Ku70 plays an important role in the DSBR (DNA double-strand breaks repair) and maintenance of genomic integrity. Genetic variations
within human Ku70 have been demonstrated to be associated with increased risk of several types of cancers. In this hospital-based
case–control study, we aimed to investigate whether a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the promoter region (rs2267437)
of Ku70 gene is associated with susceptibility to breast cancer in Chinese Han population. A total of 293 patients with breast
cancer and 301 age-matched healthy controls were enrolled in this study. The Ku70 −1310C/G polymorphism was determined by
polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP) analysis. A significant difference in genotype
distribution and allele frequency was observed between patients and controls. The CG or GG carries were at higher risk of
breast cancer compared with the CC homozygotes (OR = 1.43, 95% CI = 1.02–2.00, P = 0.038 and OR = 3.53, 95% CI = 1.60–7.80, P = 0.002, respectively). Further stratification analysis revealed that G allele was associated with an increased risk of breast
cancer among premenopausal women (OR = 1.68, 95% CI = 1.21–2.33, P = 0.002), but not in postmenopausal women (OR = 1.33, 5% CI = 0.85–2.10, P = 0.216). Our study suggests that the Ku70 −1310C/G promoter polymorphism may be a susceptibility factor for breast cancer
in Chinese Han population. 相似文献

Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) was widely accepted as a pivotal molecule in downregulating T-cell mediated immune responses. In this study we investigated
the polymorphisms which would impact the CTLA-4 gene expression and function to assess the association with the risk of gastric cancer. 205 gastric cancer patients and 262
healthy controls were included in the case-control study. PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) methods
were performed to identify the +49A/G and promoter −1661A/G polymorphisms. The promoter −1772T/C polymorphism was detected
by PCR amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) technique. A significant difference was observed between case and control
groups. The frequency of +49A/G polymorphism AG and −1661A/G polymorphism GG genotype were significantly higher in patients
than in controls (OR = 2.15, OR = 1.88, respectively). No significant difference was found in the allelic frequency of −1772T/C
polymorphism between cases and controls (P = 0.478). By the haplotype analysis, logistic regression showed the frequency of haplotype A (GAT) and D (AGT) in the case
group revealed significant difference compared with in control group(OR = 2.00, P < 0.001; OR = 1.62, P = 0.043, respectively). Our findings implied the genetic variations within CTLA-4 gene would be a critical risk factor to the susceptibility of gastric cancer. 相似文献

Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) plays crucial role in protective immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MT). In this study, we examined whether single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) −2518 A/G (rs 1024611) of MCP-1 affect the
susceptibility to active tuberculosis (TB) in Tunisian populations. Genomic DNA from patients with active TB (168 cases of
pulmonary TB and 55 cases of extrapulmonary TB) and ethnically controls (150 cases) was genotyped for the MCP-1 −2518 A/G
SNP by polymerase chain reaction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). We observed that −2518 G allele and GG genotype
(high MCP-1 producer) frequencies were significantly more elevated in active pulmonary TB group in comparison to control group
[34 vs. 22%; P = 0.0007; 15 vs. 5%, P corrected for the number of genotypes (Pc) = 0.015; respectively]. Additionally, they were associated
with increased risk development of this clinical form of TB [odds ratio (OR) = 1.83, 95% confidence intervals (CI) = 1.26–2.66;
OR = 3.1, 95% CI = 1.28–7.76; respectively]. However, wild type allele −2518 A and AA genotype were over-represented in control
group (78 and 62%) and seem to be protective factors against TB. Moreover, −2518 AA genotype was more frequent in control
group and was associated with resistance against development of active pulmonary TB (OR = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.35–0.89, Pc = 0.03).
Our findings confirm the key role of −2518 A/G SNP of MCP-1 and support its association with resistance/susceptibility to
the development of active pulmonary TB in the Tunisian population. 相似文献

