Background
NAD (P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) catalyzes the activation of some environmental procarcinogens present in tobacco smoke or the diet. We conducted a hospital-based case–control study to evaluate the potential association between NQO1 609C > T polymorphisms and colorectal cancer risk in a Chinese population.Methods
The study population comprised 672 histologically confirmed colorectal cancer patients and 672 frequency-matched control subjects without cancer or systemic illness. We used PCR restriction fragment length polymorphism-based methods for genotyping analyses and unconditional logistic regression model for statistical evaluations.Results
The risk of colorectal cancer increased with the level of smoking and decreased with the consumption of tea, fresh fruits, and vegetables. In addition, we found that the NQO1 609 CT and TT genotypes were associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CT: adjusted OR = 2.02, 95% CI = 1.55–2.57; TT: adjusted OR = 2.51, 95% CI = 1.82–3.47), compared with the CC genotype. Moreover, NQO1 609C > T appeared to have a multiplicative joint effect with both tobacco smoking and alcoholic drinking (P for multiplicative interactions were 0.0001 and 0.013, respectively) on colorectal cancer risk.Conclusion
Our findings suggest that the NQO1 609C > T polymorphism plays an important role in the development of colorectal cancer in the Chinese population, which is strengthened by alcohol drinking or tobacco smoking. 相似文献2.

β-Microseminoprotein (MSMB) is one of the most abundant proteins in human seminal plasma. It has been identified that MSMB increased significantly in oligoasthenoteratozoospermic patients compared with fertile controls. We hypothesized that the functional polymorphism (rs10993994) of MSMB gene could be a risk factor for spermatogenic failure. For this study, 338 patients with idiopathic oligozoospermia or azoospermia and 382 fertile controls were recruited from an infertility clinic. Semen analysis was performed by computer-assisted semen analysis system. The functional polymorphism of MSMB gene was genotyped using TaqMan method. Sixty three seminal plasma samples were used to test the expression of MSMB by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The TT genotype and T allele were associated with an increased risk of idiopathic infertility with azoospermia (TT genotype: OR, 1.75; 95% CI, 1.03–2.95; T allele: OR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.03–1.75). However, no differences were found in risk for the TT genotype or T allele among men with oligozoospermia. In addition, idiopathic infertile males have significantly higher MSMB expression levels than fertile controls. We present the first epidemiologic evidence supporting the involvement of common genetic polymorphism in MSMB gene in spermatogenic failure. These results suggest that men carrying the variant have an increased risk of spermatogenic failure associated with male infertility. Further studies are needed to confirm the roles of the polymorphism in idiopathic azoospermia and investigate the biological mechanism of elevated MSMB expression in infertile males. 相似文献

One particularly interesting single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs6235 (encoding an S690T substitution), in the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1) gene has been widely associated with obesity in several European cohorts. The present study was intended to investigate the association between the PCSK1 rs6235 SNP and the prevalence of overweight or obesity, or obesity-related metabolic traits in a Taiwanese population. A total of 964 Taiwanese subjects with general health examinations were analyzed. Our data revealed no association of PCSK1 rs6235 with the risk of obesity or overweight in the complete subjects. However, the PCSK1 rs6235 SNP exhibited a significant association with overweight among the male subjects (P = 0.03), but not among the female subjects. Furthermore, the carriers of GG variant had a significantly higher waist circumference than those with the CC variant (82.5 ± 11.5 vs. 81.2 ± 10.2 cm; P = 0.01) and those with the CG variant (82.5 ± 11.5 vs. 81.4 ± 10.4 cm; P = 0.021). In addition, the carriers of GG variant had a higher diastolic blood pressure than those with the CC variant (81.9 ± 14.2 vs. 80.3 ± 12.9 mm Hg; P = 0.023). Our study indicates that the PCSK1 rs6235 SNP may contribute to the risk of overweight in men and predict obesity-related metabolic traits such as waist circumference and diastolic blood pressure in Taiwanese subjects. 相似文献

