The association of six non-synonymous variants in three DNA repair genes with hepatocellular carcinoma risk: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Hepatocellular carcinoma is a complex polygenic disease. Despite the huge advances in genetic epidemiology, it still remains a challenge to unveil the genetic architecture of hepatocellular carcinoma. We, therefore, decided to meta-analytically assess the association of six non-synonymous coding variants from XRCC1, XRCC3 and XPD genes with hepatocellular carcinoma risk by pooling the results of 20 English articles. This meta-analysis was conducted according to the PRISMA statement, and data collection was independently completed in duplicate. In overall analyses, the minor alleles of four variants, Arg280His (odds ratio, 95% confidence interval, P: 1.37, 1.13-1.66, 0.001), Thr241Met (1.93, 1.17-3.20, 0.011), Asp312Asn (1.22, 1.08-1.38, 0.001) and Lys751Gln (1.42, 1.02-1.97, 0.038), were associated with the significant risk for hepatocellular carcinoma. There were low probabilities of publication bias for all variants. Subgroup analyses revealed significant association of XRCC1 gene Arg399Gln with hepatocellular carcinoma in Chinese especially from south China (odds ratio, 95% confidence interval, P: 1.57, 1.16-2.14, 0.004), in larger studies (1.48, 1.11-1.98, 0.007) and in studies with population-based controls (1.33, 1.06-1.68, 0.016). Taken together, our findings demonstrated that XPD gene Asp312Asn and XRCC1 gene Arg399Gln might be candidate susceptibility loci for hepatocellular carcinoma. Considering the ubiquity of genetic heterogeneity, further validation in a broad range of ethnic populations is warranted.

Project description:To perform a systematic meta-analysis to investigate the association between X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) polymorphisms and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk.Relevant studies extracted from PubMed, Embase, Wanfang, VIP and the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure databases up to March 2012 were included in the study. Stata software, version 11.0, was used for the statistical analysis. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of the XRCC1 polymorphisms in HCC patients were analyzed and compared with healthy controls. The meta-analysis was performed using fixed-effect or random-effect methods, depending on the absence or presence of significant heterogeneity.Eleven studies with 2075 HCC cases and 2604 controls met our eligibility criteria (four studies, 888 cases and 938 controls for Arg194Trp, four studies, 858 cases and 880 controls for Arg280His, and nine studies, 1845 cases and 2401 controls for Arg399Gln). The meta-analysis revealed no associations between the Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln polymorphisms of the XRCC1 gene and HCC risk under all contrast models (codominant, dominant and recessive models) in the overall analysis and sensitivity analysis (the studies with controls not in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were excluded). For XRCC1 Arg280His polymorphism, the overall analysis revealed the significant association between the His/His genotype and the increased risk of HCC (His/His vs Arg/Arg model, OR: 1.96, 95% CI: 1.03-3.75, P = 0.04). However, sensitivity analysis showed an altered pattern of result and non-significant association (OR: 2.06, 95% CI: 0.67-6.25, P = 0.20). The heterogeneity hypothesis test did not reveal any heterogeneity, and Begg's and Egger's tests did not find any obvious publication bias.The XRCC1 Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln polymorphisms are not associated with HCC risk. More rigorous association studies are needed to verify the involvement of XRCC1 Arg280His polymorphism in HCC susceptibility.
