There were conflicting results about whether promoter polymorphisms (− 2578C/A, − 1154G/A) of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene is a risk factor of Alzheimer's disease (AD). To determine the relationship between them, a meta-analysis is needed urgently. We searched all the reports about VEGF promoter polymorphisms (− 2578C/A, − 1154G/A) and AD risk from PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Collaboration and Google Scholar database for the period up to 1 August, 2012. A total of 7 studies were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated applying fixed or random effects models. There was no significant association between VEGF − 2578C/A polymorphisms and AD risk in all gene models (OR = 1.08, 95% CI = 0.94–1.23 for A vs. C; OR = 1.19, 95% CI = 0.89–1.59 for AA vs. CC; OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 0.91–1.45 for AA vs. CC + CA; OR = 1.11, 95% CI = 0.98–1.25 for AA + CA vs. CC). Similar results were provided in subgroup analysis by ethnicity. For the VEGF − 1154G/A polymorphisms, lack of an association was also found (A vs. G: OR = 0.89, 95% CI = 0.79–1.01; AA vs. GG: OR = 0.82, 95% CI = 0.62–1.08; AA vs. GA + GG: OR = 0.89, 95% CI = 0.68–1.16; AA + AG vs. GG: OR = 0.85, 95% CI = 0.72–1.00). Conclusively, the result of this meta-analysis suggested that VEGF promoter polymorphisms (− 2578C/A, − 1154G/A) might not contribute to the susceptibility of AD. 相似文献

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

Objectives
Ischemic stroke is influenced by both environmental and genetic factors. The CD40/CD40L system is related to proinflammatory and prothrombogenic responses, which are involved in the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was to evaluate association between the CD40 -1C/T single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and ischemic stroke in a Chinese population.Methods
We conducted a case–control study including 286 ischemic stroke patients and 336 controls. CD40 -1C/T SNP was genotyped using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and DNA sequencing methods, and evaluated its relevance to ischemic stroke susceptibility.Results
Significantly increased ischemic stroke risk was found to be associated with the T allele of CD40 -1C/T (OR = 1.273, 95% CI = 1.016–1.594). The frequencies of CT and TT/CT genotypes of CD40 -1C/T in ischemic stroke patients were significantly higher than those of controls, respectively (for CT: OR = 2.350, 95% CI = 1.601–3.449; for TT/CT: OR = 2.148, 95% CI = 1.479–3.119). And, similar results were obtained after adjusting non-matched variables. We found that the frequency of carried T genotypes (TT and TT/CT) was significantly increased in patients with history of stroke compared with patients without (for TT: OR = 6.538, 95%CI = 1.655–25.833; for TT/CT: OR = 3.469, 95%CI = 1.031–11.670), respectively.Conclusions
The findings suggested that the CD40 -1C/T polymorphism might contribute to the susceptibility to ischemic stroke in the Chinese population, and might be associated with history of previous stroke. 相似文献4.
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

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

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

We performed a case-control study to assess the relationship between six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group F (XPF) on glioma risk in a Chinese population. The six SNPs were genotyped in 330 glioma cases and 652 cancer-free controls using a 384-well plate format on the Sequenom MassARRAY platform (Sequenom, San Diego, USA). Rs1800067 did not follow the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium in the control group, and the genotype distributions differed significantly between the two groups for SNPs rs1800067 and rs2276466. For rs1800067, the variant genotype T/T was strongly associated with an increased risk of glioma when compared with the A/A genotype (OR = 3.77, 95% CI = 2.38–6.01). Individuals with the rs1800067 G allele had a relatively high risk of glioma in a dominant model (OR = 3.47, 95% CI = 2.26–5.37). The rs2276466 G/G genotype was significantly associated with a moderate increased risk of glioma (OR = 1.82, 95% CI = 1.10–3.02) in a codominant model, and variation of rs25489 was associated with a 1.31- and 1.78-fold glioma risk in dominant and recessive models, respectively. Our study is the first to identify polymorphisms in rs1800067 and rs2276466 as correlated with glioma susceptibility. 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

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10.