The relationship of stomach cancer susceptibility and the presence of E-cadherin (CDH1) promoter −160 C/A polymorphism had been reported with conflicting results. To further explore the association of this polymorphism
with stomach cancer susceptibility, we performed an extensive search of relevant studies and carried out a meta-analysis to
obtain a more precise estimate. A total of 16 studies including 2,611 cases and 3,788 controls were involved in this meta-analysis.
When all studies involved, the meta-analysis results suggest no statistically significant association between CDH1 −160 C/A polymorphism and stomach cancer risk (CA vs. CC: OR = 1.01, 95% CI: 0.85–1.19; AA vs. CC: OR = 1.05, 95% CI: 0.75–1.46;
dominant model: OR = 1.02, 95% CI: 0.86–1.20; recessive model: OR = 1.04, 95% CI: 0.76–1.41). When subgroup analyses were
performed by ethnicity, the A-allele carriers conferred a decreased stomach cancer risk in Asians (AA vs. CC: OR = 0.67, 95%
CI: 0.47–0.96; dominant model: OR = 0.85, 95% CI: 0.72–0.99), but no statistically significant association was found in Caucasians.
In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggests that CDH1 −160 A-allele may play a protective role of stomach cancer development in Asians but not in Caucasians. 相似文献

This study aimed to perform a meta-analysis to assess the association of survivin −31 G/C promoter polymorphism and cancer
risk. Thirteen case–control studies identified through PubMed and published between 2007 and 2011 with a total of 3329 cancer
cases and 3979 controls were included in this meta-analysis. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were used
to investigate the strength of the association. Overall, the pooled analysis showed that survivin −31C allele was associated
with 1.27 fold increased risk of cancer compared with the −31G allele (95% CI = 1.091–1.479; random model). Subgroup analyses
based on type of cancer and ethnicity were also performed, and results indicated that survivin −31G/C polymorphism was not
associated with risk of gastric cancer [OR = 2.879; 95% CI = 0.553–15.004) for CC vs.GG] and esophageal cancer [OR = 1.352;
95% CI = 0.494–3.699) for CC vs.GG]. Stratification on the basis of ethnicity showed that the risk due to −31C allele was
significant only in Asian population [OR = 1.894; 95% CI = 1.206–2.974 for CC vs.GG]. The present meta-analysis suggests an
important role of survivin −31 G/C polymorphism with cancer risk especially in Asian population. However, further studies
with larger sample size are required to draw more comprehensive conclusions and provide more precise evidence in individual
cancers. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine whether the interleukin-10 (IL-10) polymorphisms confer susceptibility to rheumatoid
arthritis (RA). A meta-analysis was conducted on the associations between the IL-10 −1082 G/A, −592 C/A, −892 C/T and IL-10.R
polymorphisms and RA using; (1) allele contrast, (2) the recessive model, (3) the dominant model, and (4) the additive model.
A total of 16 studies (19 comparisons) involving 2647 RA patients and 3383 controls were considered in the meta-analysis.
Meta-analysis of the IL-10 −1082 G/A polymorphism showed no association with RA in the study subjects, or in European or Asian
subjects. However, meta-analysis of the −1082 G allele in 4 studies in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium showed a significant association
with RA (OR = 1.217, 95% CI = 1.027–1.442, P = 0.0236). In contrast, meta-analysis of the C allele, the CC genotype, and of the CC versus the AA genotype of the IL-10
−592 C/A polymorphism showed significant associations with RA. The overall ORs of the associations between the C allele and
RA were 0.684 and 0.758 (95% CI = 0.494–0.946, P = 0.022; 95% CI = 0.475–1.210, P = 0.045) in all study subjects and Asians. Meta-analysis of the CC + CT versus TT genotype and of the CC versus TT genotype
of the IL-10 −892 C/T polymorphism revealed significant associations with RA. The overall OR of the association between the
C allele carrier and RA was 0.552 (95% CI = 0.375–0.812, P = 0.003). No association was found between the IL10.R2 alleles and RA. This meta-analysis suggests that the IL-10 −592 C/A
polymorphism confers susceptibility to RA in Asians and that the IL-10 −1082 G/A and −892 C/T polymorphisms are associated
with RA susceptibility. These findings suggest the IL-10 genes confer susceptibility to RA. 相似文献

