The minichromosome maintenance complex component 7 (MCM7) encodes a member of MCM complex, which plays a critical role in the initiation of gene replication. Due to the importance of MCM complex, MCM7 gene has been regarded as a candidate gene for cancer development. In the present study, seven MCM7 polymorphisms were genotyped in 344 subjects composed of 103 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and 241 normal controls to examine the possible associations between MCM7 polymorphisms and the risk of AML. MCM7 polymorphisms were not associated with the risk of AML (P > 0.05). However, MCM7 polymorphisms were significantly related to the relapse of AML and overall survival. The rs2070215 (N144S) showed a protective effect to the risk of AML relapse (OR = 0.37; Pcorr = 0.02). In haplotype analyses, the ht1 and ht2 showed significant associations with the risk of AML relapse (Pcorr = 0.02–0.03). In addition, rs1534309 showed an association with the overall survival of AML patients. Patients with major homozygote genotype (CC) of rs1534309 showed a higher survival rate than the patients with other genotypes (CG and GG). The results of the present study indicate that MCM7 polymorphisms may be able to predict the prognosis of AML patients.
