ObjectiveVitamin D receptor (VDR) FokI polymorphism has been reported to influence ovarian cancer (OC) susceptibility, but the association between VDR BsmI polymorphism and OC risk remains controversial. To clarify the relationship between them, we performed a meta-analysis.MethodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted to examine all the eligible studies of VDR BsmI polymorphism and OC risk. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were used to assess the strength of this association.ResultsSeven separate comparisons consisting of 1977 OC cases and 2832 healthy controls were included in our meta-analysis. The pooled analyses showed no significant association between VDR BsmI G/A polymorphism and OC in all of the comparisons (AA vs GG: OR, 1.01; P = 0.919; AG vs GG: OR, 1.12; P = 0.087; AG + AA vs GG: OR, 1.10; P = 0.146; AA vs AG + GG: OR, 0.96; P = 0.629). However, subgroup analysis showed a significant contribution of the dominant inheritance model to OC development in the European group: AG + AA vs GG (OR, 1.43; P = 0.029); AG vs GG (OR, 1.46; P = 0.031).ConclusionsVitamin D receptor BsmI G/A gene variant might be a moderate risk factor of OC development in the European population instead of North America or Asian population.

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.

Abstract Objective To explore the relationship between ERCC1 rs11615 polymorphism and chemosensitivity to platinum drugs in ovarian cancer by the method of meta-analysis. Methods Pubmed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and China Wanfang databases were comprehensively searched up to September 2020, to identify the relationship between ERCC1 rs11615 polymorphism and chemosensitivity of ovarian cancer. The data was analyzed by Stata 15.0 statistic software. Results A total of 10 published papers were included, including 1866 patients with ovarian cancer. The results showed that compared allele C at ERCC1 rs11615 locus with allele T, the pooled OR was 0.92 (95%CI:0.68 ~ 1.24, P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in recessive, dominant, homozygous, and heterozygous models. In accordance with a subgroup analysis of Ethnicity, all genotypes were statistically significant in the Asian population. In the allelic, dominant, recessive, homozygous and heterozygous models, the OR was 0.70 (95%CI:0.51 ~ 0.95), 0.20 (95%CI:0.07 ~ 0.56), 0.79 (95%CI:0.63 ~ 1.00), 0.21 (95%CI:0.07 ~ 0.59), 0.19 (95%CI:0.07 ~ 0.54), respectively, while in the Caucasian population, no statistically significant genotype was found. Conclusion The ERCC1 rs11615 polymorphism is associated with chemosensitivity in patients with ovarian cancer, especially in the Asian population, but not in the Caucasian population.
