BackgroundStudies investigating the association between p21 genetic polymorphism Ser31Arg and cervical cancer (CC) risk report conflicting results. The aim of this study was to quantitatively summarize the evidence for p21 polymorphism and CC risk.MethodsTwo investigators independently searched the MEDLINE, Embase, CNKI, and Chinese Biomedicine databases. Summary odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for p21 polymorphism and CC were calculated in a fixed effects model (the Mantel-Haenszel method) and a random effects model (the DerSimonian and Laird method) when appropriate. The pooled ORs were performed for codominant model (Arg/Arg vs Ser/Ser and Arg/Ser vs Ser/Ser), dominant model (Arg/Arg + Arg/Ser vs Ser/Ser), and recessive model (Arg/Arg vs Arg/Ser + Ser/Ser). Subgroup analyses were performed by country, matched controls, and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in the controls and study sample size.ResultsThis meta-analysis included 10 case-control studies from an Asian population, which included 1415 CC cases and 1947 controls. Overall, the variant genotypes (Arg/Arg and Arg/Ser) of Ser31Arg were not associated with CC risk, when compared with the wild-type homozygote Ser/Ser (Arg/Arg vs Ser/Ser: OR, 1.30; 95% CI, 0.81-2.08; Arg/Ser vs Ser/Ser: OR, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.72-1.55). Similarly, no associations were found in the dominant and recessive models (dominant model: OR, 1.05; 95% CI, 0.73-1.51; recessive model: OR, 1.28; 95% CI, 0.86-1.90). Stratified analyses also detected no significant association in any subgroup, except among those studies from "other" country and those studies with controls deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.ConclusionNo association was found between the p21 polymorphism Arg31Ser and risk of CC among Asians. In the future, additional studies based on white and African American patients should be performed to re-evaluate the association.

Purpose: The association between GRIA1 rs548294 G>A and rs2195450 C>T polymorphisms and migraine risk has been reported in several case–control studies. However, the results of studies are inconsistent. Thus, we conducted a meta-analysis to more precisely estimate the association of the two polymorphisms with migraine risk. Methods: Eligible studies were retrieved and screened from the online databases (EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science, Wanfang, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure). The pooled odds ratio (OR) with corresponding 95.0% confidence intervals (CIs) was assessed using random- or fixed-effects model. Results: A total of 1233 cases and 1374 controls from four eligible studies were included. The pooled analysis showed that GRIA1 rs548294 G>A polymorphism was not significantly associated with migraine risk. GRIA1 rs2195450 C>T polymorphism was significantly associated with migraine risk under heterozygous model (CT vs. CC, OR = 1.23, 95%CI = 1.02–1.48, PZ = 0.03). Further subgroup analysis based on ethnicity showed a significant association of GRIA1 rs2195450 C>T polymorphism with migraine risk in Asian population, but not in Caucasian population. Conclusions: Our results indicates that GRIA1 rs2195450 C>T polymorphism is significantly associated with migraine risk. However, the number of studies included in the meta-analysis was small. Thus, more high quality case–control studies with a large sample size are still required to confirm these findings.

Objective To perform a meta-analysis to evaluate studies investigating the association between ATG16L1 gene polymorphism and Crohn’s disease. Methods PubMed, Embase and Web of Science databases were searched for all studies focusing on the association of ATG16L1 and Crohn’s disease. Combined odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated for four genetic models (allelic model: G allele versus A allele; additive model: GG versus AA; dominant model: GA + GG versus AA; recessive model: GG versus GA + AA) using either a random effects or fixed effects model. Results A total of 47 case–control studies involving 18 638 cases and 30 181 controls were included in the final meta-analysis. There was a significant association between ATG16L1 and Crohn’s disease for all four genetic models. Significant associations were also shown in subgroup analyses when stratified by study design (population- or hospital-based). Conclusion In this meta-analysis, the ATG16L1 genotype was significantly associated with the risk of developing Crohn’s disease.

