Correlation between rs13347 polymorphism of CD44 gene and the risk of occurring breast cancer: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

With the attention paid to the heritability of breast cancer, the search for the genetic susceptibility gene of breast cancer has become a hot spot. At present, a number of studies have explored the relationship between rs13347 polymorphism of cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44) gene and breast cancer, but the research conclusions are inconsistent. Therefore, we will use this meta-analysis to explore the role of this gene polymorphism in breast cancer susceptibility.

Methods

The search time is set from the establishment of the database in March 2021 in this study. The search database include China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, VIP Information Chinese Journal Service Platform, and China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library. The subjects are observational studies on the relationship between rs13347 polymorphism of CD44 gene and breast cancer (including case-control study, cross-sectional study and a cohort study). The language is limited to English and Chinese. The data of the included study are extracted and the literature quality is evaluated by two researchers independently. The data are statistically analyzed by Stata 16.0 software.

Results

Based on the existing studies, this study will systematically evaluate the relationship between CD44 gene rs13347 polymorphism and breast cancer.

Conclusion

This study will provide evidence-based medical evidence to clarify the role of CD44 gene polymorphism in breast cancer, and provide help for the early detection and preventive intervention of breast cancer.

Ethics and dissemination

Private information from individuals will not be published. This systematic review also does not involve endangering participant rights. Ethical approval will not be required. The results may be published in a peer-reviewed journal or disseminated at relevant conferences.

Project description:IntroductionThe recommendations of most health organisations encourage mothers to keep exclusive breast feeding during the first 6 months and combining breast feeding with complementary feeding at least during the first and second years, due to the numerous immunologic, cognitive developmental and motor skill benefits that breast feeding confers. Although the influence of breast feeding on motor development during childhood has been studied, the findings are inconsistent, and some studies have even reported no effect. This manuscript presents a protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis, with the aim of reviewing the relationship between breast feeding and motor skill development in children in terms of duration, exclusivity or non-exclusivity of breast feeding.Methods and analysisThe search will be conducted using Medline (via PubMed), EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane Library from inception to December 2019. Observational studies (cross-sectional and follow-up studies) written in English or Spanish that investigate the association between breast feeding and motor development in children will be included. This systematic review and meta-analysis protocol follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols. The Critical Appraisal Checklist for Analytical Cross-Sectional Studies and The Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale for longitudinal studies will be used to assess the quality of included studies. The effect of breast feeding on motor skill development will be calculated as the primary outcome. Subgroup analyses will be carried out based on the characteristics of motor skill development and the population included.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval is not required because the data used will be obtained from published studies, and there will be no concerns about privacy. The findings from this study will be relevant information regarding the association of breast feeding with motor development in children and could be used encourage to improve breastfeeding rates. The results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.Prospero registration numberCRD42018093706.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:The 'Hikikomori' syndrome (HS) consists of prolonged and severe social withdrawal. It has been studied first in Japan and recently has increasingly drawn the attention of researchers and clinicians all over the world. It is unclear whether it exists in other cultural contexts than Asia. The existing systematic reviews did not provide a quantitative synthesis on its prevalence. In addition, a summary of the co-occurring rates of psychiatric disorders is lacking. To provide a more comprehensive understanding of the clinical picture, it seems important to investigate which psychiatric disorders listed in the classification systems are most frequently associated with this psychological condition affecting young people. This paper describes a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol summarising worldwide prevalence of the HS in general population and clinical samples with psychiatric disorders. The review will also assess the co-occurrence between HS and each psychiatric disorder defined by any version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) or International Classification of Diseases (ICD) in any clinical samples with psychiatric disorders. METHODS AND ANALYSIS:A systematic review will be conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Studies will be included if they use youth aged 12-35 years, recruited from general population or population with psychiatric disorders, if they use international criteria to diagnose HS. No restriction about design or language will be applied. The search will be conducted during the first week of November 2019 by two independent reviewers through the databases Scopus, PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, by examining study references, by looking for conference proceedings/dissertations/theses, by contacting study corresponding authors. Random-effect meta-analysis will be performed by computing effect sizes as logit event rates. Study quality will be assessed through the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION:The current review does not require ethics approval. The results will be disseminated through conference presentations and publications in peer-reviewed journals.
