Methods: 70 BC patients and 72 healthy subjects were enrolled in the study. Rs569550 and rs592373 polymorphisms were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated by the chi-squared test to assess the relationship between LSP1 polymorphisms and BC risk. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) and haplotypes were also analyzed by HaploView software. Results: Genotype distribution of the control was in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE). The homo- zygous genotype TT and T allele of rs569550 could significantly increase the risk of BC (TT vs. GG: OR=3.17, 95% CI=1.23-8.91; T vs. G: OR=1.63, 95% CI=1.01-2.64). For rs592373, mutation homozygous genotype CC and C allele were significantly associated with BC susceptibility (CC vs. TT: OR=4.45, 95% CI=1.38-14.8; C vs. T: OR=1.70, 95% CI=1.03-2.81). LD and haplotypes analysis of rs569550 and rs592373 polymorphisms showed that T-C haplotype was a risk factor for BC (T-C vs. G-T: OR=1.74, 95% CI=1.04-2.92). Conclusion: LSP1 rs569550 and rs592373 poly- morphisms are both risk factors for BC.