Background/aims
APE1 is an important DNA repair protein in the base excision repair pathway. Genetic variations in APE1 have been suggested to influence individuals' susceptibility to human malignancies. The present study was aimed to investigate the associations between two functional polymorphisms in APE1 (− 656 T > G and 1349 T>G) and breast cancer risk.Methods
We genotyped the two polymorphisms in a case-control study of 500 breast cancer patients and 799 age-matched cancer-free controls using the TaqMan method. Unconditional logistic regression adjusted for potential confounding factors was used to assess the associations.Results
We found that the variant genotypes of the − 656 T>G were significantly associated with decreased breast cancer risk, compared with the wild genotype [TG/GG vs. TT: adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 0.71, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.56–0.91], and the protective effect of this polymorphism was more predominant among the subgroups of younger subjects (< 52 years) (OR = 0.65, 95% CI = 0.46–0.92). Besides, we found that the variant genotypes were associated with less frequent lymph node metastasis (P = 0.020, OR = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.44–0.94). We did not observe any significant association between the 1349 T>G polymorphism and breast cancer risk.Conclusion
Our results suggest that the APE1 − 656 T>G but not the 1349 T>G polymorphism may influence the susceptibility and progression of breast cancer in the Chinese population. Large population-based prospective studies are required to validate these findings. 相似文献5.
The X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) protein plays a central role in DNA repair pathways. Epidemiological studies have revealed the association between XRCC1 Arg280His polymorphism and cancer risk, but the results were inconsistent. We conducted this meta-analysis to assess the effect of XRCC1 Arg280His polymorphism on cancer susceptibility with accumulated data. Up to January 2012, 53 case‐control studies with 21,349 cases and 23,649 controls were available for our study. Summary odds ratios (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for XRCC1 Arg280His polymorphism and cancer were estimated using fixed‐ or random-effects models when appropriate. Our meta-analysis identified that elevated cancer risk was statistically associated with the minor variant His allele and Arg–His/His–His genotypes both in the overall population (allele comparison, His versus Arg: OR = 1.16; 95% CI: 1.08–1.25; dominant comparison, Arg–His/His–His versus Arg–Arg: OR = 1.17; 95% CI: 1.08–1.27) and in terms of subgroup analyses by ethnicity for both Caucasians and non‐Caucasians. However, no significant result was observed in the stratified analysis by cancer type. Moreover, significantly increased cancer risk was observed in smokers. These findings indicated that XRCC1 Arg280His polymorphism may play a role in cancer development. 相似文献

Interleukin (IL)-21 promoter polymorphism increases the risk of thyroid cancer in Chinese population
Polymorphisms in Interleukin (IL)-21 have been researched in several cancers, but the association between IL-21 polymorphisms and thyroid cancer remains unclarified. This case–control study explored the role of five tagSNPs (rs12508721C > T, rs907715G > A, rs13143866G > A, rs2221903A > G and rs4833837A > G) in IL-21 gene in thyroid cancer development. IL-21 genotypes were examined in 615 thyroid cancer patients and 600 controls in Chinese population, and the associations with the risk of thyroid cancer were estimated by logistic regression. Moreover, the potential role of rs12508721C > T in thyroid cancer was further explored by biochemical assays. Compared with the rs12508721CC genotype, CT genotype presented a significantly decreased risk of thyroid cancer (adjusted odds ratios [OR] = 0.72; 95%CI = 0.57–0.94), the TT carriers had a further decreased risk of thyroid cancer (OR = 0.56; 95%CI = 0.41–0.87). Furthermore, our quantitative real-time PCR and Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) results demonstrated that the presence of rs12508721T allele led to more IL-21 expression. However, no significant difference was found in genotype frequencies for other four sites between cases and controls. These findings suggested that rs12508721 polymorphism in IL-21 might be a genetic modifier for the development of thyroid cancer. 相似文献

Aim
HFE gene variants can cause hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) that often comes along with an increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). The goal of our study is to assess the contribution of four HFE gene variants to the risk of CHD.Methods and results
We conducted four meta-analyses of the studies examining the association between four HFE gene variants and the risk of CHD. A systematic search was conducted using MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Chinese Periodical.Results
Meta-analyses showed that HFE rs1799945-G allele was associated with a 6% increased risk of CHD (P = 0.02, odds ratio (OR) = 1.06, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.01–1.11). However, no association between the other three HFE gene variants (rs1800562, rs1800730, and rs9366637) and CHD risk was observed by the meta-analyses (all P values > 0.05). In addition, the results of our case–control study indicated that rs1800562 and rs1800730 were monomorphic, and that rs1799945 and rs9366637 were not associated with CHD in Han Chinese.Conclusions
Our meta-analysis suggested that a significant association existed between rs1799945 mutation and CHD, although this mutation was rare in Han Chinese. 相似文献8.
CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cell-mediated immunosuppression is one of the crucial mechanisms that tumor cells use to evade the immune system. The forkhead box P3 (FoxP3) gene regulates regulatory T-cell development and function and may modulate the susceptibility to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Because a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) within the FoxP3 gene (rs3761548 in the promoter region) is associated with susceptibility to Graves' disease, this study detected rs3761548 in a hospital-based case–control study. A total of 192 NSCLC patients and 259 healthy subjects were recruited for the polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP) analysis of FoxP3 SNP. The data showed that the A allele of rs3761548 significantly increased NSCLC risk (P = 0.000, OR = 2.32, 95%CI = 1.736–3.102). The AC genotype, AA genotype, and the combined A variant genotype (AA + AC) were also associated with a higher risk of NSCLC (OR [95%CI] = 2.147[1.419–3.247], 4.413[2.359–8.255], and 2.563[1.746–3.761], respectively). Moreover, a significantly higher frequency of AA + AC genotype was observed in patients with stage II NSCLC (OR, 2.053; 95%CI, 1.033–4.078). In conclusion, the data from the current study demonstrated for the first time the association of the FoxP3 SNP with a risk of developing NSCLC in the Chinese Han population. 相似文献

