SummaryThe purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of MCP-1 and its receptor CCR2 gene polymorphisms on the susceptibility and clinicopathological characteristics of oral cancer, as well as the synergistic effect between these gene polymorphisms and well-known risk factors including alcohol, tobacco, and areca consumptions. Using polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP) technique for polymorphism analysis, 344 healthy controls and 216 oral cancer patients were recruited to reveal a significant association between V64I CCR2 gene polymorphism and oral cancer susceptibility. After adjusting for other confounders, individuals with GA (AOR = 1.84; 95%CI = 1.10–3.20) or at least one A allele (AOR = 1.78; 95%CI = 1.05–3.02) had a higher risk for oral cancer, compared to GG genotypes. Moreover, results also revealed that for subjects with GA or at least one A allele of V64I CCR2 gene polymorphism, those exposed to environmental risk factors possessed a significantly higher risk for oral cancer than those unexposed subjects. Therefore, genetic polymorphism of CCR2-64I may contribute to the susceptibility to oral cancer.
