CHRNA3 rs1051730 polymorphism and lung cancer susceptibility in Asian population: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Many studies have examined the association between the CHRNA3 rs1051730 polymorphism gene polymorphisms and lung cancer risk in various populations, but their results have been inconsistent. The PubMed was searched for case-control studies published up to Jan 01, 2015. Data were extracted and pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. In this meta-analysis, we assessed four published studies involving comprising 2,890 lung cancer cases and 2,521 controls of the association between CHRNA3 rs1051730 polymorphism and lung cancer risk. For the T allele carriers (C/T + T/T) and the homozygote T/T, the pooled ORs for all studies combined 2,890 cases and 2,521 controls were 1.93 (95% CI =1.48-2.53, P=0.34 for heterogeneity) and 1.63 (95% CI =1.27-1.99, P=0.46 for heterogeneity), when compared with the homozygous wild-type genotype (C/C). There was no observable publication bias for both polymorphisms. These results from the meta-analysis suggest that CHRNA3 rs1051730 polymorphism contributes to risk of lung cancer among Asian population.

Project description:Recent lung cancer studies have focused on identifying the effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in candidate genes, among which DNA repair genes are increasingly being studied. Genetic variations in DNA repair genes are thought to modulate DNA repair capacity and are suggested to be related to lung cancer risk. In this study, we tried to assess reported studies of association between polymorphism of human 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (hOGG1) Ser326Cys and lung cancer. We conducted MEDLINE, Current Contents and Web of Science searches using "hOGG1", "lung cancer" and "polymorphism" as keywords to search for papers published (from January 1995 through August 2010). Data were combined using both a fixed effects (the inverse variance-weighted method) and a random effects (DerSimonian and Laird method) model. The Cochran Q test was used for the assessment of heterogeneity. Publication bias was assessed by both Begg's and Egger's tests. We identified 20 case-control studies in 21 different ethnic populations. As two studies were not in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, 18 case-control studies in 19 different ethnic populations (7,792 cases and 9,358 controls) were included in our meta-analysis. Summary frequencies of the Cys allele among aucasians and Asians based on the random effects model were 20.9% (95% confidence interval (CI) = 18.9-22.9) and 46.1% (95% CI = 40.2-52.0), respectively. The distribution of the Cys allele was significantly different between Asians and Caucasians (P < 0.001). The Cys/Cys genotype was significantly associated with lung cancer risk in Asian populations (odds ratio = 1.27, 95% CI = 1.09-1.48) but not in Caucasian populations. This ethnic difference in lung cancer risk may be due to environmental factors such as cigarette smoking and dietary factors. Although the summary risk for developing lung cancer may not be large, lung cancer is such a common malignancy that even a small increase in risk can translate to a large number of excess lung cancer cases. As lung cancer is a multifactorial disease, further investigations of the gene-gene and gene-environment interactions on the hOGG1 polymorphism-associated lung cancer risk may help to better understand of the molecular pathogenesis of human lung cancer.