Background and objective
The genetic variants of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes, such as those encoded by glutathione-S-transferase (GST) genes, may be associated with the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). To investigate the genetic factors for CAD, we examined the GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1, and GSTA1 genotypes in a CAD cohort in Taiwan.Methods
Our study included 458 CAD participants and 209 control participants who received coronary angiography to assess CAD. The severity of CAD was defined as the number of coronary vessels with 50% or greater stenosis. Sequence variation of the GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes was determined using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The GSTP1 (Ile105Val), and GSTA1 (-69C > T) genetic variants were identified using a combination of PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Logistic regression analysis was used to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals.Results
Among the GST genetic variants examined, the GSTT1 null genotype was more prevalent in CAD participants with 3 stenosed vessels than in control participants (OR = 1.64, P = .02). This association was no longer observed after adjusting for age, sex, smoking, alcohol use, diabetes mellitus, and serum levels of total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (OR = 1.28, P = .40). Both univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses found no significant associations between CAD and the other genetic variants, either separately or in combination. In addition, no effects of interactions between the genotypes and environmental factors, such as cigarette smoking, were significantly associated with the risk of CAD.Conclusion
The GST genetic variants examined were not associated with susceptibility to CAD in our Taiwanese cohort. This null association requires further confirmation with larger samples. 相似文献10.

Autophagy is a cellular process directed at recycling of cellular proteins and removal of intracellular microorganisms, which is important for balancing sources of energy at critical times in development and in response to nutrient stress. It has been reported to be a critical process in cancer initiation and progression. We hypothesized that genetic variants in critical genes of autophagy may be involve in the development of breast cancer. Thus, we systematically screened 14 potentially functional polymorphisms in six autophagy-related genes (ATG3, ATG5, ATG7, ATG10, and ATG12 and LC3) that are core components in autophagosome formation. We conducted a case-control study including 1064 breast cancer cases and 1073 cancer-free controls to evaluate the associations of these variants with breast cancer risk. We found that rs1864182 and rs10514231 in ATG10 were significantly associated with a decreased risk of breast cancer [odds ratios (OR) = 0.77, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.61–0.96, P = 0.023; and OR = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.59–0.93, P = 0.010, respectively]. Similar protective effects for both loci were observed between subgroups stratified by ages at diagnosis/recruitment, menarche and first live birth, and status of menopause, estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR). These results suggest that genetic variants in ATG10 may implicate with breast cancer susceptibility in Chinese population. Further large and functional studies are needed to confirm our findings. 相似文献

Accumulating evidences indicate that the functional FAS− 1377G > A, − 670A > G and FASL− 844T > C polymorphisms affect the risk of several kinds of cancers. However, their roles in the development of larynx and hypopharynx squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) were still unknown in the Chinese. In the current study, we examined whether these functional genetic variants were associated with the risk of larynx and hypopharynx squamous SCC in a Han Chinese population. The FAS and FASL polymorphisms were genotyped in 300 patients with laryngeal and hypopharyngeal SCC and 300 control subjects by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Logistic regression analysis revealed that subjects carrying the FASL–844CT or TT genotype had a significantly decreased risk of developing laryngeal and hypopharyngeal SCC [odds ratio (OR) = 0.69; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.51–0.93; P = 0.016; or, OR = 0.41; 95% CI = 0.20–0.86; P = 0.009] compared with those carrying the CC genotype. Joint gene-smoking and gene-drinking effects were also observed, with the OR of CC genotype for smokers or drinkers were 5.15 (95%CI = 3.24–8.97) or 12.52 (95%CI = 7.31–22.47), respectively. Therefore, the FASL− 844T > C polymorphism is associated with genetic susceptibility of developing laryngeal and hypopharyngeal SCC in a Han Chinese population. 相似文献

