Current evidences on XPC polymorphisms and gastric cancer susceptibility: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Reduced DNA repair capacities due to inherited polymorphisms may increase the susceptibility to cancers including gastric cancer. Previous studies investigating the association between Xeroderma Pigmentosum group C (XPC) gene polymorphisms and gastric cancer risk reported inconsistent results. We performed a meta-analysis to summarize the possible association.

Methods

All studies published up to January 2014 on the association between XPC polymorphisms and gastric cancer risk were identified by searching electronic databases PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane library, and Chinese Biomedical Literature database (CBM). The association between XPC polymorphisms and gastric cancer risk was assessed by odds ratios (ORs) together with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Results

Six studies with 1,355 gastric cancer cases and 2,573 controls were finally included in the meta-analysis. With respect to Lys939Gln polymorphism, we did not observe a significant association when all studies were pooled into the meta-analysis. When stratified by ethnicity, source of control, and study quality, statistical significant association was not detected in all subgroups. With respect to Ala499Val and PAT-/+polymorphisms, we also did not observe any significant association with gastric cancer risk in the pooled analysis.

Conclusions

This meta-analysis based on current evidences suggested that the XPC polymorphisms (Lys939Gln, Val499Arg, and PAT-/+) did not contribute to gastric cancer risk. Considering the limited sample size and ethnicity included in the meta-analysis, further larger scaled and well-designed studies are needed to confirm our results.

Project description:BackgroundStudies investigating the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1) and prostate cancer (PCa) risk report conflicting results. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship between CYP1B1 polymorphisms and PCa risk, a meta-analysis was performed.Methodology/principal findingsA comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify all eligible studies of CYP1B1 polymorphisms and PCa risk. A total of 14 independent studies, including 6380 cases and 5807 controls, were identified. We investigated by meta-analysis the effects of 5 polymorphisms in CYP1B1 L432V (12 studies, 5999 cases, 5438 controls), R48G (6 studies, 1647 cases, 1846 controls), N453S (4 studies, 1407 cases, 1499 controls), -13C/T (4 studies, 1116 cases, 1114 controls), and A119S (4 studies, 1057 cases, 1018 controls). There was no evidence that L432V had significant association with PCa in overall population. After subgroup analyses by ethnicity, we found that L432V was significantly associated with PCa risk in Asians (additive: OR?=?2.38, 95%CI?=?1.31-4.33, P?=?0.004; recessive: OR?=?2.11, 95%CI?=?1.17-3.79, P?=?0.01; dominant: OR?=?1.52, 95%CI?=?1.14-2.01, P?=?0.004; allelic: OR?=?1.52, 95%CI?=?1.20-1.92, P?=?0.0006). When stratified by source of controls, significantly elevated PCa risk was found in all genetic models in population based studies (additive: OR?=?1.34, 95%CI?=?1.14-1.57, P?=?0.0003; recessive: OR?=?1.25, 95%CI?=?1.09-1.43, P?=?0.002; dominant: OR?=?1.25, 95%CI?=?1.11-1.41, P?=?0.0002; allelic: OR?=?1.18, 95%CI?=?1.09-1.28, P<0.0001). For N453S, there was a significant association between N453S polymorphism and PCa risk in both overall population (dominant: OR?=?1.18, 95%CI?=?1.00-1.38, P?=?0.04) and mixed population (domiant: OR?=?1.31, 95%CI?=?1.06-1.63, P?=?0.01; allelic: OR?=?1.27, 95%CI?=?1.05-1.54, P?=?0.01). For A119S, our analysis suggested that A119S was associated with PCa risk under recessive model in overall population (OR?=?1.37, 95%CI?=?1.04-1.80, P?=?0.03).ConclusionsThe results suggest that L432V, N453S, and A119S polymorphisms of CYP1B1 might be associated with the susceptibility of PCa. Further larger and well-designed multicenter studies are warranted to validate these findings.
