Single nucleotide polymorphism of rs2596542 and the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma development: A meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Major histocompatibility complex class I-related chain A (MICA) is considered as a tumor antigen, and its expression is affected by its genetic polymorphisms. However, the relationship between rs2596542 polymorphisms in MICA promoter region and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is not fully elucidated so far. This study aims to explore the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphism of rs2596542 and the risk of HCC development through meta-analysis. METHODS:MEDLINE, Web of Science, and EMBASE databases were systematically searched to identify relevant studies. A meta-analysis was performed to examine the association between MICA rs2596542 polymorphism and susceptibility to HCC. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated. RESULTS:Fourteen case-control studies involving 4,900 HCC cases and 19,519 controls were included. The MICA rs2596542C allele was significantly associated with decreased risk of HCC based on allelic contrast (OR?=?0.76, 95% CI?=?0.69-0.83, P?

Project description:BackgroundCyclin D1 (CCND1) G870A polymorphism may be associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk, but the results of previous studies were inconsistent. Available evidence was meta-analyzed to assess their potential association.MethodsDatabases PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Chinese Biomedical Literature database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Google Scholar were systematically searched. Meta-analyses were performed to investigate the association of G870A polymorphism with HCC risk by calculating odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) from the data of relevant case-control studies.ResultsResults of this meta-analysis of six case-control studies involving 1,030 cases and 1,683 controls indicate that G870A polymorphism was not associated with HCC risk in any of the five genetic models tested (recessive model: AA vs GG + AG: OR =1.38, 95% CI =0.95-2.00, P=0.09; dominant model: AG + AA vs GG: OR =1.38, 95% CI =0.87-2.20, P=0.17; homozygous model: AA vs GG: OR =1.60, 95% CI =0.87-2.94, P=0.13; heterozygous model: AG vs GG: OR =1.24, 95% CI =0.86-1.79, P=0.25; allelic model: A vs G: OR =1.30, 95% CI =0.95-1.80, P=0.10). Subgroup analyses according to ethnicity showing marginally significant association between this single nucleotide polymorphism and HCC risk indicate that G870A may be significantly associated with HCC risk in Caucasian populations (recessive model: AA vs GG + AG: OR =2.34, 95% CI =1.60-3.42, P<0.0001; dominant model: AG + AA vs GG: OR =2.44, 95% CI =1.19-4.97, P=0.01; homozygous model: AA vs GG: OR =3.42, 95% CI =1.80-6.50, P=0.0002; allelic model: A vs G: OR =2.06, 95% CI =1.31-3.24, P=0.002), but not in Asian populations.ConclusionAvailable evidence suggests that no significant association between G870A polymorphism and HCC risk was found in either total populations or Asian populations. However, significant association was found in Caucasian populations. These results should be verified and extended in further detailed and well-designed studies involving larger, multiethnic samples.

Project description:BackgroundMethylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a key enzyme in the metabolism of folate. The non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (nsSNP), C677T (Ala>Val, rs1801133), has been verified to impair enzyme activity. The association with cancer susceptibility, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), has also been widely studied. The results, however, were inconsistent. To shed light on the influence of MTHFR C677T polymorphism on HCC, a meta-analysis was conducted.MethodsThe meta-analysis of C677T consisted of 10 studies (1814 cases/2862 controls). The association was measured by using random-effect (RE) or fixed-effect (FE) odds ratio (OR) combined with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) according to the studies' heterogeneity.ResultsUsing genetic model analysis, C677T polymorphism was found to increase the risk of HCC in a complete overdominant model, which indicates that heterozygotes CT are at a lesser risk of HCC than either homozygotes CC or TT. Meta-analyses of the 10 studies showed that the TT genotype increased the risk of HCC as compared to the CT genotype: FE OR was 1.20 (95%CI: 1.00-1.45, p for heterogeneity = 0.21). When subgroup analysis was done between the HCC cases and the chronic liver disease (CLD) patients of four studies, meta-analysis showed that individuals with the TT genotype had increased HCC risk compared with those with the CT genotype: FE OR (TT vs. CT) reached 1.81 (1.22-2.71, p for heterogeneity = 0.25). Meanwhile, the C677T polymorphism also increased HCC risk in a recessive model when cases were compared to CLD patients of four studies: RE OR reached 1.85 (95%CI: 1.00-3.42, p for heterogeneity = 0.06). Overall, there was some extent heterogeneity when analyses were performed in various models. There was no publication bias.ConclusionMTHFR C677T polymorphism increased the risk of HCC in an overdominant model, and might be a risk factor for HCC occurrence, especially in CLD patients. The association warranted further studies.
