We assessed the association of COX-2 polymorphisms at promoter sites -1195, -765 and at 3'UTR (8473) in 193 patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and 137 normal subjects by PCR-RFLP. Although no significant difference was observed in the frequency of COX-2 -1195G>A, -765G>C and 8473C>T single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) between patients and controls, COX-2 -1195G/A genotype showed higher while -765G/C and 8473C/T showed lower prevalence in patients as compared to normal subjects. Logistic regression analysis of these three polymorphisms revealed a quantitative risk associated with -1195G>A SNP (OR 3.07 at 95%CI) while -765G>C and 8473C>T appeared to be protective. Results of the present study indicate that these three functional variants in the COX-2 regulatory region may contribute to risk modification of tobacco-related oral squamous cell carcinoma in Asian Indians.
