Abstract Background: We assessed the relationship between AGT gene M235T polymorphism and the susceptibility to cancer by performing an updated meta-analysis.Methods: This study retrospectively searched related articles in the electronic databases. Afterwards, we determined combined odds ratios (ORs) and related 95% confidence intervals (CIs) by the fixed- or random-effects model.Results: The present meta-analysis enrolled altogether 9 articles. On the whole, the relationship between AGT M235T polymorphism and the cancer risk was not significant among the entire population(TT vs MM:OR=1.28,95%CI=0.80-2.04;TM vs MM: OR=0.90, 95%CI = 0.53-1.52;Recessive model: OR= 1.13, 95%CI = 0.83-1.52; Dominant model: OR=0.93, 95%CI =0.55-1.57). But the relationship of AGT M235T polymorphism with the digestive cancer risk was significant upon subgroup analysis stratified according to cancer type (TT vs MM:OR=1.68,95%CI=1.11-2.54;TM vs MM: OR=1.34, 95%CI = 0.97-1.85;Recessive model: OR= 1.27, 95%CI = 0.95-1.70; Dominant model: OR=1.45, 95%CI =1.07-1.96).Conclusion: According to findings in the present meta-analysis, AGT M235T polymorphism may be possibly related to digestive cancer susceptibility.

Background. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes encoding microRNAs may play important role in the development of gastric cancer. It has been reported that common SNPs rs2910164 in miR-146a and rs11614913 in miR-196a2 are associated with susceptibility to gastric cancer. The published results remain inconclusive or even controversial. A meta-analysis was conducted to quantitatively assess potential association between the two common SNPs and gastric cancer risk.Methods. A comprehensive literature search was performed in multiple internet-based electronic databases. Data from 12 eligible studies were extracted to estimate pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).Results. C allele of rs2910164 is associated with reduced gastric cancer risk in heterozygote model and dominant model whereas rs11614913 indicates no significant association. Subgroup analysis demonstrates that C allele of rs2910164 and rs11614913 may decrease susceptibility to diffuse type gastric cancer in dominant model and recessive model, respectively, while rs11614913 increased intestinal type gastric cancer in dominant model.Conclusion. SNPs rs2910164 and rs11614913 might have effect on gastric cancer risk in certain genetic models and specific types of cancer. Further well-designed studies should be considered to validate the potential effect.

Abstract Prostate cancer is one of the most common noncutaneous malignancies in Western countries. Because there has been a debate regarding the relationship between the XRCC1-Arg399Gln and Arg280His polymorphisms and prostate cancer risk, we therefore performed this meta-analysis. The electronic databases PubMed, EMBASE and Medline were searched prior to October 1, 2014. An odds ratio and 95% confidence interval were used to calculate association. Heterogeneity was tested by both a chi-square test and I2statistic. Funnel plots and Egger’s test were used to assess publication bias. All statistical analyses were performed using STATA 12.0 software. A significant association between the XRCC1-Arg399Gln polymorphism and prostate cancer risk was found under a homozygote model and a recessive model. A significant association between XRCC1-Arg280His and prostate cancer risk was found under a heterozygote model and a dominant model. Overall, the results of this meta-analysis show that the XRCC1-Arg399Gln polymorphism may be associated with an increased risk for prostate cancer under the homozygote model and the recessive model. And XRCC1-Arg280His polymorphism is likely to be related with prostate cancer risk under the heterozygote model and the dominant model. Additional larger well-designed studies are needed to validate our results.

