Published data on the association between interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene polymorphisms and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) risk are inconclusive. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, a meta-analysis was performed, focusing on four major IL-10 gene variants in the promoter region: –3575T/A, –1082A/G, –819C/T and –592C/A. We applied the false discovery rate (FDR) method to adjust for multiple testing. A significant association between IL-10 –3575T/A polymorphism and the risk of DLBCL was observed in the pooled 10 case–control studies (A vs. T: OR = 1.16, 95% CI = 1.08–1.25, P < 0.0001; AA + TA vs. TT: OR = 1.20, 95% CI = 1.08–1.33, P = 0.0009; AA vs. TA + TT: OR = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.09–1.44, P = 0.001). The results indicated that carriers of –1082G allele (–1082GG/GA genotypes) had a nearly 30% increased risk of DLBCL, as compared with carriers of –1082AA genotype (GG + GA vs. AA: OR = 1.30, 95% CI = 1.08–1.57, P = 0.005). When P-values were not adjusted for multiple testing, the risk was significantly decreased among people with –592AA genotype (AA vs. AC + CC: OR = 0.63, 95% CI = 0.43–0.94, P = 0.02), while carriers with –819TT genotype also modestly weakened the DLBCL susceptibility at a marginal level of significance (TT vs. CT + CC: OR = 0.59, 95% CI = 0.35–0.99, P = 0.05). However, these associations were not significant after correction for multiple testing. This meta-analysis suggests that IL-10 –3575A allele confers a greater risk to DLBCL susceptibility, while –1082A/G polymorphism also has significant association with DLBCL risk. These results may help to further clarify the malignancy-risk gene signature of DLBCL, and thus have prognostic and predictive value especially for early-stage DLBCL. 相似文献

hMLH1 is a member of mismatch repair genes (MMR) that plays a crucial role in correcting replication errors, cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and oxidative stress. We explored the risk associated with hMLH1 − 93 A>G (rs 1800734) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with the oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in Asian Indians. We genotyped 242 patients with tobacco-related OSCC and 205 healthy controls by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique. The frequency of AA genotype was found to be significantly (Pc < 0.0006) lower in patients as compared to the controls (21.49% vs. 47.8%) while GG genotype showed significantly higher (Pc < 0.0006) prevalence in patients as compared to the healthy controls (41.32% vs. 13.66%). In logistic regression analysis AG (adjusted OR = 1.95, 95% CI = 0.72–5.26) and GG genotype (adjusted OR = 4.5, 95% CI = 1.54–13.16, P = 0.006) appeared susceptible when compared with the wild-type AA genotype. The allelic distribution showed that variant G allele is significantly higher (Pc < 0.0004) in patients and associated with increased risk (adjusted OR = 2.36, 95% CI = 1.33–4.19, P = 0.003) as compared to the wild-type A allele. Altogether, our results suggest that the hMLH1 − 93 A>G polymorphism is associated with the higher risk of tobacco-related OSCC in Asian Indians and could be useful in screening population at a higher risk. 相似文献

Polymorphisms in the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene may influence the risk of ischemic stroke (IS), but the results are still debatable. A meta-analysis was performed to investigate the association between the eNOS gene polymorphisms in IS risk. Case–control studies on the association between the G894T, T-786C, and 4b/a polymorphisms and IS were searched up to July 2012, and the genotype frequencies in the control group were found to be consistent with the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (HWE). The effect summary odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were obtained. Meta-regression was used to explore the potential sources of heterogeneity. Funnel plots and Egger's test was used to estimate small study biases, and heterogeneity was assessed by chi-square-based Q-test and I2 test. There were total 6537/6475 cases/controls for G894T, 3459/3951 cases/controls for 4b/a, and 2125/2673 cases/controls for T-786C polymorphism. For G894T and 4b/a, a significant association of 894 T allele and 4a allele with increased risk of IS was found in Asians (TT + GT vs. GG: p < 0.00001, OR = 1.60, 95% CI = 1.38–1.79, Pheterogeneity = 0.11; aa + ba vs. bb: P < 0.00001, OR = 1.60, 95% CI = 1.30–1.97, Pheterogeneity = 0.02), but not in Caucasians (TT + GT vs. GG: P = 0.60, OR = 0.94, 95% CI = 0.75–1.19, Pheterogeneity = 0.002; aa + ba vs. bb: P = 0.13, OR = 0.81, 95% CI = 0.62–1.06, Pheterogeneity = 0.63). For T-786C polymorphism, there were no significant differences in genotype distribution between IS and control in Asians (CC + TC vs. TT: P = 0.15, OR = 1.14, 95% CI = 0.95–1.37, Pheterogeneity = 0.94) and in Caucasians (CC + TC vs. TT: P = 0.72, OR = 0.96, 95% CI = 0.75–1.22, Pheterogeneity = 0.53). This analysis provides strong evidence that the eNOS T-786C gene polymorphism is not associated with IS, the G894T and 4b/a polymorphisms might be associated with IS, at least in Asians. 相似文献

