A Prospective Evaluation of the Association between a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism rs3775291 in Toll-Like Receptor 3 and Breast Cancer Relapse
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) regulate the balance between the innate and adaptive immune responses. Missense single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TLRs might be functional and thus influence the risks of chronic infection and cancer development. Here, we investigated the association of two missens...

Summary: | Toll-like receptors (TLRs) regulate the balance between the innate and adaptive immune responses. Missense single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TLRs might be functional and thus influence the risks of chronic infection and cancer development. Here, we investigated the association of two missense SNPs, rs3775291 (c.1234G>A) in the TLR3 gene and rs4833095 (c.743T>C) in the TLR1 gene, with relapse-free survival (RFS) in a cohort of prospectively observed breast cancer patients.
In this prospective observational study, rs3775291 in TLR3 and rs4833095 in TLR1 were genotyped in 715 patients with primary breast cancer in a Chinese population.
Univariate analysis revealed that the patients with the AA genotype of rs3775291 had a shorter RFS compared with those carrying the G allele in the recessive model (P |
