Hepatoblastoma is one of the malignant liver tumors in children. However, genetic mechanisms underpinning the initiation of hepatoblastoma remain largely unclear. The previous study showed that lin-28 homolog B (LIN28B) might play a role in the development of hepatoblastoma. To detect the association between LIN28B gene polymorphisms and hepatoblastoma risk in Chinese children, we conducted a five-center case-control study of 275 hepatoblastoma patients and 1018 cancer-free controls. Four potentially functional polymorphisms were genotyped using the Taqman method. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to evaluate the strength of the associations. We found that the rs314276 C>A polymorphism (AA vs. CC: adjusted OR=2.05, 95% CI=1.36-3.10, P=0.0006; AA vs. CA/CC: adjusted OR=2.11, 95% CI=1.43-3.12, P=0.0002) and rs9404590 T>G (GG vs. TT: adjusted OR=1.89, 95% CI=1.20-3.00, P=0.007; GG vs. TT/TG: adjusted OR=1.87, 95% CI=1.20-2.92, P=0.006) were associated with increased hepatoblastoma risk. Combination analysis of risk genotypes showed that patients with four risk genotypes had a higher chance of developing hepatoblastoma than carriers of 1 to 3 risk genotypes. Stratification analysis showed the significant association between the rs314276 AA genotype and hepatoblastoma risk in both age and sex groups, as well as clinical stages III+IV cases. The rs9404590 GG genotype was associated with hepatoblastoma risk in participants' >= 17 months, in females, and for those with clinical stages III+IV disease. Furthermore, four risk genotypes confer higher hepatoblastoma susceptibility in both age and sex groups, as well as groups with clinical stages III+IV disease. Genotype-based gene expression analysis confirmed that the rs9404590 T>G polymorphism was significantly associated with altered LIN28B gene expression. We further validated our findings using false-positive probability analysis. This finding suggested that LIN28B gene polymorphisms may be associated with an increased predisposition to hepatoblastoma.