There is considerable evidence that host genetic factors are important in determining susceptibility to mycobacterial infections.
More recently, functional genetic mutations affecting IL-10 receptor 1 (IL-10R1) were described. In this study, we investigated
the relationship of IL-10R1 S138G loss-of-function polymorphism (A536G: rs3135932) with susceptibility to active tuberculosis
(TB) in Tunisian patients. A total of 168 patients with pulmonary TB, 55 with extrapulmonary TB, and 150 control subjects
were studied. Genomic DNA samples were extracted from leukocytes and used to investigate S138G polymorphism in IL-10R1 gene
by multiplex allele-specific polymerase chain reaction. Associations between G allele [odds ratio OR = 5.01; 95% confidence
intervals CI = 2.58–9.77; P = 10−7], GG genotypes [OR=9.06; 95% CI (1.58–67.33); correcting P-values using the Bonferroni method for multiple tests Pc=0.015] and AG genotype [OR=3.75; 95% CI (1.62–8.7); Pc=0.0012] with
the risk development of active extrapulmonary TB were found. In contrast, the AA genotype was found to be associated with
resistance to extrapulmonary TB [OR=0.19; 95% CI (0.09–0.42); Pc=6.10−6]. No association was found between S138G SNP and pulmonary TB. In conclusion, our study suggested the possible role of IL-10R1
S138G loss-of-function polymorphism in extrapulmonary TB susceptibility-resistance in Tunisia. 相似文献

Published data on the association between FAS −1,377 G/A polymorphism and cancer risk are inconclusive. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, a meta-analysis
was performed. A total of 17 studies including 10,564 cases and 12,075 controls were involved in this meta-analysis. Overall,
significantly elevated cancer risk was associated with AA variant genotype when all the eligible studies were pooled into
the meta-analysis (for AA vs GG: OR = 1.19; 95% CI = 1.01–1.40; P
heterogeneity = 0.05; for recessive model: OR = 1.21; 95% CI = 1.04–1.41; P
heterogeneity = 0.05). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, borderline statistically significantly increased risks were found among Asians
for recessive model (OR = 1.20; 95% CI = 1.00–1.45; P
heterogeneity = 0.01). In the subgroup analysis by population-based controls or hospital-based controls, statistically significantly increased
risks were found among groups with population-based controls for AA versus GG (OR = 1.27; 95% CI = 1.02–1.58; P
heterogeneity = 0.05) and recessive model (OR = 1.25; 95% CI = 1.00–1.59; P
heterogeneity = 0.01). For breast cancer, borderline statistically significantly increased risks were found for AA versus GG (OR = 1.29;
95% CI = 1.00–1.67; P
heterogeneity = 0.41). In summary, this meta-analysis suggests that the FAS −1,377 G/A polymorphism is associated with cancer susceptibility.