Increasing epidemiological studies have focused on the associations between interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene − 174G>C polymorphism and atherosclerotic diseases, but the results are still controversial. This meta-analysis was designed to identify whether this association exists. PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane database, Clinicaltrials.gov and Current Controlled Trials, Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, CBMdisc, CNKI and Google Scholar were searched to get the genetic association studies. The crude odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to estimate the association between the IL-6 gene − 174G>C polymorphism and atherosclerosis ( AS ) risk. The subgroup analyses were made on the following: ethnicity, atherosclerotic diseases and source of controls. Finally, 50 studies (15,029 cases and 18,485 controls) were included in this meta-analysis. Overall, no significant association was found between the IL-6 gene − 174G>C polymorphism and AS risk (for C allele vs. G allele: OR = 1.02, 95% CI = 0.94–1.11, p = 0.64; for C/C vs. G/G: OR = 1.01, 95% CI = 0.85–1.21, p = 0.88; for C/C vs. C/G + G/G: OR = 0.97, 95% CI = 0.84–1.12, p = 0.68; for C/C + C/G vs. G/G: OR = 1.07, 95% CI = 0.97–1.17, p = 0.18). In the subgroup analyses, significant associations were found between the IL-6 gene − 174G>C polymorphism and AS in non-Caucasian group (for CC + CG vs. GG: OR = 1.22, 95% CI = 1.06–1.41, p = 0.005), other atherosclerotic diseases group (for C allele vs. G allele: OR = 0.75, 95% CI = 0.61–0.93, p = 0.008; for C/C vs. G/G: OR = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.38–0.81, p = 0.002; for C/C vs. C/G + G/G: OR = 0.60, 95% CI = 0.45–0.79, p = 0.0004) and population-based group (for C allele vs. G allele: OR = 1.09, 95% CI = 1.00–1.18, p = 0.04; for CC + CG vs. GG: OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.04–1.27, p = 0.005). In summary, the present meta-analysis suggests that the IL-6 gene − 174G C polymorphism is associated with the susceptibility to AS. However, due to the high heterogeneity in the meta-analysis, the results should be interpreted with caution. 相似文献

Epidemiological studies have assessed the association between xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD) Lys751Gln and acute leukemia risk with conflicting results. We performed this meta-analysis to derive a more precise estimation of the relationship. Pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was used to assess the strength of the association.Results
Ten published case–control studies including a total of 1494 cases and 2259 controls were identified. Overall, significant risk effects of Lys751Gln genotype was found under the dominant model (OR = 1.16; 95% CI = 1.01–1.34; P = 0.032). When stratified by clinical types, the variant genotype was associated with the acute myeloid leukemia (AML) risk under the heterozygote comparison (OR = 1.20; 95% CI = 1.00–1.43; P = 0.048), the homozygote comparison (OR = 1.35; 95% CI = 1.05–1.74; P = 0.019) and the dominant model (OR = 1.23; 95% CI = 1.04–1.45; P = 0.015), respectively. Furthermore, significantly increased risks were also pronounced in Caucasian AML patients (the homozygote comparison: OR = 1.38; 95% CI = 1.07–1.78; P = 0.013; the dominant model: OR = 1.23; 95% CI = 1.03–1.46; P = 0.020; and the recessive model: OR = 1.26; 95% CI = 1.00–1.60; P = 0.050). No evident heterogeneities were observed for the overall data under all genetic models. In addition, no statistical evidence for publication bias was found using the method of Begg's and Egger's tests.Conclusion
This meta-analysis suggested that XPD Lys751Gln polymorphism might be a risk factor for AML and Caucasian acute leukemia patients. 相似文献6.

