Background: Laryngeal cancer is more common in middle-aged and older men. We conducted an association analysis between ZNF208 polymorphisms and laryngeal cancer (LC) risk in the Northwestern Chinese Han male. Methods: A total of 352 subjects (172 LC patients and 180 controls) were involved in this study. Agena MassARRAY was used to determine the genotypes. Unconditional logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the relevance. Results: Two SNPs were associated with the risk of LC: rs8103163, OR = 1.41, p = 0.043; rs7248488, OR = 1.45, p = 0.025. Furthermore, rs8103163 was associated with an increased risk of LC under a log-additive model (OR = 1.40, p = 0.042), and rs7248488 was related to a higher risk of LC under a recessive model (OR = 2.33, p = 0.025) and a log-additive model (OR = 1.44, p = 0.026). Conclusions: We first demonstrated that the rs8103163 A allele and the rs7248488 A allele in ZNF208 create susceptibility to laryngeal cancer in the Northwestern Chinese Han male.