Background
Many studies have investigated the association between the Glutathione S transferase-P1 (GSTP1) Ile105Val polymorphism and colorectal cancer (CRC) susceptibility, but the results were conflicting. The aim of this study is to quantitatively summarize the relationship between this polymorphism and CRC risk.Methods
Two investigators independently searched the Medline, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Chinese Biomedicine databases for studies published before December 2012. Summary odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for GSTP1 polymorphism and CRC were calculated in a fixed-effects model (the Mantel–Haenszel method) and a random-effects model (the DerSimonian and Laird method) when appropriate.Results
This meta-analysis included 29 case–control studies, which included 8160 CRC cases and 10,450 controls. Overall, the variant genotypes (ValVal and IleVal) of the Ile105Val were not associated with CRC risk when compared with the wild-type IleIle homozygote. Similarly, no associations were found in the dominant and recessive models. When stratifying for ethnicity, source of controls, study sample size and genotyping methods, no evidence of significant association was observed in any subgroup, except among those studies taking others as genotyping methods (recessive model, OR = 0.71, 95%CI = 0.52–0.96). Limiting the analysis to the studies within Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, the results were persistent and robust. No publication bias was found in the present study.Conclusion
This updated meta-analysis suggests that the GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphism may not be associated with CRC risk, while the observed decrease in risk of CRC may be due to small-study bias. 相似文献13.
The C3435T (rs1045642) polymorphism, located in multi-drug resistance gene 1 (MDR1), has demonstrated its role in decreasing the P-gp activity level which is related to the carcinogenesis. Many published studies have evaluated the association between the MDR1 C3435T polymorphism and breast cancer risk. However, the results remain conflicting rather than conclusive. To derive a more precise estimation of the association between MDR1 C3435T polymorphism and risk of breast cancer, we performed a meta-analysis comprised of 10 case–control studies, including 5282 breast cancer cases and 7703 controls. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to evaluate the strength of the association. The overall results indicated that the variant genotypes were associated with a significantly increased risk of breast cancer (TT versus CC: OR = 1.45, 95% CI = 1.14–1.30, TT versus CT/CC: OR = 1.13, 95% CI = 1.04–1.23, TT/CT versus CC: OR = 1.22, 95% CI = 1.02–1.46). Our results suggest that the MDR1 C3435T polymorphism may contribute to individual susceptibility to breast cancer. 相似文献

The contemporary Venezuelan population is the product of major admixture process across various historical events, which has provided it a particular genetic background. The aim of this study concerns the analysis of glutathione S-transferase (GST) GSTM1, GSTP1 and GSTT1 genetic variants and five polymorphisms at the TP53 gene, which are related to cancer susceptibility, in an urban/admixed population and five Amerindian tribes (Bari, Panare, Pemon, Warao and Wayuu) from Venezuela. Genotyping was carried out in 120 individuals from an urban sample and 188 Amerindians. The analysis performed on TP53 haplotype and GST allele distribution showed a close correlation for Pemon and Warao populations, while Bari group appears isolated from the other populations. GSTT1 null variant frequency in our admixed (11%) and native samples (0.0–11.4%) was lower when compared with Caucasians, Africans and Asians. Frequency of the GSTP1*Val cancer-associated allele found in Bari (88.6%) and Panare (63.0%) is of the highest so far reported. Fourteen TP53 haplotypes were observed in the admixed populations, whereas only 3 to 5 in Amerindians. To our knowledge this is the first report of GST polymorphisms and TP53 haplotype distribution in Venezuelans. The distribution of most of analyzed polymorphisms in the urban sample is consistent with the admixed origin of the present-day population of Venezuela. While, the inter-ethnic variations in genetic polymorphisms found in Native American tribes seem to be the result of the influence of demographic factors. These results provide additional data for undertaking ethnographic and disease association studies in Venezuela. 相似文献