Numerous studies have investigated the association between xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group C (XPC) poly (AT) deletion/insertion (PAT −/+) polymorphism and cancer susceptibility; however, the findings are inconsistent. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis based on 32 publications including 10,214 cases and 11,302 controls to acquire a more robust estimation of the relationship. We searched publications from MEDLINE, EMBASE and CBM which assessed the associations between XPC PAT −/+ polymorphism and cancer risk. We calculated pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) by using either fixed-effects or random-effects model. We found that individuals carrying the PAT +/+ genotype have significantly increased cancer risk (PAT +/+ vs. PAT −/−: OR = 1.18, 95% CI = 1.03–1.35 and recessive model: OR = 1.19, 95% CI = 1.06–1.33). Further stratification analysis showed a significantly increased risk for prostate cancer (PAT +/+ vs. PAT −/−: OR = 2.20, 95% CI = 1.39–3.48, recessive model: OR = 2.07, 95% CI = 1.33–3.23 and PAT + vs. PAT −: OR = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.12–1.71), bladder cancer (recessive model: OR = 1.33, 95% CI = 1.03–1.72), Caucasian ethnicity (recessive model: OR = 1.21, 95% CI = 1.02–1.43), population-based studies (recessive model: OR = 1.23, 95% CI = 1.05–1.43) and studies with relatively large sample size (PAT +/+ vs. PAT −/−: OR = 1.18, 95% CI = 1.04–1.35 and recessive model: OR = 1.20, 95% CI = 1.08–1.33). Despite some limitations, this meta-analysis established solid statistical evidence for the association between the XPC PAT +/+ genotype and cancer risk, especially for urinary system cancer, but this association warrants further validation in single large studies. 相似文献

The objective of this study is to quantitatively derive a more precise estimation of the association between X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) gene polymorphisms and differentiated thyroid carcinoma risk. A comprehensive literature search of three databases was conducted. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated with fixed-effect models and random-effect models when appropriate. Overall, no association of the XRCC1 Arg399Gln, Arg280His, and Arg194Trp polymorphisms with differentiated thyroid carcinoma risk was found. In subgroup analyses, a decreased differentiated thyroid carcinoma risk was observed among Caucasians (Gln vs. Arg, OR = 0.86, 95% CI = 0.77–0.96, P = 0.343 for heterogeneity; Gln/Arg vs. Arg/Arg, OR = 0.84, 95% CI = 0.71–0.98, P = 0.229 for heterogeneity; Gln/Gln vs. Arg/Arg, OR = 0.77, 95% CI = 0.60–0.99, P = 0.477 for heterogeneity; dominant genetic model, OR = 0.82, 95% CI = 0.71–0.95, P = 0.272 for heterogeneity), not among Asians. No publication bias was observed. Our results suggest that XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism is not associated with differentiated thyroid carcinoma risk, while a decreased risk is observed among Caucasian population. 相似文献

