The potential role of MGMT rs12917 polymorphism in cancer risk: an updated pooling analysis with 21010 cases and 34018 controls.

ABSTRACT: In the present study, we aimed at determining the potential role of rs12917 polymorphism of the O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) gene in the occurrence of cancer. Based on the available data from the online database, we performed an updated meta-analysis. We retrieved 537 articles from our database research and finally selected a total of 54 case-control studies (21010 cases and 34018 controls) for a series of pooling analyses. We observed an enhanced risk in cancer cases compared with controls, using the genetic models T/T compared with C/C (P-value of association test <0.001; odds ratio (OR) = 1.29) and T/T compared with C/C+C/T (P<0.001; OR = 1.32). We detected similar positive results in the subgroups 'Caucasian', and 'glioma' (all P<0.05; OR > 1). However, we detected negative results in our analyses of most of the other subgroups (P>0.05). Begg's and Egger's tests indicated that the results were free of potential publication bias, and sensitivity analysis suggested the stability of the pooling results. In summary, the T/T genotype of MGMT rs12917 is likely to be linked to an enhanced susceptibility to cancer overall, especially glioma, in the Caucasian population.

Project description:BACKGROUND:There have been several case-control studies to assess the relationship between the transforming growth factor-?1 (TGF-?1) T?+?869C (rs1982073)/C-509T (rs1800469) gene polymorphism and lung cancer in recent years; however, the results remain controversial. In this study, we investigated the potential correlation between the TGF-?1 T?+?869C/C-509T polymorphism and increased risk of lung cancer through meta-analysis. METHODS:We searched the Cochrane Library database, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and the Wanfang Data Information Service platform to identify relevant case-control studies in strict accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were used to evaluate the correlation between TGF-?1 gene polymorphism and lung tumor risk. Sensitivity analysis and Egger test were used to evaluate the stability of the results and possible publication bias. RESULTS:A total of 8 studies, with 3680 patients and 4018 controls, were included. The meta-analysis revealed that there was no conspicuous correlation between the TGF-?1 T?+?869C (rs1982073)/C-509T (rs1800469) variant and lung cancer in the overall population. For TGF-?1 C-509T, a significant decreased risk was identified in patients with nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the analysis stratified by disease (TT vs CT?+?CC: P?=?.02, OR?=?0.49, 95% CI 0.27-0.90). However, for TGF-?1 T?+?869C, subgroup analysis showed no correlation between the T?+?869C polymorphism and lung cancer susceptibility in patients with NSCLC. In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, no distinct association was observed between T?+?869C (rs1982073)/C-509T (rs1800469) polymorphism and lung cancer susceptibility in the Asian and Caucasian groups. Moreover, no significant association was found in the analysis of groups stratified by age, sex, and smoking history. CONCLUSION:The TGF-?1 T?+?869C (rs1982073) and C-509T (rs1800469) polymorphisms are not implicated in lung cancer susceptibility in the overall population. However, our analysis indicated that the C-509T (rs1800469) polymorphism decreases the risk of lung cancer in patients with NSCLC.
