Abstract
- The prognostic value of the genotype of the PRSS1 gene in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains poorly understood. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between the PRSS1 genotype and clinicopathological characteristics of patients with PDAC, as well as to explore the prognostic significance of the PRSS1 genotype in patients with PDAC. A total of 124 patients with PDAC patients were included in the current study and the PRSS1 genotype of the enrolled patients was determined by the polymerase chain reaction. Associations between the PRSS1 genotype and clinicopathological characteristics were subsequently analyzed using the Chi-square test. The impact of the PRSS1 genotype on patient prognosis was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and predictive factors of overall survival (OS) time were analyzed by Cox regression. A total of 56 patients with PDAC (45.16%) had the T/C PRSS1 genotype, which was associated with large tumor sizes (P=0.027) and higher tumor node metastasis (TNM) stages (P=0.041). Following a median follow-up of 19 months, the T/C genotype of PRSS1 genotype was associated with a shorter OS time (P=0.037) compared with the C/C or T/T PRSS1 genotypes. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that PRSS1 genotype was identified to be an independent prognostic factor for the OS time of patients with PDAC. The results obtained in the current study suggested that the PRSS1 genotype, as well as factors such as the serum level of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 and the TNM stage, may act as independent prognostic factors for the OS time of patients with PDAC.
