No association between TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphism and ovarian cancer risk: evidence from 10113 subjects.

ABSTRACT: The TP53 gene product is an important regulator of cell growth and a tumor suppressor. The association between TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphism and ovarian cancer risk has been widely investigated, but the results are contradictory. We therefore searched the PubMed, EMBASE and Chinese Biomedical databases for studies on the relation between TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphism and ovarian cancer risk. Our final meta-analysis included 24 published studies with 3271 cases and 6842 controls. Pooled results indicated that there was no significant association between TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphism and ovarian cancer risk [Pro/Pro vs. Arg/Arg: odds ratio (OR) =1.04, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.81-1.34; Arg/Pro vs. Arg/Arg: OR = 1.14, 95% CI = 0.96-1.36; recessive: OR = 1.05, 95% CI = 0.90-1.22; dominant: OR = 1.12, 95% CI = 0.94-1.33; and Pro vs. Arg: OR = 1.06, 95% CI=0.93-1.20]. Likewise, stratified analyses failed to reveal a genetic association. Despite some limitations, the present meta-analysis provides statistical evidence indicating a lack of association between TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphism and ovarian cancer risk.

Project description:Background and objectiveThe gene betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase (BHMT) has drawn much attention during the past decades. An increasing number of clinical and genetic investigations have supposed that BHMT rs3733890 polymorphism might be associated with risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer. As no consistent conclusion has been achieved, we conducted an up-to-date summary of BHMT rs3733890 polymorphism and cancer risk through a meta-analysis.Materials and methodsThe articles were collected from PubMed, Google Scholar, and CNKI (Chinese) databases up to December 2015. Then, the correlations were determined by reading the titles and abstracts and by further reading the full text to filter the unqualified articles. Odds ratio (OR) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to assess the results.ResultsAmong 187 articles collected in the analysis, seven studies with a total of 2,832 cases and 3,958 controls were included for evaluation of the association between BHMT rs3733890 polymorphism and susceptibility of cancer risk. The heterogeneity test showed no significant differences. Furthermore, we found that BHMT -742G>A polymorphism in case and control groups showed no statistically significant association with susceptibility in various cancer types except for uterine cervical cancer (A vs G: OR =0.641, 95% CI =0.445-0.923, P=0.017; AA+AG vs GG: OR =0.579, 95% CI =0.362-0.924, P=0.022). In addition, no statistically significant association was uncovered when stratification analyses were conducted by ethnicity and genotyping methods.ConclusionOur results have shown no obvious evidence that rs3733890 polymorphism in BHMT gene affected the susceptibility of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, colorectal adenoma, and liver cancer. In contrast, we found the protective role of BHMT -742G>A polymorphism in uterine cervical cancer incidence. Future well-designed studies comprising larger sample size are warranted to verify our findings.

Project description:ImportanceBreastfeeding has been associated with a reduced risk of epithelial ovarian cancer in multiple studies, but others showed no association. Whether risk reduction extends beyond that provided by pregnancy alone or differs by histotype is unclear. Furthermore, the observed associations between duration and timing of breastfeeding with ovarian cancer risk have been inconsistent.ObjectiveTo determine the association between breastfeeding (ie, ever/never, duration, timing) and ovarian cancer risk overall and by histotype.Design, setting, and participantsA pooled analysis of parous women with ovarian cancer and controls from 13 case-control studies participating in the Ovarian Cancer Association Consortium was performed. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs of the overall association were calculated using multivariable logistic regression and polytomous logistic regression for histotype-specific associations. All data were collected from individual sites from November 1989 to December 2009, and analysis took place from September 2017 to July 2019.ExposuresData on breastfeeding history, including duration per child breastfed, age at first and last breastfeeding, and years since last breastfeeding were collected by questionnaire or interview and was harmonized across studies.Main outcomes and measuresDiagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer.ResultsA total of 9973 women with ovarian cancer (mean [SD] age, 57.4 [11.1] years) and 13 843 controls (mean [SD] age, 56.4 [11.7] years) were included. Breastfeeding was associated with a 24% lower risk of invasive ovarian cancer (odds ratio [OR], 0.76; 95% CI, 0.71-0.80). Independent of parity, ever having breastfed was associated with reduction in risk of all invasive ovarian cancers, particularly high-grade serous and endometrioid cancers. For a single breastfeeding episode, mean breastfeeding duration of 1 to 3 months was associated with 18% lower risk (OR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.76-0.88), and breastfeeding for 12 or more months was associated with a 34% lower risk (OR, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.58-0.75). More recent breastfeeding was associated with a reduction in risk (OR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.47-0.66 for <10 years) that persisted for decades (OR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.77-0.90 for ≥30 years; P for trend = .02).Conclusions and relevanceBreastfeeding is associated with a significant decrease in risk of ovarian cancer overall and for the high-grade serous subtype, the most lethal type of ovarian cancer. The findings suggest that breastfeeding is a potentially modifiable factor that may lower risk of ovarian cancer independent of pregnancy alone.