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

T3801C is a common polymorphism in CYP1A1, showing differences in its biological functions. Case–control studies have been performed to elucidate the role of T3801C in cancer, although the results are conflicting and heterogeneous. Hence, we performed a meta-analysis to investigate the association between cancer susceptibility and T3801C (55,963 cases and 76,631 controls from 268 studies) polymorphism in different inheritance models. We used odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals to assess the strength of the association. Overall, significantly increased cancer risk was observed in any genetic model (dominant model: odds ratio [OR] = 1.14, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.09–1.19; recessive model: OR = 1.23, 95% CI = 1.12–1.34; CC vs. TT: OR = 1.31, 95% CI = 1.19–1.45; TC vs. TT: OR = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.07–1.18; additive model: OR = 1.14, 95% CI = 1.09–1.19) when all eligible studies were pooled into the meta-analysis. In further stratified and sensitivity analyses, the elevated risk remained for subgroups of cervical cancer, head and neck cancer, hepatocellular cancer, leukemia, lung cancer, prostate cancer and breast cancer. In addition, significantly decreased colorectal cancer risk was also observed. In summary, this meta-analysis suggests that the participation of CYP1A1 T3801C is a genetic susceptibility for some cancer types. Moreover, our work also points out the importance of new studies for T3801C association in some cancer types, such as gallbladder cancer, Asians of acute myeloid leukemia, and thyroid cancer, where at least some of the covariates responsible for heterogeneity could be controlled, to obtain a more conclusive understanding about the function of the CYP1A1 T3801C polymorphism in cancer development. 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

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

The angiotensinogen (AGT) gene M235T polymorphism has been reported to be associated with myocardial infarction (MI) and brain infarction (BI), but the results remain inconclusive. This meta-analysis was designed to clarify these controversies. Electronic databases were systematically searched before February 2013. A total of 38 studies with 17304 subjects met our inclusion criteria. In East Asian group, significant association was found between AGT M235T polymorphism and risk of MI (for dominant model: OR = 1.79; 95% CI = 1.04–3.06; for recessive model OR = 2.01; 95% CI = 1.21–3.36; for additive model OR = 1.79; 95% CI = 1.14–2.86) as well as BI (for dominant model: OR = 1.66; 95% CI = 1.22–2.27; for recessive model OR = 1.78, 95% CI = 1.29–2.46; for additive model: OR = 1.64, 95% CI = 1.34–2.00), while the M235T polymorphism did not impact the risk of MI in total population and other ethnicity. In the subgroup analyses by gender and age, there was lack of evidence for the association. This meta-analysis suggested an association between the M235T polymorphism and MI as well as BI in East Asian population. Further studies with larger numbers of worldwide participants are needed to understand the genetic basis of MI and BI. 相似文献

Background
A variety of studies have evaluated the association between the − 786T>C polymorphism in the promoter region of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the results remain conflicting. To better understand the role of eNOS − 786T>C polymorphism in CAD risk, we conducted a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis.Methods
Case–control, cohort or cross-sectional studies evaluating the association between eNOS − 786T>C polymorphism and CAD risk were searched in electronic databases of PubMed, ISI Web of Knowledge, Medline, Embase and Google Scholar Search (up to January 2013). Overall and subgroup analyses were performed. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to evaluate the association between eNOS − 786T>C polymorphism and CAD risk.

Twenty-four studies were analyzed between 6192 CAD cases and 9281 healthy controls. The combined results of overall analysis showed significant positive associations between CAD risk and eNOS − 786T>C polymorphism in dominant model (OR = 1.45, 95% CI = 1.27–1.65), recessive model (OR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.20–1.56), homozygote comparison (OR = 1.64, 95% CI = 1.31–2.04), heterozygote comparison (TC vs. TT, OR = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.23–1.57; CC vs. TC, OR = 1.20, 95% CI = 1.04–1.37) and allele comparison (OR = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.21–1.50). On subgroup analysis based on the ethnicity of population (Caucasians, Asians and others), significant differences were found in all genetic models for Caucasians, similar associations existed in Asians except heterozygote comparison (CC vs. TC). However, the associations were only found in dominant model, heterozygote comparison (TC vs. TT) and allele comparison for the populations named others.Conclusions
Our investigations demonstrate the significant associations between eNOS − 786C>T polymorphism and CAD risk, and this polymorphism might become an early marker for the risk evaluation of CAD. 相似文献16.