Background: Although numerous epidemiological studies have investigated the association between −174G/C(rs1800795) polymorphism in the interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene-stimulatory region and the risk of ischemic stroke (IS), they failed to reach a unified conclusion. The true relationship between −174G/C(rs1800795) polymorphism and IS remains controversial and unclear. Therefore, in this meta-analysis, we aimed to analyze more precisely the association between −174G/C(rs1800795) single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of IL-6 gene and IS in a larger pooled population.Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed in PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials until June 30, 2021. A fixed or random-effects model was utilized based on heterogeneity between studies. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (Cis) were calculated in the models of allele comparison (G vs. C), homozygote comparison (GG vs. CC) and (GC vs. CC), dominant (GG vs. GC + CC), hyper dominant (GG + CC vs. GC), and recessive (GG + GC vs. CC) to determine the strength of associations.Results: This meta-analysis included 13 case-control studies in 35 articles with 5,548 individuals. Overall, no significant associations between IL-6 −174G/C(rs1800795) and IS were identified (G vs. C:OR [95% CI] = 0.99 [0.81, 1.21], P = 0.91; GG + CC vs. GC:0.97 [0.85, 1.11], P = 0.66; GG vs. GC + CC: 1.01 [0.81, 1.25], P = 0.94; GC vs. CC: OR [95% CI] = 1.01 [0.68, 1.5], P = 0.96; GG vs. CC:0.93 [0.57, 1.51], P = 0.76; GG + GC vs. CC:0.97 [0.64, 1.47], P = 0.89). In the subgroup analyses by ethnicity or HWE P-value, there was a statistically significant association between IL-6 −174G/C(rs1800795) polymorphisms and IS in the alleles model; (G vs. C: LogOR [95% CI] = 0.14 [−0.16,.45], P = 0.00), homozygote model (GG vs. CC: LogOR [95% CI] = 0.18 [−0.58,.95], P = 0.00) and (GC vs. CC: LogOR [95% CI] = 0.2 [−0.46,.85], P = 0.00), dominant model (GG vs. GC + CC: OR [95% CI] = 0.02 [−0.72, 0.77], P = 0.00), and recessive model (GG + GC vs. CC: OR [95% CI]= −0.17 [−0.86,.52], P = 0.00) of the European population and in the dominant model (GG vs. GC + CC: OR [95% CI] = −0.13 [−0.51, 0.24]) of the Asian population. No statistical significance was identified in both six models of HWE p ≥ 0.2 group (both P ≥ 0.05).Conclusion: This meta-analysis revealed no correlation between IL-6 −174G/C(rs1800795) polymorphism and IS, whereas the subgroup analysis indicated that the relationship between IL-6 −174G/C(rs1800795) polymorphism and IS susceptibility varied significantly according to ethnicity and geography.

AbstractObesity is associated with polymorphisms of the fat mass and obesity associated gene (FTO). This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the association of the rs9930506 FTO gene polymorphism and obesity. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first meta-analysis to evaluate the relation between FTO rs9930506 polymorphism and obesity.We searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase to identify studies investigating the relations between the rs9930506 FTO gene polymorphism and obesity risk. We pooled adjusted odds ratios (OR) as overall and in continent subgroups. A Fixed-effects model was used to analyze the results of these studies in dominant and recessive models.By examining 3337 obesity cases and 3159 healthy controls, we identified 8 eligible case-control studies. Considering the dominant model of inheritance, there was a relationship between the rs9939506 polymorphism and obesity (OR=1.34 [1.03- 1.74]). The association remained significant in the European subgroup (OR=1.68 [1.2-2.36]), but not in the Asian subgroup. Using the recessive model, we also found a significant relationship when the overall association was investigated (OR=2.47; 95% CI 1.56-3.91). In conclusion, this study identified that the carriers of the risk allele of FTO rs9930506 polymorphism are at higher risk for obesity.