P73 is a structural and functional homologue of p53, and plays an important role in regulating cell cycle and apoptosis. A
potentially functional polymorphism (designated as p73 G4C14-to-A4T14) has been identified in a region in exon 2 of the p73 gene, which may theoretically form a stem-loop structure and thereby affect p73 expression. Several investigations have reported the correlation between p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 polymorphism and cancer risk.
However, the results are inconclusive. To further assess the association between p73 polymorphism and cancer risk, we performed
meta-analysis of the data sets obtained from 26 individual studies involving 8,148 cancer patients and 8,150 controls. The
association between p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 polymorphism and cancer risk was determined by crude odd ratios (OR) with 95% CI (confidential
interval). AT-allele carriers were found to have a significantly increased risk of cervical cancer (AT/GC vs. GC/GC, OR = 1.63,
95% CI = 1.14–2.33; AT/AT + AT/GC vs. GC/GC, OR = 1.49, 95% CI = 1.05–2.10), colorectal cancer (AT/AT vs. AT/GC + GC/GC, OR = 1.98,
95% CI = 1.25–3.12), head and neck cancer (AT/AT + AT/GC vs. GC/GC, OR = 1.44, 95% CI = 1.06–1.96) and other cancers (AT/AT
vs. GC/GC, OR = 1.78, 95% CI = 1.24–2.57; AT/AT vs. AT/GC + GC/GC, OR = 1.80, 95% CI = 1.26–2.56). In the stratified analysis
of ethnicity, a significantly elevated cancer risk was found in Caucasians (AT/AT + AT/GC vs. GC/GC, OR = 1.18, 95% CI = 1.08–1.30;
allele AT vs. allele GC, OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.06–1.24). No significant association of p73 polymorphism with the cancer risk
of smoking was detected by stratified analysis by smoking status. Together, our data suggest that the p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 may
be a risk factor of cancer especially in Caucasians. 相似文献

A case–control association study on 229 Myocardial Infarction (MI) patients and 217 healthy controls was carried out to determine
the role of tissue-plasminogen activator (t-PA) (Alu-repeat insertion (I)/deletion (D)) and plasminogen activator inhibitor
(PAI-1) (4G/5G insertion/deletion) polymorphisms with MI in the Pakistani population. In MI patients the genotype distribution
of the PAI-1 gene was not found to be different when compared with the unaffected controls (P > 0.05, χ2 = 1.03). The risk allele 4G was also not associated with MI (P > 0.05, χ2 = 0.46, odds ratio (OR) = 1.1 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.84–1.43), P > 0.05). Similarly, the genotype frequencies of t-PA I/I, I/D and D/D were not different from the unaffected controls (P > 0.05, χ2 = 1.60), and the risk allele “I” was not found to be associated with MI (P > 0.05, χ2 = 1.35, OR = 0.86 (95% CI = 0.66–1.11), P > 0.05). However, when the data were distributed along the lines of gender a significant association of the 4G/4G PAI-1 genotype
was observed with only the female MI patients (P < 0.05, z-test = 2.21). When the combined genotypes of both the polymorphisms were analyzed, a significant association of
MI was observed with the homozygous DD/4G4G genotype (P < 0.01, z-test = 2.61), which was specifically because of the female samples (P = 0.01, z-test = 2.53). In addition smoking (P < 0.001, χ2 = 13.52, OR = 3.45 (95% CI = 1.77–6.94)), diabetes (P < 0.001, χ2 = 22.45, OR = 8.89 (95% CI = 2.96–29.95)), hypertension (OR = 7.76 (95% CI = 2.88–22.68), P < 0.001) family history (P < 0.001, χ2 = 13.72, OR = 3.7 (95% CI = 1.71–8.18)) and lower HDL levels (P < 0.05) were found to be significantly associated with the disease. In conclusion the PAI-1 gene polymorphism was found to
have a gender specific role in the female MI patients. 相似文献

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an inflammatory disorder that may implicate proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis
factor alpha (TNF-alpha) in its pathogenesis. The association between TNF-alpha 308 G/A polymorphism and GBS largely remains
unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between TNF-alpha 308 G/A polymorphism and GBS in Chinese
Han patients. TNF-alpha 308 G/A polymorphism in 150 GBS patients and 150 healthy controls were studied using polymerase chain
reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP) assay. Patients with GBS had a significantly higher frequency
of TNF-alpha 308AA genotype [odds ratio (OR) = 3.79, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.03, 13.94; P = 0.04] than controls. When stratified by the GBS subtype, there was a significantly higher frequency of TNF-alpha 308AA
genotype in patients with AMAN (OR = 6.05, 95% CI = 1.45, 25.31; P = 0.01) and AMSAN (OR = 5.56, 95% CI = 1.18, 26.23; P = 0.03) than controls. There was no significant difference in the distribution of each genotype between patients with AIDP
and the control group. These data indicated that TNF-alpha 308AA genotype was associated with a higher risk of GBS in Chinese
population, especially to AMAN and AMSAN. 相似文献