Abstract Background: LncRNA metastasis associated with lung adenocarcinoma transcript-1 (MALAT1) was involved in pathogenesis and progress of diverse cancers. To investigate the association of MALAT1 and cancer susceptibility, this meta-analysis was appraised.Methods: 12 studies including 7007 cancer patients and 8791 controls were selected for this meta-analysis. Ratio radiation (ORS) and 95% confidence interval (CIS) were used to assess cancer susceptibility.Results: There was no significant association between rs3200401 polymorphism and the risk of cancer. However, rs3200401 was correlated with an increased risk of digestive cancer in allelic model (OR=1.15, 95%CI=1.04-1.28, P=0.009) and dominant model (OR=1.16, 95%CI=1.02-1.31, P=0.02). There was a borderline association between rs664589 and cancer susceptibility under the dominant model (OR=1.17, 95%CI=1.00-1.38, P=0.05). Rs619586 was associated with decreased cancer risk in all populations under four models (G vs A: OR=0.86, 95%CI=0.78-0.94, P=0.001; GG vs AA: OR=0.60, 95%CI=0.42-0.84, P=0.003; GG+AG vs AA: OR=0.87, 95%CI=0.78-0.97, P=0.009; GG vs AG+AA: OR=0.61, 95%CI=0.44-0.84, P=0.003). Moreover, rs1194338 was decreased associated with cancer susceptibility (A vs C: OR=0.89, 95%CI=0.80-0.98, P=0.01; AA vs CC: OR=0.77, 95%CI=0.62-0.96, P=0.02; AA+AC vs CC: OR=0.87, 95%CI=0.77-1.00, P=0.04; AA vs AC+CC: OR=0.82, 95%CI=0.67-1.00, P=0.05).Conclusion: Our results suggest that rs619586 and rs1194338 are associated with decreased cancer risk, while rs3200401 and rs664589 correlated with increased digestive cancer risk.

Background: The relationship between hematological cancer susceptibility and methionine synthase MTR A2756G (rs1805087) polymorphism is inconclusive based on data from past studies. Hence, this updated meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between methionine synthase reductase (MTR) rs1805087 polymorphism and hematological cancers. Method: We searched EMBASE, Google Scholar, Ovid and PubMed databases for possible relevant articles up to December 31, 2019. Results: The overall pooled outcome of our analysis showed lack of association between the risk of hematological malignancies and MTR A2756G polymorphism under the allele model (G vs A: odds ratio = 1.001, 95% CI: 0.944–1.061; p = 0.983), recessive model (GG vs GA + AA: odds ratio = 1.050, 95% CI: 0.942–1.170; p = 0.382). Conclusion: The findings in this study demonstrate a lack of relationship between hematological cancers and MTR A2756G.

Objective: Although the angiotensinogen ( AGT) gene T174M polymorphism has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN), study results have been inconsistent. The present meta-analysis was conducted to determine the correlation of AGT T174M polymorphism with DN. Methods: We retrospectively extracted relevant studies from Embase as well as PubMed databases. Additionally, a fixed- or random-effects model was employed for calculation of pooled odds ratio (OR) along with 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: In total, we identified six studies (1179 cases and 927 controls) regarding the AGT gene T174M polymorphism. The pooled ORs for the association between the AGT T174M polymorphism and DN risk were not statistically significant under all genetic models (M vs T: OR = 1.22, 95% CI = 0.84–1.75; MM vs TT: OR = 1.94, 95% CI = 0.93–4.04; MT vs TT: OR = 1.11, 95% CI = 0.76–1.63; the dominant model: OR =1.19, 95% CI = 0.80–1.77; the recessive model: OR = 1.94, 95% CI = 0.93–4.03). Subgroup analyses based on the type of race showed the M allele of the AGT T174M polymorphism increased DN risk in Asians, but not in Caucasians. Conclusions: Our study indicated that the T174M polymorphism in the AGT gene was associated with DN in Asians.

Background Several studies have reported correlations between BRCA1 polymorphisms rs799917 and rs1799966 with the risk of breast cancer (BC). However, this relationship remains controversial. Methods We conducted a meta-analysis of seven studies to assess the associations between BRCA1 rs799917 and rs1799966 and BC risk, with the aim of more accurately determining the potential correlation. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated to evaluate the correlation of rs799917 and rs1799966 with BC risk. Results There was no overall correlation between BRCA1 rs799917 and BC risk (TT vs CC: OR = 0.87, 95% CI = 0.66–1.16; CT vs CC: OR = 1.02, 95% CI = 0.89–1.15; dominant model: OR = 0.99, 95% CI = 0.88–1.11; recessive model: OR = 0.87, 95% CI = 0.65–1.16). Subgroup analysis by ethnicity also revealed no significant correlation between rs799917 and BC risk in either Asians or Caucasians. There was also no significant association between BRCA1 rs1799966 and BC risk (GG vs AA: OR = 0.70, 95% CI = 0.33–1.47; AG vs AA: OR = 0.68, 95% CI = 0.35–1.30; dominant model: OR = 0.76, 95% CI = 0.49–1.06; recessive model: OR = 0.82, 95% CI = 0.49–1.36). Conclusion BRCA1polymorphisms rs799917 and rs1799966 were not significantly associated with BC risk in this meta-analysis.

