Oncotarget

Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

Its scope is unique. The term "oncotarget" encompasses all molecules, pathways, cellular functions, cell types, and even tissues that can be viewed as targets relevant to cancer as well as other diseases. The term was introduced in the inaugural Editorial, Introducing Oncotarget.

As of January 1, 2022, Oncotarget has shifted to a continuous publishing model. Papers will now be published continuously within yearly volumes in their final and complete form and then quickly released to Pubmed.

ABSTRACT

Objective: This study aimed to explore the association of insulin-like growth factor 1 gene (IGF1) polymorphisms with diabetic retinopathy (DR) in a Chinese Han population.

Methods: Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used for genotyping. Genotype frequencies were compared by chi-square test. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was calculated to express the risk intensity of DR. Linkage disequilibrium between IGF1 polymorphisms was analyzed by Haploview. Serum IGF1 concentration was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and assessed by student’s t test.

Results: AG genotype of rs6218 and TT genotype of rs35767 were significantly associated with the elevated risk of DR (rs6218: OR=1.77, P=0.04; rs35767: OR=2.32, P=0.03) and type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (rs6218: OR=1.92, P=0.00. rs35767: OR=2.29, P=0.02). Only T allele of rs35767 significantly increased the risk of DR (OR=1.45, P=0.04), however, rs6218 (OR=1.92, P=0.00), rs35767 (OR=0.02, P=0.02) and rs5742612 (OR=2.21, P=0.04) showed obvious association with T2DM. Haplotypes were only associated with T2DM, but not DR. Minor allele homozygote of rs35767 was obviously correlated with serum IGF1 level.

Conclusion: IGF1 rs6218 and rs35767 polymorphisms contribute to the risk of DR. IGF1 rs35767 polymorphism may participate in the regulation of serum IGF1 concentration in DR.
