Association between the XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism and risk of cancer: evidence from 297 case-control studies.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The Arg399Gln polymorphism in the X-ray cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) had been implicated in cancer susceptibility. The previous published data on the association between XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism and cancer risk remained controversial. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: To derive a more precise estimation of the association between the XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism and overall cancer risk, we performed a meta-analysis of 297 case-control studies, in which a total of 93,941 cases and 121,480 controls were included. Overall, significantly increased cancer risk was observed in any genetic model (dominant model: odds ration [OR] = 1.04, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.01-1.07; recessive model: OR = 1.08, 95% CI = 1.03-1.13; additive model: OR = 1.09, 95% CI = 1.04-1.14) when all eligible studies were pooled into the meta-analysis. In further stratified and sensitivity analyses, significantly elevated hepatocellular and breast cancers risk were observed in Asians (dominant model: OR = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.06-1.84) and in Indians (dominant model: OR = 1.64, 95% CI = 1.31-2.04; recessive model: OR = 1.94, 95% CI = 1.09-3.47; additive model: OR = 2.06, 95% CI = 1.50-2.84), respectively. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: This meta-analysis suggests the participation of XRCC1 Arg399Gln is a genetic susceptibility for hepatocellular cancer in Asians and breast cancer in Indians. Moreover, our work also points out the importance of new studies for Arg399Gln association in some cancer types, such as glioma, gastric cancer, and oral 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 XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism in cancer development.

Project description:BackgroundX-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) is one of the DNA repair genes encoding a scaffolding protein that participate in base excision repair (BER) pathway. However, studies on the association between polymorphisms in this gene and glioma have yielded conflicting results. This meta-analysis was performed to derive a more precise estimation between XRCC1 polymorphisms (Arg399Gln, Arg194Trp, and Arg280His) and glioma risk.MethodsData were collected from several electronic databases, with the last search up to November 28, 2012. Meta-analysis was performed by critically reviewing 9 studies for Arg399Gln polymorphism (3146 cases and 4296 controls), 4 studies for Arg194Trp polymorphism (2557 cases and 4347 controls), and 4 studies for Arg280His polymorphism (1936 cases and 2895 controls). All of the statistical analyses were performed using the software programs STATA (version 11.0).ResultsThe combined results showed that Arg399Gln polymorphism was significantly associated with glioma risk (Gln/Gln versus Arg/Arg: OR = 1.52, 95% CI = 1.03-2.23; recessive model: OR = 1.32, 95% CI = 1.01-1.73; additive model: OR = 1.21, 95% CI = 1.00-1.47), whereas Arg194Trp/Arg280His polymorphisms were all not significantly associated with glioma risk. As for ethnicity, Arg399Gln polymorphism was associated with increased risk of glioma among Asians (Gln/Gln versus Arg/Arg: OR = 1.78, 95% CI = 1.29-2.47; Arg/Gln versus Arg/Arg: OR = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.05-1.56; recessive model: OR = 1.59, 95% CI = 1.16-2.17; dominant model: OR = 1.36, 95% CI = 1.13-1.65; additive model: OR = 1.32, 95% CI = 1.15-1.52), but not among Caucasians. Stratified analyses by histological subtype indicated that the Gln allele of Arg399Gln polymorphism showed borderline association with the risk of glioblastoma among Caucasians. However, no evidence was observed in subgroup analyses for Arg194Trp/Arg280His polymorphisms.ConclusionsOur meta-analysis suggested that Arg399Gln polymorphism was associated with increased risk of glioma among Asians and borderline increased risk for glioblastoma among Caucasians, whereas Arg194Trp/Arg280His polymorphisms might have no influence on the susceptibility of glioma in different ethnicities.

Project description:ObjectivePrevious studies have reported an association between cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) polymorphism and gastric cancer (GC) susceptibility, but their results are controversial. This meta-analysis was intended to evaluate the relationship between the COX-2 rs20417 polymorphism and GC susceptibility in different ethnic groups.MethodsWe searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Knowledge, and the Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM) for relevant case-control studies published up to October 6, 2018, which reported an association between the COX-2 rs20417 polymorphism and gastric cancer risk. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of this association.Results15 papers detailing case-control studies were included in the analysis, which included a total of 2848 GC cases and 4962 healthy controls. The meta-analysis results indicated that the COX-2 rs20417 polymorphism was associated with increased GC susceptibility under allele (G vs C: OR = 1.67, 95%CI = 1.19-2.35, P = .003), heterozygous (GG vs CG: OR = 1.44, 95%CI = 1.03-2.02, P = .034), dominant (GC+CC vs GG: OR = 1.66, 95%CI = 1.18-2.34, P = .004), homozygous (GG vs CC:OR = 2.20, 95%CI = 1.07-4.54, P = .033), and recessive models (CC vs GG+CG:OR = 2.05, 95%CI = 1.09-3.85, P = .025). An analysis of ethnic subgroups revealed that the COX-2 rs20417 polymorphism was significantly associated with GC susceptibility in Asians under all 5 models (G vs C: OR = 2.22, 95%CI = 1.66-2.96, P < .001; GG vs CC: OR = 4.29, 95%CI = 1.94-9.50, P < .001; GG vs CG: OR = 1.86, 95%CI = 1.34-2.58, P < .001; CC vs GG+CG: OR = 3.73, 95%CI = 1.92-7.24, P < .001; GC+CC vs GG: OR = 2.20, 95%CI = 1.65-2.93, P < .001). Helicobacter pylori positive patients suffered a high risk of GC, compared to H pylori negative patients under the dominant model (OR = 3.09, 95%CI = 1.80-5.32, P < .001).ConclusionThis meta-analysis of 15 case-control studies provides strong evidence that the COX-2 rs20417 polymorphism increases the risk of GC susceptibility in general populations, especially in Asians. Helicobacter pylori positive patients and those with the COX-2 rs20417 polymorphism had a higher risk of developing GC.