Several polymorphisms of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) such as 936 C/T, −2578 C/A, −406 C/T, and −1154 G/A polymorphism
have been identified. Published data on the association between VEGF polymorphisms and breast cancer risk are inconclusive.
To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, a meta-analysis was performed. Crude OR with 95% CI was used to assess
the strength of association between them. For VEGF 936C/T polymorphism, a total of 10 studies including 7,685 cases and 7,915
controls were involved in this meta-analysis. Overall, no significant associations were found between VEGF 936C/T polymorphism
and breast cancer risk when all studies pooled into the meta-analysis (TC vs. CC: OR = 0.904, 95% CI = 0.797–1.024; TT vs.
CC: OR = 0.974, 95% CI = 0.786–1.205; dominant model: OR = 0.911, 95% CI = 0.811–1.024; and recessive model: OR = 0.991, 95%
CI = 0.801–1.226). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, still no significant associations were found for all comparison
models. For −2578 C/A, −406 C/T, and −1154 G/A polymorphism, there were too limited data to perform a meta-analysis. In conclusion,
this meta-analysis suggests that the VEGF 936C/T polymorphism may be not associated with breast cancer development. However,
large sample and representative population-based studies with homogeneous breast cancer patients and well matched controls
are warranted to confirm this finding. 相似文献

Some studies have shown that IL-18 was associated with aetiology and progression of asthma. However, the association between
single-nucleotide polymorphisms −607C/A (rs1946518) and −137G/C (rs187238) located in the IL-18 gene promoter and asthma risk
was still controversial and ambiguous. To derive a more precise effect on the association between these polymorphisms and
asthma risk, we performed a meta-analysis based on the currently available evidence of the literature. A total of 5 studies
with 1411 cases and 1525 controls for −607C/A polymorphism and 5 studies with 1883 cases and 6645 controls for −137G/C polymorphism
were identified to perform a meta-analysis, up to October 2010. Summary ORs and corresponding 95% CIs for IL-18 polymorphisms
and asthma were estimated using fixed- and random-effects models when appropriate. Heterogeneity and publication bias were
evaluated. We found that individuals carrying AC/CC genotype of −607C/A polymorphism were associated with an increased asthma
risk in recessive model (OR = 1.278; 95% CI, 1.073–1.522). However, no significant association was observed between −137G/C
polymorphism and asthma risk under different contrast models. There was no evidence of publication bias. The present meta-analysis
suggested that IL-18 −607C/A polymorphism in promoter region was associated with asthma risk. 相似文献

Adiponectin is inversely associated with the risk of ischemic stroke through its anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic effects.
Genetic variations in the adiponectin gene (ADIPOQ) have been shown to be associated with the risk of ischemic stroke in Caucasians
and Japanese populations. However, it was unknown whether variations in the ADIPOQ gene were associated with the risk of ischemic
stroke in Chinese population. A case-control study was performed among 302 patients with ischemic stroke and 338 unrelated
controls in a Chinese Han population. The single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs266729 (−11377C/G), rs2241766 (+45T/G),
rs1501299 (+276G/T) in the ADIPOQ gene were genotyped by the polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism
(PCR-RFLP) method. The frequencies of GG genotype and G allele of rs266729 in the patients with ischemic stroke were significantly
higher than those in the controls (P = 0.034, P = 0.010, respectively). In univariate logistic analysis, compared with CC genotype, GG genotype of rs266729 increased the
risk of ischemic stroke (odds ratio (OR) = 2.062, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.145–3.715, P = 0.016). After adjustment for potential risk factors by the multivariate logistic analysis, rs266729 remained positive correlation
with ischemic stroke (OR = 2.165; 95% CI = 1.116–4.197, P = 0.022). However, no significant association was observed among rs2241766, rs1501299 and ischemic stroke. In addition, no
significant difference was found in haplotype frequencies between the patients with ischemic stroke and control subjects.
The present study demonstrated that the promoter polymorphism rs266729 of the ADIPOQ gene was associated with an increased
risk of ischemic stroke in the Chinese Han population. 相似文献