Introduction
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a family of endogenous, small and noncoding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression by suppressing translation or degrading mRNAs. Recently, many studies investigated the association between hsa-miR-499 rs3746444 polymorphism and cancer risk, which showed inconclusive results.Methodology/main results
We conducted a meta-analysis of 17 studies that included 7842 cancer cases and 8989 case-free controls and assessed the strength of the association, using odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Overall, hsa-miR-499 rs3746444 polymorphism was associated with higher cancer risk in heterozygote model (AG vs AA, OR = 1.15, 95%CI = 1.01–1.30, Pheterogeneity < 0.001), dominant genetic model (GG/AG vs AA, OR = 1.18, 95% CI = 1.04–1.33, Pheterogeneity < 0.001) and allele contrast (G vs A, OR = 1.09, 95% CI = 1.01–1.18, Pheterogeneity = 0.021). In the stratified analyses, we observed that the GG/AG genotype might modulate breast cancer risk (OR = 1.13, 95% CI = 1.01–1.26, Pheterogeneity = 0.111) comparing with the AA genotype. Moreover, a significantly increased risk was found among Asian populations in heterozygote model (AG vs AA, OR = 1.23, 95% CI = 1.06–1.43, Pheterogeneity < 0.001), homozygote model (GG vs AA, OR = 1.22, 95% CI = 1.02–1.46, Pheterogeneity = 0.319), dominant model (GG/AG vs AA, OR = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.06–1.39, Pheterogeneity < 0.001) and allele contrast (G vs A, OR = 1.14, 95% CI = 1.04–1.25, Pheterogeneity = 0.021).Conclusions
These findings supported that hsa-miR-499 rs3746444 polymorphism contributes to the susceptibility of cancers. 相似文献9.
Matrix metalloproteinase-1 has been implicated in periodontal disease, but the association between the most-studied Matrix metalloproteinase-1 1G-to-2G polymorphism and the risk of periodontal disease were reported with inconclusive results. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the association between the Matrix metalloproteinase-1 1G-to-2G polymorphism and periodontal disease. Electronic databases search yielded 11 studies with 1447 patients and 1710 control subjects evaluated the association of the polymorphisms of Matrix metalloproteinase-1 1G-to-2G and periodontitis risk were brought into this study. The association was evaluated by odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI). The overall results showed that the variant genotypes were associated with a significantly increased risk of periodontitis (OR = 1.45, 95% CI = 1.02–1.26 for 2G/2G vs 1G/1G, and OR = 2.27, 95% CI = 1.22–4.23 for 2G/2G vs 1G/2G + 1G/1G). In the stratified analyses, there was a significantly increased risk for the studies of periodontitis (OR = 1.59, 95% CI = 1.15–2.21 for 2G/2G vs 1G/1G; OR = 3.48, 95% CI = 1.39–8.71 for 2G/2G vs 1G/2G + 1G/1G), which remained for the studies of Asian populations. And there was a significantly increased risk of severe periodontitis (OR = 2.15, 95% CI = 1.35–3.43 for 2G/2G vs 1G/1G; OR = 2.86, 95% CI = 1.31–2.64 for 2G/2G vs 1G/2G + 1G/1G; OR = 1.6, 95% CI = 1.12–2.39 for 1G/2G + 2G/2G vs 1G/1G; OR = 1.61, 95% CI = 1.28–2.03 for 2G allele vs 1G allele). The current study demonstrated that the Matrix metalloproteinase-1-1607 1G-to-2G polymorphism was associated with susceptibility to periodontitis, apparently, severe periodontitis. 相似文献

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene − 174 G/C polymorphism has been reported to be associated with coronary heart disease (CHD), but the results remain inconclusive. The present meta-analysis was therefore designed to clarify these controversies. This meta-analysis was performed by searching PubMed, Embase and Web of Science databases. A total of 20 studies including 9619 CHD cases and 10,919 controls were combined showing no evidence of association between IL-6 gene − 174 G/C polymorphism and CHD risk (for C/C + C/G vs. G/G: OR = 1.10, 95% CI = 0.99–1.22, p = 0.07; for C/C vs. C/G + G/G: OR = 1.08, 95% CI = 0.93–1.24, p = 0.33; for C/C vs. G/G: OR = 1.16, 95% CI = 0.97–1.39, p = 0.11; for C allele vs. G allele: OR = 1.10, 95% CI = 1.00–1.21, p = 0.06). Moreover, we also did not find significant association between IL-6 gene − 174 G/C polymorphism and myocardial infarction (MI) risk. However, in the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, significant association was found among Asians (for C/C + C/G vs. G/G: OR = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.05–1.63, p = 0.02). In summary, the present meta-analysis suggests that IL-6 gene − 174 G/C polymorphism is associated with increased CHD risk among Asians. However, due to the small subjects included in the subgroup analysis of Asians, the results should be interpreted with caution. 相似文献