The genes encoding two cyclin-dependent kinases-inhibitor-2A/B (CDKN2A/B) and 5 regulatory subunit-associated protein-like 1 (CDKAL1) have been investigated extensively in associations with type 2 diabetes; the results, however, are often irreproducible. We therefore sought to evaluate these associations by performing a meta-analysis on five widely-evaluated variants from the two genes. There were 38 studies (patients/controls: 51,940/52,234) for rs10811661, 16 studies (20,029/24,419) for rs564398 in CDKN2A/B gene, and 27 studies (28,383/47,635) for rs7756992, 26 studies (28,816/31,713) for rs7754840, 21 studies (29,260/38,400) for rs10946398 in CDKAL1 gene. Overall risk estimates for type 2 diabetes conferred by rs10811661-T, rs564398-A, rs7754840-C, rs7756992-G, and rs10946398-C alleles were 1.17 (95% CI: 1.10–1.23; P < 0.0005; I2 = 83.9%), 1.1 (95% CI: 1.0–1.21; P = 0.051; I2 = 88.3%), 1.24 (95% CI: 1.18–1.3; P < 0.0005; I2 = 74.3%), 1.2 (95% CI: 1.11–1.3; P < 0.0005; I2 = 92.0%), and 1.19 (95% CI: 1.1–1.29; P < 0.0005; I2 = 90.8%), respectively. There was evident publication bias for rs564398 and rs7754840. Subgroup analyses by ethnicity showed remarkable divergences in risk estimate for rs564398 between Asians (odds ratio [OR] = 1.01; 95% CI: 0.86–1.19; P = 0.868) and Caucasians (OR = 1.19; 95% CI: 1.03–1.35; P = 0.012) (P < 0.05). For all variants examined, the results of studies in retrospective design or with population-based controls were comparative with that of overall studies. In meta-regression analyses, age was found to exert a significant influence on the association between rs10811661 and type 2 diabetes (P = 0.003), as well as between rs7754840 and gender (P = 0.034). Taken together, our findings provide evidence for a significant contribution of CDKN2A/B gene rs10811661 and CDKAL1 gene rs7756992 and rs10946398 to type 2 diabetes. 相似文献

Objectives
The association between passive smoking and breast cancer risk differs in pre- and post-menopausal women. We aimed to explore the modification effects of PARP1 rs1136410 and ESR1 rs2234693 on the association between passive smoking and breast cancer risk among pre- and post-menopausal women.Design and methods
A case–control study of 839 breast cancer cases and 863 controls was conducted. The gene–environment interactions were tested after adjusting for potential breast cancer risk factors with unconditional logistic regression models.Results
We found that the effect of passive smoking was modified by the genotypes in both pre- and post-menopausal women, but in opposite directions. The combination of the TC/CC genotypes of ESR1 rs2234693 and passive smoking significantly increased the risk of breast cancer [OR (95%CI): 2.06 (1.39–3.05)] in pre-menopausal women. A significant association was observed between TT genotype and passive smoking [OR (95%CI): 2.40 (1.27–4.53)] in postmenopausal women. For PARP1 rs1136410, similar differential associations were observed, but the interactions were not significant.Conclusions
These results imply that the risk of breast cancer from passive smoking may be influenced by genetic factors, and that the association may differ depending on menopausal status. 相似文献17.
Cytidine deaminase (CDA) is the major enzyme involved in metabolism of gemcitabine, a pyrimidine analog widely used for chemotherapy of solid tumors. While only low amounts of administered gemcitabine undergo intracellular phosphorylation into active forms and involve in antineoplastic activities, majority of it is rapidly inactivated by CDA and excreted to avoid drug toxicity. Knowledge of the genetic polymorphisms mildly effecting cellular activity of the enzyme CDA is therefore crucial to understanding drug-induced toxicities associated with gemcitabine. Functional significance and allele frequencies for common SNPs including 79A>C (*2) and 208G>A (*3) have been reported in various ethnic populations including Caucasian, African, Korean and Japanese. However, such studies have not been reported in any Indian sub-population. In the present study, conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based amplification using gene specific primers and Sanger sequencing were performed to identify CDA variants in 50 healthy individuals from Indian sub-population. Established common variant 79A>C known to reduce CDA activity was observed at a frequency of 0.14 in the study cohort. In addition to other known variants, one novel variant, c.325−209T>C was detected at a frequency of 0.06. Genetic variants in CDA gene and their frequencies established in our study hold value in pharmacogenetics. 相似文献

