Background: The relationship between hematological cancer susceptibility and methionine synthase MTR A2756G (rs1805087) polymorphism is inconclusive based on data from past studies. Hence, this updated meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between methionine synthase reductase (MTR) rs1805087 polymorphism and hematological cancers. Method: We searched EMBASE, Google Scholar, Ovid and PubMed databases for possible relevant articles up to December 31, 2019. Results: The overall pooled outcome of our analysis showed lack of association between the risk of hematological malignancies and MTR A2756G polymorphism under the allele model (G vs A: odds ratio = 1.001, 95% CI: 0.944–1.061; p = 0.983), recessive model (GG vs GA + AA: odds ratio = 1.050, 95% CI: 0.942–1.170; p = 0.382). Conclusion: The findings in this study demonstrate a lack of relationship between hematological cancers and MTR A2756G.

This meta-analysis was conducted to assess the consistency and strength of the relationship between polymorphism of IL-2 -330T/G and susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). PubMed, Web of Knowledge and CNKI were searched to find eligible studies about the relationship between IL-2 -330T/G polymorphism and susceptibility to pulmonary TB. A total of eight studies comprising 971 cases and 1519 controls were grouped together for the purpose of elucidating the relationship between polymorphism of IL-2 -330T/G and pulmonary TB susceptibility. The allele model (G vs. T: odds ratio (OR) = 1.34; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.05–1.71, Phet = 0.001) and the recessive model (GG+GT vs. TT: OR = 1.60; 95% CI 1.08–2.38, Phet = 0.0001) showed an increased risk of development of pulmonary TB. However, the homozygous model (GG vs. TT: OR = 1.74; 95% CI 0.98–3.09, Phet = 0.0005) and the dominant model (GG vs. TT + TG: OR = 1.30; 95% CI = 0.80-2.14, Phet =  0.001) failed to show an increased incidence of pulmonary TB. When analysis was stratified by ethnicity, no obvious associations were identified in the Caucasian subgroup under all four genetic models. Additionally, heterogeneity disappeared in the analysis of Caucasian subgroup. Our combined data suggested that there was no association between IL-2 -330T/G polymorphism and pulmonary TB among Caucasians.

Abstract Background : Several studies investigated the relationship between antisense non-coding RNA in the INK4 locus (ANRIL) variants and the risk of ischemic stroke (IS), yet whether ANRIL variants are associated with IS remain controversial. Therefore, we performed the present study to obtain a more conclusive result. Methods: Literature retrieval was conducted in PubMed, Medline and Embase. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Results: Eighteen studies were enrolled for analyses. Pooled overall analyses showed that rs2383206 (recessive model: P=0.002, OR = 1.22, 95%CI 1.08–1.38; allele model: P=0.003, OR = 0.90, 95%CI 0.84–0.96) and rs10757274 (allele model: P=0.006, OR = 0.91, 95%CI 0.86–0.97) variants were significantly associated with an increased risk of IS. Further subgroup analyses by ethnicity revealed that rs2383206, rs10757274 and rs10757278 variants were all significantly correlated with an increased risk of IS in Asians. Additionally, rs10757278 polymorphism was also significantly correlated with an increased risk of IS in Caucasians. Conclusions: Our findings indicated that rs2383206, rs10757274 and rs10757278 variants may impact individual susceptibility to IS in Asians. Moreover, rs10757278 polymorphism may also impact individual susceptibility to IS in Caucasians.

The relationship between rs3746444 T>C single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in microRNA (mir)-499 and risk of gastric cancer (GC) has been widely investigated. However, the association was still unconfirmed. Here, we first recruited 490 GC patients and 1,476 controls, and conducted a case-control study. And we did not find any association between rs3746444 T>C SNP polymorphism and risk of GC. Subsequently, we conducted a meta-analysis to explore the association of mir-499 rs3746444 polymorphism with GC development. Two authors searched the PubMed and EMBASE databases up to October 15, 2019 independently. Finally, nine literatures involving 12 independent studies were included. In total, 3,954 GC cases and 9,745 controls were recruited for meta-analysis. The results suggested that allele model, homozygote model and recessive model could increase the risk of overall GC (P = 0.002, 0.009 and 0.013, respectively). When we excluded the studies violated HWE, this association was also found in allele model (P = 0.020) and dominant model (P = 0.044). In subgroup analyses, we identified that rs3746444 SNP in mir-499 increased the risk of GC in Asians and gastric cardiac adenocarcinoma (GCA) subgroups. No significant bias of selection was found (all P>0.1). Test of sensitivity analysis indicated that our findings were stable. Additionally, we found that the power value was 0.891 in the allele model, suggesting the reliability of our findings. In summary, our analysis confirmed the association between rs3746444 and the risk of GC, especially in Asians and in patients with GCA.