Background
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is recognized as a T-cell-mediated autoimmune disease. Vitamin D compounds are known to suppress T-cell activation by binding to vitamin D receptor (VDR); and thus, VDR gene polymorphisms may be related to T-cell-mediated autoimmune diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between vitamin D status and VDR gene polymorphisms and T1DM.Materials and methods
One hundred and twenty patients with T1DM and one hundred and twenty controls were enrolled in the study. VDR gene BsmI, FokI, ApaI and TaqI polymorphisms were determined using polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) was determined using ELISA.Result
Serum 25(OH)D levels revealed a vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency in 75% of the patients. The mean levels of vitamin D were significantly lower in patients as compared to their controls (P = < 0.001). VDR BsmI Bb and bb genotypes and VDR FokI Ff and ff genotypes were associated with increased risk of T1DM (OR = 2.3, 95% CI = 1.3–4.2, P = 0.005; OR = 2.2, 95% CI = 1.1–4.7, P = 0.04; OR = 1.8, 95% CI = 1.03–3.04, P = 0.04; OR = 4.03, 95% CI = 1.2–13.1, P = 0.01 respectively), while the VDR ApaI and TaqI polymorphisms were not.Conclusion
Our study indicated that vitamin D deficiency and VDR BsmI and FokI polymorphisms were associated with T1DM in Egyptian children. 相似文献12.
Published data on the association between the myeloperoxidase (MPO) G-463A polymorphism and coronary artery disease (CAD) are inconclusive. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, a meta-analysis on this topic was performed. PubMed, EMBASE and Chinese national knowledge infrastructure were searched for studies regarding the association between the MPO G-463A polymorphism and CAD. A logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the genetic effect and the possible genetic model of action. Summary odds ratios (ORs) with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. There was strong evidence for an association between the MPO G-463A polymorphism and CAD. The genetic model of action was most likely to be co-dominant. Overall, the data showed that AA and GA genotypes were significantly associated with reduced risk of CAD (AA vs. GG: OR = 0.37, 95% CI = 0.17–0.78; GA vs. GG: OR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.57–0.92). In subgroup analyses by study population and sources of controls, statistically significant results were observed in the Chinese population (AA vs. GG: OR = 0.21, 95% CI = 0.10–0.43; GA vs. GG: OR = 0.57, 95% CI =0.44–0.74) and in hospital-based control studies (AA vs. GG: OR = 0.20, 95% CI = 0.10–0.39; GA vs. GG: OR = 0.61, 95% CI = 0.48–0.77). This meta-analysis suggests that the MPO G-463A variant genotypes may be associated with decreased risk of CAD. However, given the limited number of studies and the potential biases, the influence of this polymorphism on CAD risk needs further investigation. 相似文献

Genetic variations in DNA repair genes are thought to modify DNA repair capacity and may to be related to cancer susceptibility. However, epidemiological study results have been inconsistent. In this meta-analysis, we assessed 24 case–control studies of association between the X-ray repair cross complementing group 1 (XRCC1) Arg399Gln polymorphism and bladder cancer susceptibility in the general population and in Asian and non-Asian subgroups. A moderately significant association with bladder cancer risk was found for AG vs GG (OR = 1.110, 95% CI = 1.018–1.210). No significant associations with bladder cancer risk were found for AA vs GG (OR = 0.942, 95% CI = 0.823–1.077), the dominant model AA/AG vs GG (OR = 1.075, 95% CI = 0.990–1.167) and the recessive model AA vs AG/GG(OR = 0.890, 95% CI = 0.788–1.005). In subgroup analysis, a moderately significant association was also found for AG vs GG (OR = 1.091, 95% CI = 1.008–1.180) in non-Asian subgroup. The analysis suggests that the XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism might be a moderate risk factor for bladder cancer, especially in non-Asian population. 相似文献

