Background: Lung cancer is one of the most serious malignant tumors
endangering human health and life. This study focused on evaluating the
association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the glutaminase
(GLS) and lung cancer susceptibility in the Chinese Han population.
Methods: A total of 684 lung cancer patients and 684 healthy individuals
were enrolled. Five GLS SNPs (rs143584207 C/A, rs117985587 T/C,
rs74271715 G/T, rs2355570 G/A, and rs6713444 A/G) were screened as candidate
genetic loci. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals
(95% CIs) were calculated to assess the association between GLS SNPs
and lung cancer susceptibility. False-positive report probability (FPRP) analysis
further verified whether the positive results deserved attention. Finally, the
multi-factor dimensionality reduction (MDR) method was applied to analyze the
interactions between SNPs. Results: The overall analysis revealed that
GLS rs143584207 and rs6713444 were significantly associated with lung
cancer susceptibility. The subgroup and clinical information analyses further
revealed that GLS rs143584207 and rs6713444 could remarkably reduce lung
cancer susceptibility in different subgroups (age
