Abstract
Objective: The objective of the work is to study the association between Resistin Gene polymorphisms and susceptibility of Oral Squamous Cell carcinoma. Methods: In the present study, we scrutinize the connection between four genetic polymorphisms present in RETN gene with the susceptibility, progression, and clinical outcome of OSCC among 200 OSCC patients and 200 healthy controls. Results: The results of the study reveal that among 260 smokers, the risk of developing OSCC is significantly more among the subjects having history of using betel quid in comparison to those who are not habitual users of betel quid. Conclusion: The study reveals that patients with OSCC exhibiting G/A heterozygous genotype of RETN rs3219175 polymorphism have lesser risk for developing high-grade tumor compared to the patients with G/G homozygotes in North Indian population.