Atherosclerosis, manifesting itself as acute coronary syndrome, stroke, and peripheral arterial diseases, is a chronic progressive inflammatory disease which is driven by responses of both innate and adaptive immunity. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells-1 (TREM-1) are important effectors of the innate immune system, and polymorphisms within genes encoding them may increase risk of occurrence of various pathologies including cardiovascular disorders. Thus, we carried out a genetic association study on the sample of 702 consecutive Caucasian (Russian) patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and 300 age-, sex-, and ethnicity-matched healthy controls. We revealed that the C/C genotype of the TLR1 rs5743551 polymorphism was significantly associated with a reduced risk of CAD according to the recessive model (OR = 0.41, 95% CI = 0.20–0.84, P = 0.017, adjusted by age and gender). Concerning TREM-1 gene polymorphisms, we found that A/A genotype of the rs2234237 polymorphism, the G/G genotype of the rs6910730 polymorphism, the C/C genotype of the rs9471535 polymorphism, and the T/T genotype of the rs4711668 polymorphism were significantly associated with elevated CAD risk according to the recessive model (OR = 5.52, 95% CI = 1.17–25.98, P = 0.011; OR = 4.28, 95% CI = 1.09–16.81, P = 0.021; OR = 5.55, 95% CI = 1.18–26.09, P = 0.011, and OR = 1.66, 95% CI = 1.10–2.52, P = 0.014, respectively, adjusted by age and gender). Conversely, the G allele of the rs1817537 polymorphism, the T allele of the rs2234246 polymorphism, and the T allele of the rs3804277 polymorphism significantly correlated with similarly decreased risk of CAD according to the dominant model (OR = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.40–0.81, P = 0.0013; OR = 0.59, 95% CI = 0.42–0.84, P = 0.003, and OR = 0.58, 95% CI = 0.41–0.81, P = 0.0014, respectively, adjusted by age and gender). We conclude that certain TLR and TREM-1 gene polymorphisms may be associated with CAD in Russian population; however, their significance as predictive and pathogenic markers of CAD should be interpreted with caution in other populations. 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16.

Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) senses hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and drives the host specific innate and adaptive immune response. The aim of this study was to estimate the distributions of TLR7 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including rs179019 and rs3853839, as well as the effect of TLR7 gene variants on TLR7 mRNA expression and cytokine production in response to TLR7 agonist in vitro. TLR7 SNP genotyping was performed among a Chinese sample population of 418 patients with persistent HCV infection, 317 patients with HCV spontaneous clearance, and 989 healthy controls. TLR7 mRNA expression and TLR7-specific IFN-α and IL-6 secretion in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, derived from 60 healthy individuals in vitro, were then quantified. We identified the association of TLR7 rs3853839C allele, haplotype CC and haplotype AC (rs179019/rs3853839) with protection against HCV persistence in Chinese females (OR = 0.49, 95% CI = 0.29–0.81, P = 0.01 for rs3853839 GC; OR = 0.29, 95% CI = 0.11–0.75, P = 0.01 for rs3853839 CC; OR = 0.51, 95% CI = 0.38–0.77, P < 0.01 for haplotype CC; OR = 0.29, 95% CI = 0.10–0.88, P = 0.03 for haplotype AC). In addition, the rs3853839 CC genotype among female carriers had significantly low TLR7 mRNA expression (P = 0.006 for GG vs. CC, P = 0.021 for GC vs. CC), along with decreased IFN-α (P = 0.002 for GG vs. CC, P = 0.021 for GC vs. CC) and increased antiviral IL-6 production (P = 0.002 for GG vs. CC, P = 0.030 for GC vs. CC), after treatment with Imiquimod in vitro. The cytokine profile among rs3853839 CC genotype female carriers may indicate a pronounced protective effect against persistent HCV infection. The functional polymorphism of TLR7 rs3853839C allele was found to be sex-specific and associated with protection against HCV persistence among Chinese females, which may be due to specific IFN-α and IL-6 secretion profiles. 相似文献