This meta-analysis was conducted to assess the consistency and strength of the relationship between polymorphism of IL-2 -330T/G and susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). PubMed, Web of Knowledge and CNKI were searched to find eligible studies about the relationship between IL-2 -330T/G polymorphism and susceptibility to pulmonary TB. A total of eight studies comprising 971 cases and 1519 controls were grouped together for the purpose of elucidating the relationship between polymorphism of IL-2 -330T/G and pulmonary TB susceptibility. The allele model (G vs. T: odds ratio (OR) = 1.34; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.05–1.71, Phet = 0.001) and the recessive model (GG+GT vs. TT: OR = 1.60; 95% CI 1.08–2.38, Phet = 0.0001) showed an increased risk of development of pulmonary TB. However, the homozygous model (GG vs. TT: OR = 1.74; 95% CI 0.98–3.09, Phet = 0.0005) and the dominant model (GG vs. TT + TG: OR = 1.30; 95% CI = 0.80-2.14, Phet =  0.001) failed to show an increased incidence of pulmonary TB. When analysis was stratified by ethnicity, no obvious associations were identified in the Caucasian subgroup under all four genetic models. Additionally, heterogeneity disappeared in the analysis of Caucasian subgroup. Our combined data suggested that there was no association between IL-2 -330T/G polymorphism and pulmonary TB among Caucasians.

Objective The relationship between interleukin-8 ( IL8) −251A/T polymorphism and tuberculosis (TB) risk remains controversial. Therefore, the present meta-analysis was performed by retrieving relevant studies from the available literature. Methods We comprehensively searched three databases to identify eligible literature on the relationship of IL8 −251A/T polymorphism with TB risk, calculated pooled odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI), and subsequent evaluated the heterogeneity and publication bias. Results We found that IL8 −251A/T polymorphism increased TB risk (AA vs. TT: OR = 2.86, 95%CI: 1.46–5.60; AT vs. TT: OR = 1.64, 95%CI: 1.15–2.34; dominant model: OR = 1.88, 95%CI: 1.24–2.86; recessive model: OR = 1.77, 95%CI: 1.17–2.69). Subgroup analyses based on race revealed that the IL8 −251A/T polymorphism might be associated with the risk of TB in African but not Asian individuals. Conclusion The IL8 −251A/T polymorphism might be related to the risk of TB. Nevertheless, large-scale studies should be performed to confirm the role of IL8 −251A/T polymorphism on TB risk.

Background Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world. Several observational studies have suggested a significant association of the MDM4 SNP34091 A>C polymorphism with cancers. However, the results of the published studies are inconsistent. Materials and methods PubMed, Embase/Ovid and the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure were searched for relevant studies with a time limit of April 20, 2016. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to evaluate the strength of the association between MDM4 polymorphism and cancer risk. Publication bias was estimated using Begg's funnel plots and Egger's regression test. Results A total of 19,328 patients and 51,058 controls were included in the analysis. Overall, a significantly decreased risk of cancer was associated with MDM4 SNP34091 polymorphism for the allele model (C vs. A, OR = 0.715, 95% CI: 0.622-0.821, p = 0.000), dominant model (CC + AC vs. AA, OR = 0.684, 95% CI: 0.563-0.831, p = 0.000), recessive model (CC vs. AC + AA, OR = 1.139, 95% CI = 1.055-1.230, p = 0.001) and heterozygote model (AC vs. AA, OR = 0.687, 95% CI = 0.568-0.832). In the subgroup analysis by cancer type, no significant association was found in the breast cancer subgroup. In the subgroup analysis by geographical region, 2 genetic models, the allele and heterozygote models, showed a significant association in Chinese populations. Conclusions The results of our meta-analysis showed that the MDM4 SNP34091 A>C polymorphism may function as a protective factor against cancer risk.
