Association between TNF-?-238G/A gene polymorphism and OCD susceptibility: A meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-?) is an important cytokine and has been reported to be associated with the pathogenesis of many autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. TNF-? gene is located on a region that has been found to be associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). We performed this meta-analysis to assess the relationship between susceptibility to OCD and the TNF-?-238G/A gene polymorphism.An extensive search of the available literature on the association between the susceptibility to OCD and the TNF gene polymorphism was conducted by searching PubMed, Web of Knowledge, Embase, Chinese Web of Knowledge, Wanfang, and Chongqing VIP database. The database was searched up to December 2016 and includes language of English and/or Chinese with the keywords of "obsessive-compulsive disorder" or "OCD," polymorphism or variant or mutation, "tumor necrosis factor" or "TNF" or "cytokine." The association between TNF-?-238G/A gene polymorphism and the susceptibility of OCD was anticipated by odds ratio (OR) with the corresponding 95% confidence interval (95% CI).Four studies including 435 cases and 1073 controls were incorporated in our meta-analysis. In general, TNF-?-238G/A gene polymorphism might lead to a decreased risk of OCD susceptibility (G vs A genotype model: OR?=?1.01, 95% CI?=?0.37-2.77, P?=?.981; GG vs AA+AG model: OR?=?0.93, 95% CI?=?0.37-2.36, P?=?.879; GG+AG vs AA model: OR?=?0.22, 95% CI?=?0.06-0.73, P?=?.014; GG vs AA model: OR?=?0.21, 95% CI?=?0.06-0.71, P?=?.012; AG vs AA model: OR?=?0.29, 95% CI?=?0.07-1.16, P?=?.081; GG+AA vs AG model: OR?=?1.17, 95% CI?=?0.55-2.51, P?=?.683).TNF-?-238G/A gene polymorphism might lead to a decreased risk of OCD susceptibility.

Project description:Background and objectiveThe association between TNF-α -308 G/A polymorphism and COPD remains controversial due to insufficiently strict study designs and small group sizes among different studies. In the present study, a meta-analysis update which followed a stricter procedure was performed to obtain a clearer understanding of this association.MethodsA comprehensive database search was conducted to identify the case-control studies published up to July 2015 which reported an association between the TNF-α -308 G/A polymorphism and COPD risk. Data were extracted to calculate pooled odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals under the most appropriate genetic and allelic models. Sensitivity was analyzed, and heterogeneity as well as publication bias was assessed.ResultsThirty-eight eligible studies, comprising 3,951 COPD cases and 5,110 controls, were included in this study, among which 22 studies comprising 2,067 COPD cases and 2,167 controls were performed in Asians, and 16 studies comprising 1,884 COPD cases and 2,943 controls were in non-Asians. The overall result showed that TNF-α -308 G/A polymorphisms were significantly associated with increased COPD risk in both the codominant genetic and allelic models. Individuals with the GA or AA genotype were more susceptible to COPD development than those with the GG genotype. In addition, individuals with the AA genotype were more susceptible to developing COPD than those with the GA genotype. The subgroup analysis stratified by ethnicity supported the results in Asians but not in non-Asians. However, no association was found between TNF-α -308 G/A polymorphisms and COPD susceptibility either in Asians or in non-Asians in the meta-analysis conducted with restriction to former/current smokers.ConclusionThe present meta-analysis suggested that the TNF-α -308 G/A polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of COPD among Asians but not in non-Asians. Furthermore, individuals with the AA genotype of TNF-α -308 were more susceptible to developing COPD.

Project description:To investigate the association between the susceptibility to cervical cancer and the single nucleotide polymorphisms of 5 tumor necrosis factor-α promoter genes (rs361525, rs1800629, rs1800750, rs1799964, and rs673) in Chinese women. A total of 946 peripheral blood samples were collected from women of Han Ethnicity in Shandong province. Of them, 452 were diagnosed with cervical squamous cell carcinomas. The study also included a control group of 494 healthy women. The targeted single nucleotide polymorphisms were analyzed by TaqMan probe method. (1) The rate of high-risk subtype human papillomavirus infection in exfoliated cervical epithelial cells was significantly higher in patients with cervical cancer than the control group (91.4% vs 10.3%, P < .01). The rate of human papillomavirus infection was lower in patients with carcinoma in situ than those with invasive carcinoma (77.9% vs 95.4%, P < .01). (2) There was a significant difference for rs361525 genotype (CC/CT/TT) between the control, carcinoma in situ, and invasive carcinoma groups ( P < .001). Both rs1800629 and rs1799964 genotypes (both GG/GA/AA) were also different between these groups ( P < .001 and P < .001). (3) The allele frequencies of rs361525, rs1800629, and rs1799964 were significantly correlated with the diagnosis of cervical cancer. The frequency of T allele in rs361525 was significantly higher for cervical cancer group (10.8%) than control group (3.8%; odds ratio = 3.04, 95% confidence interval = 1.76-5.25, P < .01). The frequency of A allele in rs1800629 was significantly higher for cervical cancer (29.9%) than control group (14.2%; odds ratio = 2.58, 95% confidence interval = 1.87-3.56, P < .01). The frequency of A allele in rs1799964 was also higher for cervical cancer group (38.3%) than control group (16.4%; odds ratio = 1.43, 95% confidence interval = 1.07-1.91, P < .05). The rs361525, rs1800629, and rs17999645 were significantly correlated with the diagnosis of cervical cancer.

Project description:Estrogen has played an important role in the development of breast cancer. ER-? PvuII gene polymorphism is in close association with the occurrence risk of breast cancer, but no consensus has been achieved currently.PubMed, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database, Wanfang database, and VIP database were retrieved to collect the case-control studies on association between ER? gene Pvu II polymorphism and breast cancer risk published before September 1, 2017. Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to assess the quality of the literatures, Stata 14.0 software was applied for meta-analysis, and the pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were calculated. The subgroup analysis was performed to assess the confounding factors, followed by assessment of publication bias and sensitivity analysis.A total of 26 studies were enrolled in the analysis based on inclusion criteria, which included 15,360 patients and 26,423 controls. The results demonstrated that ER? gene Pvu II polymorphism was in significant association with the decrease of breast cancer risk in 3 genetic models (C vs T, OR?=?0.962, 95% CI?=?0.933-0.992, P?=?.012; CC vs TT, OR?=?0.911, 95% CI?=?0.856-0.969, P?=?.003; CC vs TT/CT, OR?=?0.923, 95% CI?=?0.874-0.975, P?=?.004). Subgroup analysis was conducted on the basis of ethnicity and source of controls, whose results illustrated that ER? gene Pvu II polymorphism was in significant association with the decrease of breast cancer risk in Asians rather than in Caucasians (CC vs TT, OR?=?0.862, 95% CI?=?0.750-0.922, P?=?.038; CC vs TT/CT, OR?=?0.851, 95% CI?=?0.755-0.959, P?=?.008). In population-based subgroup rather than in hospital-based subgroup, ER? gene Pvu II polymorphism was in significant association with the decrease of breast cancer risk in the allele model, homozygous model, dominant model, and recessive model (C vs T, OR?=?0.943, 95% CI?=?0.911-0.977, P?=?.001; CC vs TT, OR?=?0.878, 95% CI?=?0.817-0.944, P?=?.000; CC/CT vs TT, OR?=?0.936, 95% CI?=?0.881-0.994, P?=?.031; CC vs TT/CT, OR?=?0.902, 95% CI?=?0.847-0.960, P?=?.001).ER? gene Pvu II polymorphism exerts an important function in the progression of breast cancer.