Published data on the association between TGFBR1*6A/9A polymorphism and cancer risk are inconclusive. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, a meta-analysis
was performed. A total of 32 studies including 13,662 cases and 14,147 controls were involved in this meta-analysis. Overall,
significantly elevated cancer risks were associated with TGFBR1*6A in all genetic models (for allelic effect: OR = 1.11; 95% CI = 1.03–1.21; for 6A/6A vs. 9A/9A: OR = 1.30; 95% CI = 1.01–1.69;
for 9A/6A vs. 9A/9A: OR = 1.08; 95% CI = 1.01–1.15; for dominant model: OR = 1.08; 95% CI = 1.02–1.15; for recessive model:
OR = 1.29; 95% CI = 1.00–1.68). In the subgroup analysis by cancer types, significant associations were found in breast cancer
(for allelic effect: OR = 1.16; 95% CI = 1.01–1.34) and ovarian cancer (for allelic effect: OR = 1.24; 95% CI = 1.00–1.54;
for 6A/6A vs. 9A/9A: OR = 2.34; 95% CI = 1.03–5.33). However, no significant associations were found in colorectal cancer,
bladder cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer for all genetic models. In summary, this meta-analysis suggests that the TGFBR1*6A/9A polymorphism is associated with cancer susceptibility, increasing the risk of breast and ovarian cancer. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in matrix metalloproteinase
(MMPs) with the risk of gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA) and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Genotypes were
analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment-length polymorphism method in 592 patients and 624 healthy individuals.
Significant differences in allele and genotype distributions of MMP-2 -1306C → T SNP were observed between ESCC and controls
(P = 0.02 and 0.01, respectively). Compared with the C/T + T/T genotypes, C/C genotype significantly increased the risk of ESCC
(OR = 1.57, 95% CI = 1.10–2.23), especially in individuals in smoker group and in the group with positive family history.
The stratification analysis showed there were risk changes of GCA for -735C/C genotype carrier in nonsmoker, for MMP-12 -82G
allele and MMP-13 -77A/G genotype carrier in smoker. Our study indicated that these four functional polymorphisms might play
roles in developing ESCC and GCA in high incidence region of North China. 相似文献

Vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptor the kinase domain receptor play critical roles in the pathogenesis of
coronary artery disease. Periostin is an up-regulator of kinase domain receptor expression. The purpose of this study was
to determine whether polymorphisms in periostin are associated with the risk of coronary artery disease. Two single nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNP C-33G, SNP A-953T) within the promoter region were chosen for further analyses. A case–control study was
carried out with patients of Han Chinese ethnicity, which consisted of 492 coronary artery disease cases and 498 controls.
Genotyping was performed by means of PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP) and the plasma level of periostin
was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In our study, the TT genotype of SNP-A953T was present in the general
Chinese population (3.5%), but not in the Han Chinese from Beijing Project (HAPMAP CHB). Plasma periostin concentrations were
elevated significantly in patients with coronary artery disease (7.96 ± 8.33 nmol/l) compared with those in healthy volunteers
(3.93 ± 1.71 nmol/l) (P = 0.005). There was a significant correlation between the 953T genotype and the plasma level of periostin (r
2 = −0.490, P = 0.039). The prevalence of the TT genotype in patients was associated with a slightly lower risk of coronary artery disease
(OR = 0.443, 95% CI = 0.200–0.982), but was not significant after correction (OR = 0.427, 95% CI = 0.146–1.250). The periostin-33G
allele frequency was not significantly different in cases versus controls. Our data suggest that plasma periostin level may
serve as a biomarker for the risk of coronary artery disease, but the periostin polymorphisms SNPC-33G and SNPA-953T were
not significantly associated with the risk of coronary artery disease in this Chinese population. Although a major effect
of the SNPs in the periostin genes on coronary artery disease susceptibility was excluded, the effect of the A-953T SNP on
susceptibility and protein expression needs further investigation. 相似文献