BackgroundA debate exists about whether interleukin 10 (IL-10) polymorphisms (IL-10−1082G/A and IL-10−592C/A) confer additional risk for cervical cancer. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship between IL-10 polymorphisms and cervical cancer risk, we conducted a meta-analysis of all available studies relating the −1082G/A and −592C/A polymorphisms of the IL-10 gene to the risk of developing cervical cancer.MethodsEight studies were eligible for IL-10 −1082G/A (1498 cases and 1608 controls), and 5 studies were eligible for IL-10 −592C/A (2396 cases and 1388 controls). Pooled odds ratios (ORs) were appropriately derived from fixed-effects or random-effects models. Subgroup analyses were performed by ethnicity and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in the controls.ResultsIn the overall analysis, no significant association between the IL-10−1082G/A polymorphism and the risk of cervical cancer was observed. In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, IL-10 −1082A allele was associated with decreased cervical cancer susceptibility among whites (A vs G: OR, 0.39; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.32–0.47). Studies with controls deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium showed an evident association in dominant model (GA/AA vs GG: OR, 1.73 [95% CI, 1.04–2.89]). On the other hand, with respect to −592C/A polymorphism, significantly elevated cervical cancer risk was found in the overall analysis (A vs C: OR, 1.16 [95% CI, 1.04–1.31]; AA vs CC: OR, 1.36 [95% CI, 1.00–1.84]; CA/AA vs CC: OR, 1.18 [95% CI, 1.01–1.39]; AA vs CC/CA: OR, 1.25 [95% CI, 1.01–1.55]). Stratified analysis indicated that significantly increased risks were also found among Asians in the allelic model (A vs C: OR, 1.23 [95% CI, 1.01–1.49]).ConclusionsInterleukin 10−1082 G/A polymorphism showed no effect on cervical cancer risk in the overall analysis. The genetic polymorphism in IL-10−592C/A is a risk factor for developing cervical cancer, especially for Asians.

ABSTRACT Introduction: The matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) gene -181A>G polymorphism has been reported to be associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) and gastric cancer (GC) susceptibility, yet the results of these previous results have been inconsistent or controversial. Aim: To elaborate a meta-analysis to assess the association of -181A>G polymorphism of MMP-7 with CRC and GC risk. Methods: Published literature evaluating the association from PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar and other databases were retrieved up to April 25, 2018. Pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using random- or fixed-effects model. Results: A total of 19 case-control studies, which included eleven studies on CRC (2,169 CRC cases and 2,346 controls) and eight studies on GC (1,545 GC cases and 2,366 controls) were identified. There was a significant association between MMP-7 -181A>G polymorphism and GC risk under the homozygote model (GG vs. AA: OR=1.672, 95% CI 1.161-2.409, p=0.006) and the recessive model (GG vs. GA+AA: OR=1.672, 95% CI 1.319-2.554, p=0.001), but not with CRC. By subgroup analysis based on ethnicity, an increased risk of CRC and GC was found only among Asians. Conclusions: This meta-analysis suggests that MMP-7 -181A>G polymorphisms is associated with GC risk, but not with CRC. However, our results clearly showed that the MMP-7 -181A>G polymorphism significantly increased the risk of CRC only in Asians.

ObjectiveEarly life bronchiolitis has been hypothesised to be associated with the subsequent risk of persistent wheezing or asthma. However, the link remains controversial. The objective of our study was to evaluate the association between bronchiolitis before 2 years of age and the late-onset wheezing/asthma.DesignSystematic review and meta-analysis.MethodsPubMed, Embase and Web of Science databases were systematically searched for studies published between 1955 and January 2020. Meanwhile, we also checked through the reference lists of relevant articles to see whether these references included reports of other studies that might be eligible for the review. Cohort and case–control studies assessing the association between early-life bronchiolitis and late-onset wheezing/asthma were included in this meta-analysis. Data were extracted by two independent reviewers. Results were pooled using a random-effects model or fixed-effects model according to the heterogeneity among studies.Results32 original articles with 292 844 participants, which met the criteria, were included in this meta-analysis. Bronchiolitis before 2 years of age was associated with an increased risk of subsequent wheezing/asthma (relative risk=2.46, 95% CI 2.14 to 2.82, p<0.001). After categorising studies into different groups based on age at the end of follow-up, geographical region and study quality, the association still remained significant.ConclusionsThe meta-analysis indicates an association between bronchiolitis before 2 years of age and the wheezing/asthma in later life. Well-designed and highly standardised prospective studies that better address bias due to potential confounding factors are needed to validate the risk identified in our meta-analysis.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42018089453.