A variety of epidemiologic studies have focused on the association between macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) gene − 173G/C polymorphism and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, results in different studies have been inconsistent. In order to derive a more precise estimation of the associations, we performed this meta-analysis and systematic searches of electronic databases PubMed and Web of Science (up to April 30, 2013). Based on our search criteria, a total of seven eligible studies concerning the MIF − 173G/C polymorphism and IBD risk were included in the final meta-analysis, comprising 2162 IBD cases and 2134 controls. Significant association was found between MIF − 173G/C polymorphism and the risk of IBD when all studies were pooled into the meta-analysis (for C allele vs. G allele: OR = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.12–1.41, p = 0.000; for C/C vs. G/G: OR = 1.71, 95% CI = 1.23–2.39, p = 0.002; for C/C + G/C vs. G/G: OR = 1.24, 95% CI = 1.09–1.42, p = 0.002; for C/C vs. G/C + G/G: OR = 1.67, 95% CI = 1.20–2.33, p = 0.002). Heterogeneity and publication bias did not exist in the overall comparisons. The present meta-analysis suggests an association between the MIF − 173G/C polymorphism and IBD risk. However, due to few studies and the selection bias existed in some studies, the results should be interpreted with caution. 相似文献

Studies investigating the association between interleukin-13 (IL-13) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs20541 and allergic rhinitis (AR) risk have reported conflicting results. The aim of the present study was to conduct a meta-analysis assessing the possible association of IL-13 SNP rs20541 with AR risk. Eight studies were included in the present meta-analysis (2153 cases and 3931 controls). The combined results based on all studies showed that IL-13 SNP rs20541 was associated with increased AR risk (Gln versus Arg: odds ratio (OR) = 1.18, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.08–1.30; Gln/Gln versus Arg/Arg: OR = 1.52, 95% CI = 1.20–1.92; Arg/Gln + Gln/Gln versus Arg/Arg: OR = 1.19, 95% CI = 1.06–1.33; Gln/Gln versus Arg/Gln + Arg/Arg: OR = 1.42, 95% CI = 1.13–1.79). When stratifying for race, IL-13 SNP rs20541 exhibited increased AR risk in Asians (Gln versus Arg: OR = 1.20, 95% CI = 1.06–1.36; Gln/Gln versus Arg/Arg: OR = 1.57, 95% CI = 1.17–2.12; Arg/Gln + Gln/Gln versus Arg/Arg: OR = 1.22, 95% CI = 1.04–1.44; Gln/Gln versus Arg/Gln + Arg/Arg: OR = 1.45, 95% CI = 1.09–1.93), while no significant association was detected in Caucasians (Gln versus Arg: OR = 1.28, 95% CI = 0.93 ~ 1.78; Gln/Gln versus Arg/Arg: OR = 1.42, 95% CI = 0.96–2.11; Arg/Gln + Gln/Gln versus Arg/Arg: OR = 1.35, 95% CI = 0.89–2.05; Gln/Gln versus Arg/Gln + Arg/Arg: OR = 1.37, 95% CI = 0.93–2.02). This meta-analysis supported that IL-13 SNP rs20541 was associated with AR, particularly in Asians. 相似文献

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20.
The MTHFR is a candidate risk gene for Parkinson's disease (PD), and a functional SNP (rs1801133) in the coding region of this gene has been investigated for the associations with the illness extensively among worldwide populations, but overall the results were inconsistent. Here, to assess the relationship between rs1801133 and risk of PD in general populations, we conducted a systematic meta-analysis by combining all available case–control samples in European and Asian populations, with a total of 1820 PD cases and 7530 healthy controls, and the pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for rs1801133 and PD were calculated using the Mantel–Haenszel method with a fixed-effect model. Overall, rs1801133 was significantly associated with the risk of PD (allelic model, pooled OR = 1.212 for T allele, 95% CI = 1.097–1.340, p-value = 0.0002). When stratifying for ethnicity, significant association was also observed in European (allelic model, pooled OR = 1.187 for T allele, 95% CI = 1.058–1.332, p-value = 0.004) and Asian samples (allelic model, pooled OR = 1.293 for T allele, 95% CI = 1.058–1.580, p-value = 0.012) respectively. In addition, rs1801133 was also significantly associated with MTHFR mRNA expression in both CEU (European, p-value = 0.0149) and CHB (Chinese, p-value = 0.0178) HapMap populations. Collectively, our meta-analysis suggests that rs1801133 is significantly associated with susceptibility to PD in European and Asian populations, and MTHFR is likely an authentic risk gene for PD. 相似文献