CXCL12 has been implicated in human carcinogenesis, but the association between the most-studied G801A polymorphism (rs1801157) and the risk of various cancers was reported with inconclusive results. The aim of this study was to assess the association between the CXCL12 G801A polymorphism and cancer risk. A meta-analysis of 17 studies with 3048 cancer patients and 4522 controls was conducted to evaluate the strength of the association using odds ratio (OR) with its 95% confidence interval (CI). The overall results showed that the variant genotypes were associated with a significantly increased risk of all cancer types (OR = 1.38, 95%CI = 1.18–1.61 for GA versus GG, and OR = 1.36, 95%CI = 1.17–1.59 for GA/AA versus GG). In the stratified analyses, there was a significantly increased risk for the studies of breast cancer (OR = 1.64, 95% CI = 1.16–2.33 for AA versus GG, OR = 1.42, 95%CI = 1.18–1.71 for GA versus GG, and OR = 1.44, 95%CI = 1.21–1.72 for GA/AA versus GG) and lung cancer (OR = 2.86, 95% CI = 1.75–4.69 for AA versus GG, OR = 1.62, 95% CI = 1.20–2.18 for GA vs. GG, OR = 1.80, 95% CI = 1.36–2.39 for GA/AA versus GG, and OR = 2.24, 95%CI = 1.41–3.57 for AA versus GA/GG), which remained for the studies of Asian populations and hospital-based control sources. Although some modest bias could not be eliminated, this meta-analysis indicates that the CXCL12 G801A polymorphism is a low-penetrance risk factor for cancer development. 相似文献

Background
The association between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677C > T polymorphism and lung cancer risk has been studied in various populations with conflicting results. The aim of this study was to assess the association strength by a meta-analysis of published studies.Methods
We searched PubMed and Chinese Biomedical (CBM) databases for relevant literatures published by July 18, 2012. Pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated to assess the strength of the association.Results
A total of 20 studies comprising 11,653 cases and 12,032 controls were included in the final meta-analysis. Using the random effect model, we found that MTHFR 677TT variant genotype was associated with an increased lung cancer risk (OR = 1.26, 95% CI = 1.05–1.50, P = 0.011 for TT vs. CC; OR = 1.19, 95% CI = 1.03–1.37, P < 0.001 for TT vs. CC + CT; OR = 1.11, 95% CI = 1.02–1.22, P = 0.017 for T allele vs. C allele). In the further stratified analyses, the increased lung cancer risk was found in Asian subjects (OR = 1.31, 95% CI = 1.01–1.71, P = 0.045 for TT vs. CC; OR = 1.17, 95% CI = 1.00–1.38, P = 0.048 for TT vs. CC + CT). There were no evidences for obvious publication bias in the overall meta-analysis and Asian subjects.Conclusions
MTHFR 677TT genotype might increase the susceptibility of lung cancer, especially in Asians. 相似文献19.

Epidemiological studies have evaluated the association between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) risk. However, the results remain conflicting. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between MTHFRC677T polymorphism and POAG risk. All genetic association studies on MTHFR C677T polymorphism and POAG were systematically searched by the electronic databases PubMed, Embase and Web of Science. Study selection, data abstraction and study quality evaluation were conducted in duplicate independently. The strength of association between MTHFR C677T polymorphism and POAG was measured by odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Publication bias was tested by Begg's funnel plot and Egger's regression test. A total of 10 studies including 1224 cases and 1105 controls were included in our final meta-analysis. There was no evidence of significant association of the overall population (for allelic model: OR = 1.17, 95% CI = 0.94–1.46; for additive model: OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 0.85–1.57; for dominant model: OR = 1.19, 95% CI = 0.92–1.55 and for recessive model: OR = 1.11, 95% CI = 0.83–1.49). Significant associations were found between MTHFR C677T polymorphisms and POAG in allelic model (OR = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.05–1.83) and additive model (OR = 1.88, 95% CI = 1.04–3.43) for population-based (PB) subgroup. This meta-analysis suggested that there were significant associations between MTHFR C677T polymorphism and POAG in allelic model and additive model for PB subgroup which indicated that the T allele or TT genotype might increase the risk of POAG, whereas no evidence of significant association was shown of the overall studied population. However, this conclusion should be interpreted cautiously. More large sample-size and multi-ethnicity studies with well-defined POAG patients and well-study design are needed in the future study. 相似文献
