Abstract
We assessed the association of functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in FAS -1377, -670 and FAS ligand (FASL) -844 promoters in 139 oral cancer patients and 126 normal subjects by PCR-RFLP. In logistic regression analysis FAS -1377 GA genotype appeared to marginally increase the risk while FASL -844 TC genotype appeared as low risk factor. The combined genotypes FAS -1377 GA or AA and FASL -844 TT (p <0.03), and FAS -670 AG or GG and FASL -844 TT (p <0.007) appeared to double the risk. FAS and FASL gene-gene and gene-environment interactions seems to modulate susceptibility/resistance to tobacco-related oral cancer in Indians.
