Objectives: This study aimed to explore the effect of AXIN2 and MMP7 polymorphisms on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) susceptibility; in addition, the interaction between gene polymorphisms and environment was also displayed. Methods: The genotyping was conducted by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in 102 patients with NSCLC and 120 healthy controls. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated to assess the relevance strength of AXIN2 and MMP7 polymorphisms with NSCLC. The x(2) test was used to compare to the frequencies difference of genotypes and alleles in cases and controls and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) test. The haplotype and interaction analyses were performed by haploview and MDR software, respectively. Results: The genotype frequencies of all polymorphisms in the control group conformed to HWE. GG genotype frequency of AXIN2 rs2240307 polymorphism was significantly higher in cases than controls (P=0.041). Similarly, rs2240308 in AXIN2 gene was also increased the susceptibility to NSCLC remarkably (OR=2.412, 95% CI=1.025-5.674). What's more, haplotype A-G-G in AXIN2 might play a protective role in NSCLC (OR=0.462, 95% CI=0.270-0.790). Genotype GG and allele G in MMP7 rs11568818 polymorphism were associated with the risk of NSCLC development (P=0.024 and P=0.038). In addition, the interaction existed in gene polymorphsims and environment (P=0.011). Conclusion: AXIN2 rs2240307 and rs2240308 and MMP7 rs11568818 polymorphisms might be the independent risk factors for NSCLC and showed the interaction with environmental factor.
