Recent studies have identified a negative correlation between serum levels of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) and the risk of lung cancer. In this study, polymorphisms present at the -1590 site of the IGFBP-3 promoter were evaluated in relation to lung cancer risk in a Chinese Han population. A total of 248 nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases and 29 small cell lung cancer cases were compared with 252 matched, healthy controls. Polymerase chain reaction-based restriction fragment length polymorphism assays were used to detect polymorphisms present. The A/A genotype and an A allele were both associated with an increased risk of NSCLC after being adjusted for age and gender (adjusted odds ratio?=?2.296, 95% confidence interval?=?1.133-4.655; and adjusted odds ratio?=?1.390, 95% confidence interval?=?1.042-1.854, respectively). In conclusion, the A/A genotype and A allele of the IGFBP-3 promoter -1590 site may represent a genetic risk factor for NSCLC, with the A/A genotype being associated with a higher risk for squamous cell carcinoma than adenocarcinoma.