A population based case–control study was designed to explore the genetic risk factors for hepatitis B virus (HBV) related liver disease susceptibility. A total of 424 subjects comprising 210 controls, 50 acute HBV (AVH), 84 chronic HBV (CHBV), 25 HBV related cirrhosis and 55 HBV related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases were included in the study. PCR-RFLP was used for the genotyping of Cyp2E1*5B, hOGG1 codon 326 and XRCC1 codon 399. Compared to controls, Cyp2E1 rsaI variant c2 genotype increased the risk of HBV related liver disease severity by 2.68 fold, the highest for HCC cases (3.981 folds, p = 0.106); and was associated with higher histology activity index (HAI) (p < 0.001) in CHBV patients. Cyp2E1 and hOGG1 variants were independently associated with a significantly higher fibrosis score in CHBV group. Analysis of gene–gene interaction studies showed an increased risk of HCC, cirrhosis and CHBV in a Cyp2E1 variant + XRCC1 variant combination (p < 0.001); and hOGG1 variants + XRCC1 variants. A mutually independent heterozygous hOGG1 and XRCC1 combination resulted in a decreased risk of HBV related liver disease. On the other hand, a wild-type hOGG1 and XRCC1 combination was associated with a significantly higher risk of AVH (p = 0.010) but a lower risk of CHBV (p = 0.032) and HCC (p = 0.006). The gene–gene interactions were also associated with a significant increase in HAI and fibrosis score in CHBV patients. Cyp2E1, hOGG1 and XRCC1 genotypes significantly alter the risk of HBV related liver disease susceptibility and severity, independently or through gene–gene interaction. 相似文献

Background/aims
Interleukin-13 (IL13) is an immunoregulatory cytokine which plays an important role in carcinogenesis through affecting tumor immunosurveillance. Many studies had reported the influence of IL13 rs1800925 and rs20541 polymorphisms on cancer risk, however, with inconclusive results. The aim of the present study was to conduct a meta-analysis to clarify the relationship.Methods
Twenty studies including a total of 6713 cancer cases and 8693 controls for IL13 rs20541 polymorphism and 4081 cancer cases and 6202 controls for IL13 rs1800925 polymorphism were included in the meta-analysis. Data were extracted from these studies and odds ratios with corresponding 95% confidence intervals were computed to estimate the strength of the association.Results
Overall, the IL13 rs20541 polymorphism were associated with significantly decreased cancer risk in all genetic models (AA vs. GG: OR = 0.82, 95%CI = 0.71–0.95; GA vs. GG: OR = 0.92, 95%CI = 0.85–0.99; GA/AA vs. GG: OR = 0.90, 95%CI = 0.85–0.97; AA vs. GG/GA: OR = 0.85, 95CI% = 0.74–0.98). In the stratified analyses, significant effects were found among European populations, studies with population-based controls and studies of glioma. No influence of the IL13 rs1800925 polymorphism on the overall cancer risk was observed. However, in the stratified analyses, we found the IL13 rs1800925 polymorphism was significantly associated with decreased risk for glioma (CT vs. TT: OR = 0.72, 95%CI = 0.55–0.93; CT/TT vs. TT: OR = 0.76, 95%CI = 0.62–0.89).Conclusion
Our meta-analysis suggests that the IL13 rs20541 polymorphism contributes to susceptibility to cancer, especially for glioma; and the IL13 rs1800925 polymorphism may be associated with glioma risk. 相似文献20.
Recent evidences suggest that common functional polymorphisms in the promoter region of the Calpain-10 gene may have an impact on an individual's susceptibility to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but individually published results are inconclusive. Our meta-analysis is aimed to provide a more precise estimation of the relationships between Calpain-10 genetic polymorphisms and PCOS risk. An extensive literature search for relevant studies was conducted on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and CBM databases from inception through April 1st, 2013. This meta-analysis was performed using the STATA 12.0 software. The crude odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated. Fourteen case–control studies were included with a total of 2123 PCOS patients and 3612 healthy controls. Nine common SNPs in the Calpain-10 gene were addressed. Our meta-analysis indicated that UCSNP-19, UCSNP-63 and UCSNP-45 polymorphisms in the Calpain-10 gene might be associated with increased PCOS risk. However, no statistically significant association was observed in UCSNP-43, UCSNP-22, UCSNP-43, UCSNP-45, UCSNP-56, UCSNP-58, and UCSNP-110 polymorphisms. Further subgroup analysis by ethnicity revealed that UCSNP-19, UCSNP-63 and UCSNP-45 polymorphisms might decrease the risk of PCOS among Asian populations, but not among Caucasian populations. The current meta-analysis indicates that UCSNP-19, UCSNP-63 and UCSNP-45 polymorphisms in the Calpain-10 gene may be risk factors for PCOS, especially among Asian populations. 相似文献
