Association between XRCC1 polymorphisms and the risk of cervical cancer: a meta-analysis based on 4895 subjects.

ABSTRACT: The present meta-analysis was intended to explore the relationship between the X-ray repair cross complementing 1 (XRCC1) polymorphisms (Arg194Trp, Arg280His and Arg399Gln) and cervical cancer risk. Several electronic databases were searched systematically and bibliographies of relevant papers were identified carefully. Then, a meta-analysis was performed based on eligible studies in various genetic models. Pooled odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were employed to evaluate the strength of associations between the XRCC1 polymorphisms and cervical cancer risk. Additionally, heterogeneity analysis and sensitivity analysis were done if necessary. Totally, 11 articles involving 2092 cases and 2803 controls were included. Taken together, there was no obvious association between the Arg194Trp or Arg280His polymorphism and cervical cancer risk. Considering the great heterogeneity, subgroup analysis was done, but the pooled result remained stable. Nevertheless, the association between the Arg399Gln polymorphism and cervical cancer risk showed distinct statistic significance in the allele model, dominant model, homozygous model and heterozygous model. In view of the exiting heterogeneity, we did subgroup analysis stratified by ethnicity, resulting in the fact that the Arg399Gln polymorphism was related to the decreased risk of cervical cancer. The Begg's test and Egger's test were used to find no publication bias. To conclude, the current meta-analysis indicated that the XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism decreased the risk of cervical cancer, while the Arg194Trp and Arg280His polymorphisms were not associated with cervical caner risk. Certainly, a well-designed large-scale multicenter study is warranted to confirm the finding.

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.