Abstract Background: Tuberculosis is one of the top ten causes of deaths worldwide. The deficiency of vitamin D was reported to be associated with the increased susceptibility of tuberculosis. Various previous reports were published to check the association of FokI polymorphism of the vitamin D receptor gene with tuberculosis risk. But their results were inconsistent so, we performed a meta-analysis to know the exact relation of the two.Methods: Different databases were screened up to November, 2020 with the keywords “Vitamin D receptor”, “VDR”, and “FokI”, along with “Tuberculosis” and “TB” to find the suitable articles. All the statistical analyses were performed by the Open Meta-Analyst program and all p-values were two-tailed with a significance level of 0.05.Results: No statistically significant association was observed in the allele contrast model (ORfvs.F= 1.11, 95%CI= 0.99-1.24, p= 0.05, I2= 73.46%), in the dominant model (ORff+Ffvs.FF= 1.11, 95%CI= 0.96-1.28, p= 0.14, I2= 71.39%), and in the co-dominant model (ORFfvs.FF= 1.05, 95%CI= 0.92-1.21, p= 0.41, I2= 65.97%). However, a significant association was found in the homozygote model (ORffvs.FF= 1.32, 95%CI= 1.03-1.69, p= 0.02, I2= 67.02%) and in the recessive model (ORFF+Ff vs.ff= 1.26, 95%CI= 1.03-1.54, p= 0.02, I2= 58.01%). Further analysis was performed on the bases of the ethnicity. In Asian population a significant association was found in the homozygote model (ORffvs.FF= 1.57, 95%CI= 1.12-2.21, p= 0.008, I2= 70.37%) and in the recessive model (ORFF+Ff vs.ff= 1.43, 95%CI= 1.08-1.89, p= 0.01, I2= 63.13%).Conclusion: In conclusion, a significant association of FokI with tuberculosis susceptibility was found in the overall analysis and in the Asian population.

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional cytokine that has been implicated in the etiology of cancer. Several case–control studies have been conducted to assess the association of IL-6 -174G>C (rs1800795) polymorphism with the risk of cervical cancer, yet with conflicting conclusions. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, we performed this meta-analysis updated to June 2018. A total of seven original publications were identified covering IL-6 -174G>C (rs1800795) polymorphism. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the relationship strengths. Statistically significant relationship was observed between IL-6 -174G>C polymorphism and cervical cancer risk (OR = 0.61, 95% CI: 0.40–0.94 for GG vs. CC, and OR = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.64–0.93 for G vs. C). Moreover, the significant association was found among Asians (OR = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.29–0.75 for GG vs. CC, and OR = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.57–0.89 for G vs. C); hospital-based subgroup (OR = 0.53, 95% CI: 0.38–0.72 for GG vs. CC, and OR = 0.73, 95% CI: 0.61–0.87 for G vs. C); and Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium ≤0.05 (OR = 0.56, 95% CI: 0.37–0.86 for GG vs. GC, and OR = 0.66, 95% CI: 0.47–0.93 for G vs. C). This meta-analysis showed the evidence that the IL-6 -174G>C polymorphism was a low-penetrance susceptibility variant for cervical cancer. Further large-scale case–control studies are needed to confirm these results.

Objective: A role for the angiotensin-converting enzyme ( ACE) gene has been suggested in the aetiology of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). However, results have been inconsistent. In this study, we performed a meta-analysis to further clarify the association between ACE I/D polymorphism and T2DM risk in a Chinese population. Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, CNKI and Wan Fang Data were searched for eligible studies. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using a fixed-effects model or random-effects model. Results:: A total of 41 studies (4708 cases and 5368 controls) for the association between ACE I/D polymorphism and T2DM in a Chinese population were identified. The pooled ORs for the association between ACE I/D polymorphism and T2DM risk were not statistically significant under all genetic models (co-dominant model: DD vs. II: OR = 1.17, 95% CI 0.97–1.42 and ID vs. II: OR = 1.01, 95% CI 0.93–1.10; dominant model: OR = 1.06, 95% CI 0.94–1.19; multiplicative model: OR = 1.08, 95% CI 0.98–1.18). Although a marginally significant association was observed under a recessive model (OR = 1.17, 95% CI 1.00–1.36), robustness of this estimate could not be established under additional sensitivity analyses. Conclusions:: The meta-analysis presented in this study indicated that ACE I/D polymorphism may not be associated with the risk of T2DM in the Chinese population.
