Association between the STK15 F31I polymorphism and cancer susceptibility: a meta-analysis involving 43,626 subjects.

ABSTRACT: The association between the Serine/threonine kinase 15 (STK15) F31I polymorphism (rs2273535) and cancer susceptibility remains controversial. To further investigate this potential relationship, we conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis of 27 published studies involving a total of 19,267 multiple cancer cases and 24,359 controls. Our results indicate statistical evidence of an association between the STK15 F31I polymorphism and the increased risk of overall cancer in four genetic models: AA vs. TA+TT, AA vs. TT, AA vs. TA, and A vs. T. In a stratified analysis by cancer type, there was an increased risk of breast cancer in four genetic models: AA vs. TA+TT, AA vs. TT, AA vs. TA, and A vs. T, as well as esophageal cancer in two genetic models: AA vs. TA+TT and AA vs. TA. In a stratified analysis by ethnicity, there was a significant increase in cancer risk among Asians, but not Caucasians, in four genetic models: AA vs. TA+TT, AA vs. TT, AA vs. TA and A vs. T. In addition, a stratified analysis by ethnicity in the breast cancer subgroup revealed a significant increase in cancer risk among Asians in two genetic models: AA vs. TA+TT and AA vs. TT, as well as among Caucasians in one genetic model: AA vs. TA. In summary, this meta-analysis demonstrates that the STK15 F31I polymorphism may be a risk factor for cancer.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) gene plays a key role in response to DNA lesions and is related to the invasion and metastasis of malignancy. Epidemiological studies have indicated associations between ATM rs1801516 polymorphism and different types of cancer, but their results are inconsistent. To further evaluate the effect of ATM rs1801516 polymorphism on cancer risk, we conducted this meta-analysis. METHODS:Studies were identified according to specific inclusion criteria by searching PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) under recessive, dominant, codominant, and overdominant models of inheritance were calculated to estimate the association between rs1801516 polymorphism and cancer risk. RESULTS:A total of 37 studies with 12,879 cases and 18,054 controls were included in our study. No significant association was found between rs1801516 polymorphism and cancer risk in overall comparisons (AA vs GG?+?GA: OR?=?0.91, 95% CI, 0.78-1.07; AA+GA vs GG: OR?=?1.00, 95% CI, 0.90-1.11; AA vs GG: OR?=?0.89, 95% CI, 0.75-1.06; GA vs GG: OR?=?1.01, 95% CI, 0.91-1.13; GG?+?AA vs GA: OR?=?1.00, 95% CI, 0.88-1.10). However, after subgroup analyses by region-specified population, significant associations were found in European (AA vs GG?+?GA: OR?=?0.79, 95% CI, 0.65-0.96, P?=?0.017; AA vs GG: OR?=?0.79, 95% CI, 0.65-0.96, P?=?0.017), South American (AA+GA vs GG: OR?=?2.15, 95% CI, 1.37-3.38, P?=?0.001; GA vs GG: OR?=?2.19, 95% CI, 1.38-3.47, P?=?0.001; GG?+?AA vs GA: OR?=?0.46, 95% CI, 0.29-0.72, P?=?0.001), and Asian (AA vs GG?+?GA: OR?=?7.45, 95% CI, 1.31-42.46, P?=?0.024; AA vs GG: OR?=?7.40, 95% CI, 1.30-42.19, P?=?0.024). Subgroup analyses also revealed that compared with subjects carrying a GG genotype, those carrying a homozygote AA had a decreased risk for breast cancer (AA vs GG: OR?=?0.76, 95% CI, 0.59-0.98, P?=?0.035), and the homozygote AA was associated with decreased cancer risk in subjects with family history (AA vs GG: OR?=?0.68, 95% CI, 0.47-0.98, P?=?0.039). CONCLUSIONS:ATM rs1801516 polymorphism is not associated with overall cancer risk in total population. However, for subgroup analyses, this polymorphism is especially associated with breast cancer risk; in addition, it is associated with overall cancer risk in Europeans, South Americans, Asians, and those with family history.

Project description:ObjectivesThe Ser326Cys polymorphism in the human 8-oxogunaine glycosylase (hOGG1) gene with lung cancer susceptibility had been investigated, but results were inconsistent and underpowered. The aim of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis assessing the association of hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism with risk of lung cancer.Materials and methodsRelevant studies were identified through a search of MEDLINE, PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and Chinese Biomedical Literature database (CBM) using terms "lung cancer", "hOGG1" or "OGG1", "polymorphism" or "variation" and the last search updated on May 1, 2013. In this meta-analysis, we assessed 30 published studies involving 22,475 subjects that investigated the association between the hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism and lung cancer susceptibility.ResultsOverall, the hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism was not associated with lung cancer susceptibility in different genetic models (dominant model comparison: OR = 0.133; 95% CI = 0.111-0.161; P(heterogeneity) = 0.000), and recessive model: OR = 0.543; 95% CI = 0.399-0.739; P(heterogeneity) = 0.000). Similarly, in the stratified analyses by ethnicity, significantly increased risks were found among Asians for homozygote comparison (OR = 0.850; 95% CI = 0.732 0.986; P(heterogeneity) = 0.064), and dominant model (OR = 0.160; 95% CI = 0.137-0.187; P(heterogeneity) = 0.001), and Caucasians for dominant model (OR = 1.35; 95% CI = 1.03-1.77; P(heterogeneity) = 0.015), and recessive model (OR = 1.35; 95% CI = 1.03-1.77; P(heterogeneity) = 0.015). In population-based populations, marginally significant increased risks were found in dominant model (OR = 0.143; 95% CI = 0.111 0.184; P(heterogeneity) = 0.000) and recessive model (OR = 0.429; 95% CI = 0.261-0.705; P(heterogeneity) = 0.000). We also found a significant difference between hOGG1 Ser326Cys genotype and lung cancer susceptibility in studies with hospital-based controls for homozygote model (OR = 0.798; 95% CI = 0.649-0.982; P(heterogeneity )= 0.007),dominant model (OR = 0.122; 95% CI = 0.091-0.163; P(heterogeneity) = 0.000).ConclusionOur data showed that the hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism contributed to the risk of lung cancer.Virtual slidesThe virtual slides for this article can be found here: http://www.diagnosticpathology.diagnomx.eu/vs/3842531131031605.