Colorectal cancer constitutes a significant proportion of the global burden of cancer morbidity and mortality. A number of
studies have been conducted to explore whether TP53 codon 72 polymorphism is associated with colorectal cancer susceptibility. However, controversial results were obtained.
In order to derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, we systematically searched Medline, Google scholar, and
Ovid database for studies reported before May 2010. A total of 3603 colorectal cancer cases and 5524 controls were included.
TP53 codon 72 polymorphism was not associated with colorectal cancer risk in all genetic models (for dominant model: OR = 0.99,
95% CI: 0.86–1.15; for recessive model: OR = 1.00, 95% CI: 0.81–1.23; for Arg/Pro vs. Arg/Arg: OR = 1.00, 95% CI: 0.87–1.15;
for Pro/Pro vs. Arg/Arg: OR = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.76–1.25). In the subgroup analyses by ethnic groups and sources of controls,
no significant associations were found in all models. Taken together, this meta-analysis suggested that the biologically usefulness
of TP53 codon 72 polymorphism as a selection marker in colorectal cancer susceptibility may be very limited. 相似文献

Polymorphisms in the endoribonuclease L (RNASEL) gene have been hypothesized to increase the incidence of cancer. The common
sequence variation in RNASEL, −1385G/A (rs486907) has been involved in several types of cancer risk. However, results of the
related published studies remained conflicting rather than conclusive. To clarify the role of RNASEL −1385G/A genotype in
global cancer, we performed a meta-analysis of all the available published studies involving 8,732 cancer patients and 8,748
control subjects. The overall results indicated that there was no major influence of the variant on cancer risk. However,
stratified analysis by ethnicity showed that the RNASEL −1385G/A polymorphism has an increased cancer risk in African descendents
in the homozygote comparison (OR = 2.59, 95% CI = 1.27–5.27), although no association was found in the analysis stratified
by cancer type (OR = 1.12, 95% CI = 0.94–1.35). This meta-analysis suggested that the RNASEL −1385G/A polymorphism is associated
with cancer risk in African descendents. To draw more comprehensive conclusions, further prospective studies with larger numbers
of participants worldwide are still required to examine associations between RNASEL −1385G/A polymorphism and cancer risk. 相似文献

The contribution of the CCL2 −2518 A>G (rs 1024611) polymorphism in the occurrence and progression of various cancers has been found to be discordant.
We studied the prevalence of the CCL2 −2518 A>G polymorphism in patients with breast cancer (n = 160) and controls (n = 323) in a sample of the Polish population.
There were no significant differences in CCL2 −2518 A>G genotypes between patients with breast tumors and controls. Odds ratio (OR) for patients bearing the GG genotype
was 1.481 (95% CI = 0.7711–2.845, P = 0.2358), and OR of the GG and AG genotypes was 0.7269 (95% CI = 0.4967–1.064, P = 0.1002). There was also no significant distinction in the prevalence of alleles between patients and healthy individuals.
OR for the CCL2 −2518 G allele frequency was 0.8903 (95% CI = 0.6611–1.199, P = 0.4441). Analysis of the association between tumor size, lymph node metastases, histological grade, and distribution of
genotypes and alleles for the CCL2 −2518 A>G polymorphism also did not show significant differences. Our results did not show association of the CCL2 −2518 A>G polymorphism with breast cancer occurrence and clinical characteristics in a sample of the Polish cohort. 相似文献
