The association between XRCC3 rs1799794 polymorphism and cancer risk: a meta-analysis of 34 case-control studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Studies on the XRCC3 rs1799794 polymorphism show that this polymorphism is involved in a variety of cancers, but its specific relationships or effects are not consistent. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to investigate the association between rs1799794 polymorphism and susceptibility to cancer.

Methods

PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched for eligible studies through June 11, 2019. All analyses were performed with Stata 14.0. Subgroup analyses were performed by cancer type, ethnicity, source of control, and detection method. A total of 37 studies with 23,537 cases and 30,649 controls were included in this meta-analysis.

Results

XRCC3 rs1799794 increased cancer risk in the dominant model and heterozygous model (GG + AG vs. AA: odds ratio [OR] = 1.04, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.00-1.08, P = 0.051; AG vs. AA: OR = 1.05, 95% CI = 1.00-1.01, P = 0.015). The existence of rs1799794 increased the risk of breast cancer and thyroid cancer, but reduced the risk of ovarian cancer. In addition, rs1799794 increased the risk of cancer in the Caucasian population.

Conclusion

This meta-analysis confirms that XRCC3 rs1799794 is related to cancer risk, especially increased risk for breast cancer and thyroid cancer and reduced risk for ovarian cancer. However, well-designed large-scale studies are required to further evaluate the results.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The X-ray repair cross-complementing group 3 (XRCC3) is an efficient component of homologous recombination and is required for the preservation of chromosomal integrity in mammalian cells. The association between Thr241Met single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in this gene and susceptibility to breast cancer has been assessed in several studies. Yet, reports are controversial. The present meta-analysis has been designed to identify whether this SNP is associated with susceptibility to breast cancer. METHODS:We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis for retrieving the case-control studies on the associations between T241?M SNP and the risk of breast cancer. Crude odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to verify the association in dominant, recessive, and homozygote inheritance models. RESULTS:We included 55 studies containing 30,966 sporadic breast cancer cases, 1174 familial breast cancer cases and 32,890 controls in the meta-analysis. In crude analyses, no association was detected between the mentioned SNP and breast cancer risk in recessive, homozygote or dominant models. However, ethnic based analysis showed that in sporadic breast cancer, the SNP was associated with breast cancer risk in Arab populations in homozygous (OR (95% CI)?=?3.649 (2.029-6.563), p?=?0.0001) and recessive models (OR (95% CI)?=?4.092 (1.806-9.271), p?=?0.001). The association was significant in Asian population in dominant model (OR (95% CI)?=?1.296, p?=?0.029). However, the associations was significant in familial breast cancer in mixed ethnic-based subgroup in homozygote and recessive models (OR (95% CI)?=?0.451 (0.309-0.659), p?=?0.0001, OR (95% CI)?=?0.462 (0.298-0.716), p?=?0.001 respectively). CONCLUSIONS:Taken together, our results in a large sample of both sporadic and familial cases of breast cancer showed insignificant role of Thr241Met in the pathogenesis of this type of malignancy. Such results were more conclusive in sporadic cases. In familial cases, future studies are needed to verify our results.

Project description:Statin-related myopathy is an important adverse effect of statin which is classically unpredictable. The evidence of association between solute carrier organic anion transporter 1B1 (SLCO1B1) gene T521C polymorphism and statin-related myopathy risk remained controversial. This study aimed to investigate this genetic association. Databases of PubMed, EMBASE, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Scientific Journals Database, and Wanfang Data were searched till June 17, 2015. Case-control studies investigating the association between SLCO1B1 gene T521C polymorphism and statin-related myopathy risk were included. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used for assessing the quality of included studies. Data were pooled by odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Nine studies with 1360 cases and 3082 controls were included. Cases of statin-related myopathy were found to be significantly associated with the variant C allele (TC + CC vs TT: OR = 2.09, 95% CI = 1.27-3.43, P = 0.003; C vs T: OR = 2.10, 95% CI = 1.43-3.09, P < 0.001), especially when statin-related myopathy was defined as an elevation of creatine kinase (CK) >10 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or rhabdomyolysis (TC + CC vs TT: OR = 3.83, 95% CI = 1.41-10.39, P = 0.008; C vs T: OR = 2.94, 95% CI = 1.47-5.89, P = 0.002). When stratified by statin type, the association was significant in individuals receiving simvastatin (TC + CC vs TT: OR = 3.09, 95% CI = 1.64-5.85, P = 0.001; C vs T: OR = 3.00, 95% CI = 1.38-6.49, P = 0.005), but not in those receiving atorvastatin (TC + CC vs TT: OR = 1.31, 95% CI = 0.74-2.30, P = 0.35; C vs T: OR = 1.33, 95% CI = 0.57-3.12, P = 0.52). The available evidence suggests that SLCO1B1 gene T521C polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of statin-related myopathy, especially in individuals receiving simvastatin. Thus, a genetic test before initiation of statins may be meaningful for personalizing the treatment.
