Background and objectives
The role of CCR2-V64I polymorphism in various cancers has been reported in many studies. However, results from published studies on the association between CCR2-V64I polymorphism and cancer risk are conflicting. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to estimate the overall cancer risk associated with the polymorphism.Methods
Electronic searches of PubMed and EMBASE were conducted for all publications on the association between this variant and cancer. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were used to access the strength of this association.Results
Sixteen studies with 2661 cancer patients and 5801 healthy controls were included. Overall, significant association was found between the CCR2-V64I polymorphism and cancer risk (OR = 1.84, 95% CI = 1.35–2.51, AA vs GA/GG, P = 0.37). In the subgroup analysis stratified by cancer types, there was a significant association between this polymorphism and bladder cancer (OR = 2.06, 95% CI = 1.02–4.15, AA vs GA/GG, P = 0.11), cervical cancer (OR = 3.34, 95% CI = 1.48–7.50, AA vs GG, P = 0.56), and oral cancer (OR = 2.04, 95% CI = 1.46–2.84, GA vs GG, P = 0.70). In the subgroup analysis stratified by ethnicities, an increased cancer risk was also found in Europeans (OR = 2.31, 95% CI = 1.45–3.68, AA vs GA/GG, P = 0.16) and Asians (OR = 1.88, 95% CI = 1.12–3.16, AA vs GA/GG, P = 0.92).Conclusion
This meta-analysis suggested that CCR2-V64I polymorphism may contribute to an increased risk of cancer. 相似文献2.
Background
The association between body mass index (BMI) and mortality in patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been a subject of interest for decades. However, the evidence is inadequate to draw robust conclusions because some studies were generally small or with a short follow-up.Methods
We carried out a search in MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and EMBASE database for relevant studies. Relative risks (RRs) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated to assess the association between BMI and mortality in patients with COPD. In addition, a baseline risk-adjusted analysis was performed to investigate the strength of this association.Results
22 studies comprising 21,150 participants were included in this analysis. Compared with patients having a normal BMI, underweight individuals were associated with higher mortality (RR = 1.34, 95% CI = 1.01–1.78), whereas overweight (RR = 0.47, 95% CI = 0.33–0.68) and obese (RR = 0.59, 95% CI = 0.38–0.91) patients were associated with lower mortality. We further performed a baseline risk-adjusted analysis and obtained statistically similar results.Conclusion
Our study showed that for patients with COPD being overweight or obese had a protective effect against mortality. However, the relationship between BMI and mortality in different classes of obesity needed further clarification in well-designed clinical studies. 相似文献3.

Purpose
Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 1, MMP2, MMP3 and MMP9 are important members of the MMP family. Recently, many studies have been carried out on the association between polymorphisms of MMP1-1607 1G/2G, MMP2-735 C/T, MMP2-1306 C/T, MMP3-1171 5A/6A and MMP9-1562 C/T and lung cancer risk. However the results of these studies remained inconclusive due to conflicting results from different case–control studies. To clarify these associations, we conducted a meta-analysis.Methods
We conducted a comprehensive search in Medline, EMBASE, OVID and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (date from Jan 2000 to Aug 2012). Overall and subgroup analysis by the ethnicity of study population was carried out. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was used to assess the strength of the association.Results
There were 17 studies involving five polymorphic sites in four MMP genes. For MMP1-1607,increased lung cancer risk was found under dominant model (MMP1-1607 1G/2G: OR = 1.14, 95%CI = 1.03–1.26, P = 0.01), but not in the Caucasian population. For MMP2-1306 C/T, T polymorphism decreased lung cancer risk under dominant and recessive models (dominant, OR = 0.63, 95%CI = 0.46–0.88, P = 0.0006; recessive, OR = 0.61, 95%CI = 0.38–0.99, P = 0.04). For MMP9-1562 C/T, TT genotype decreased this risk under the recessive model (OR = 0.38, 95%CI = 0.19–0.75, P = 0.005), but not in the Asian population. For MMP2-735 C/T and MMP3-1171 5A/6A, there was no association between this polymorphism and lung cancer risk under the dominant and recessive models.Conclusions
MMP1-1607 1G/2G polymorphism increased lung cancer risk in Asians. It was also found thatMMP2-1306 C/T polymorphism decreased lung cancer risk in Asians, while MMP9-1562 C/T polymorphism decreased lung cancer risk in Caucasians. No significant difference was found in any genotype of MMP2-735 C/T and MMP3-1171 5A/6A. Further studies with larger sample sizes should be carried out. 相似文献4.

IL-12 plays a very important role in the development and progress of cancer. IL-12B rs3212227 polymorphism has been reported and many studies have focused on the role of this polymorphism in various cancers. However, the association between IL-12B rs3212227 polymorphism and cancer risk remains controversial. Therefore, we performed a systematic meta-analysis to estimate the overall cancer risk associated with this gene polymorphism and to quantify any potential between-study heterogeneity. PubMed and Embase databases were searched for case–control studies published up to April 1, 2012 that investigated IL-12B rs3212227 polymorphism and cancer risk. Odds ratios (OR) with 95?% confidence intervals (95?% CI) were used to access the strength of this association. Heterogeneity among articles and publication bias were also verified. Ten studies with 2,954 cancer patients and 3,276 healthy controls were included. This meta-analysis showed that there was a significant association between IL-12B rs3212227 polymorphism and overall cancer risk (CC/AC vs AA: OR?=?1.32, 95?% CI?=?1.06–1.63). When stratified by cancer type, we found a significant increased risk in cervical and nasopharyngeal cancer (OR?=?1.34, 95?% CI?=?1.04–1.73; OR?=?2.03, 95?% CI?=?1.57–2.63, respectively). In the stratified analysis, we also observed a similar association in population-based studies (OR?=?1.34, 95?% CI?=?1.00–1.80), Asian populations (OR?=?1.33, 95 % CI?=?1.06–1.67) and European populations (OR?=?1.54, 95 % CI?=?1.04–2.28). According to the results of our meta-analysis, IL-12B rs3212227 polymorphism probably is associated with a high risk of cancer. 相似文献
