    ObjectivesEsophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a malignant tumor with high incidence and mortality rates worldwide. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between LINC-PINT polymorphisms and ESCC risk in the Hainan Han population.MethodsA total of 391 patients with ESCC and 452 healthy controls were enrolled to evaluate the effect of LINC-PINT SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) on ESCC susceptibility. Associations were evaluated by calculating odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Multifactor dimensionality reduction analysis was performed to explore the association between SNP-SNP interactions and ESCC susceptibility. We further determined the correlation between clinical indicators and SNP in patients with ESCC.ResultsOur study showed that rs157916 (OR 0.63, p = 0.011) and rs157928 (OR 0.80, p = 0.021) were associated with a decreased risk of ESCC. Stratified analysis indicated that rs157916 could decrease the risk of ESCC in people aged >64 years, in males, and non-drinkers (OR 0.58, p = 0.042; OR 0.58, p = 0.010; OR 0.62, p = 0.025, respectively). Rs16873842 was related to a decreased risk of ESCC in males (OR 0.70, p = 0.015). Rs7801029 was associated with ESCC risk in females (OR 0.39, p = 0.033) and non-drinkers (OR 0.68, p = 0.040). Rs7781295 decreased the ESCC risk in smokers (OR 0.58, p = 0.046) and drinkers (OR 0.58, p = 0.046). In addition, rs157928 played a protective role in ESCC risk in females (OR 0.39, p = 0.033) and non-smokers (OR 0.32, p = 0.006). Additionally, the best predictive model for ESCC was a combination of rs157916, rs16873842, rs7801029, rs7781295, rs28662387, and rs157928.ConclusionOur study revealed that LINC-PINT polymorphisms were associated with ESCC risk.
