the youngest age of onset among all AZ 628 cost genotypes of rs13264163A>G (P = 0.016) (Table 3). We also found that the early age of disease onset was associated with the G allele of rs6990375 G>A [rs6990375 GG: 60.0 ± 10.7 years; rs6990375 GA: 61.8 ± 10.6 years; rs6990375 AA: 69.1 ± 9.0 years (P = 0.013)] (Table 3). As we noticed in the LD analysis, rs6990375 G>A had a r 2> 0.8 with

rs3802278 G>A and rs3087714 C>T; therefore, we also observed the significant trends in differences of age of disease onset among genotypes of rs3802278 G>A and rs3087714 C>T (P trend = 0.021 and 0.041, respectively), even though the differences were not significant in ANOVA tests (P = 0.069 and 0.119).