Abstract Background: We assessed the relationship between AGT gene M235T polymorphism and the susceptibility to cancer by performing an updated meta-analysis.Methods: This study retrospectively searched related articles in the electronic databases. Afterwards, we determined combined odds ratios (ORs) and related 95% confidence intervals (CIs) by the fixed- or random-effects model.Results: The present meta-analysis enrolled altogether 9 articles. On the whole, the relationship between AGT M235T polymorphism and the cancer risk was not significant among the entire population(TT vs MM:OR=1.28,95%CI=0.80-2.04;TM vs MM: OR=0.90, 95%CI = 0.53-1.52;Recessive model: OR= 1.13, 95%CI = 0.83-1.52; Dominant model: OR=0.93, 95%CI =0.55-1.57). But the relationship of AGT M235T polymorphism with the digestive cancer risk was significant upon subgroup analysis stratified according to cancer type (TT vs MM:OR=1.68,95%CI=1.11-2.54;TM vs MM: OR=1.34, 95%CI = 0.97-1.85;Recessive model: OR= 1.27, 95%CI = 0.95-1.70; Dominant model: OR=1.45, 95%CI =1.07-1.96).Conclusion: According to findings in the present meta-analysis, AGT M235T polymorphism may be possibly related to digestive cancer susceptibility.

Abstract TLR3 and IL-10 play a crucial role in antiviral defence. However, there is a controversy between TLR3 rs3775291 and IL-10 rs1800871 polymorphisms and the risk of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between the two single nucleotide mutations and the risk of HBV infection by meta-analysis. Medline, EMBASE, Web of Science, CNKI, China Wanfang database were searched for the case-control studies on the relationship between TLR3 rs3775291 and IL-10 rs1800871 polymorphism and susceptibility to HBV, updated to June 2020. The data were analysed by Stata 15.0 software. A total of 22 articles were included. The results showed that in the analysis of IL10 rs1800871 polymorphism and the risk of HBV infection, the pooled OR was 1.21 (95% CI 1.06–1.37), 1.28 (95% CI 1.04–1.56) and 1.20 (95% CI 1.06–1.37) and 1.40 (95% CI 1.07–1.83) in the allele model (C vs. T), dominant model (CC+CT vs. TT), recessive model (CC vs. CT+TT) and homozygous model (CC vs. TT), respectively. There was no statistical significance in the heterozygote model. A subgroup analysis of the Asian population showed similar results. The analysis of TLR3 rs3775291 polymorphism and the risk of HBV showed that in the allele model (T vs. C), the pooled OR was 1.30 (95% CI 1.05–1.61). Except for the recessive model, no significances were found in other genetic models. In conclusion, TLR3 rs3775291 and IL-10 rs1800871 polymorphisms are associated with the risk of HBV. Allele C and genotype CC at IL10 rs1800871 loci, as well as allele T and genotype TT at TLR rs3775291 loci, may increase susceptibility to Hepatitis B infection.

Purpose: The correlation between patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3 ( PNPLA3) rs738409 polymorphism and hepatocellular carcinoma was investigated by several pilot studies, but the results of these studies were controversial. Therefore, we performed this study to better assess the relationship between PNPLA3 rs738409 polymorphism and the likelihood of hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: Eligible studies were searched in PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, and Web of Science. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the relationship between PNPLA3 rs738409 polymorphism and hepatocellular carcinoma. Results: A total of 17 studies with 10,330 participants were analyzed. A significant association with the likelihood of hepatocellular carcinoma was detected for the PNPLA3 rs738409 polymorphism in dominant ( P = 0.0001; OR 0.66; 95% CI 0.53, 0.82), recessive ( P < 0.0001; OR 2.32; 95% CI 1.76, 3.06) and allele ( P < 0.0001; OR 0.64; 95% CI 0.53, 0.77) comparisons. Further subgroup analyses revealed that the PNPLA3 rs738409 polymorphism was significantly associated with the likelihood of hepatocellular carcinoma in Caucasians (dominant model: P < 0.0001, OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.45, 0.71; recessive model: P < 0.0001, OR 2.74, 95% CI 2.02, 3.71; allele model: P < 0.0001, OR 0.56, 95% CI 0.46, 0.67). However, no positive results were detected in Asians. Conclusions: Our findings indicated that the PNPLA3 rs738409 polymorphism may serve as a potential biological marker of hepatocellular carcinoma in Caucasians.

AbstractThe ESR1 rs9340799 polymorphism has been frequently investigated with regard to its association with breast cancer (BC) susceptibility, but the findings have been inconclusive. In this work, we aimed to address the inconsistencies in study findings by performing a systematic review and meta-analysis. Eligible studies were identified from the Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP and Wanfang databases based on the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The pooled odds ratio (OR) was then calculated under five genetic models: homozygous (GG vs. AA), heterozygous (AG vs. AA), dominant (AG + GG vs. AA), recessive (GG vs. AA + AG) and allele (G vs. A). Combined results from 23 studies involving 34,721 subjects indicated a lack of significant association between the polymorphism and BC susceptibility (homozygous model, OR = 1.045, 95% CI 0.887–1.231, P = 0.601; heterozygous model, OR = 0.941, 95% CI 0.861–1.030, P = 0.186; dominant model, OR = 0.957, 95% CI 0.875–1.045, P = 0.327; recessive model, OR = 1.053, 95% CI 0.908–1.222, P = 0.495; allele model, OR = 0.987, 95% CI 0.919–1.059, P = 0.709). Subgroup analyses by ethnicity, menopausal status and study quality also revealed no statistically significant association (P > 0.05). In conclusion, our results showed that the ESR1 rs9340799 polymorphism was not associated with BC susceptibility, suggesting its limited potential as a genetic marker for BC.

No consistent results have been reached on the relationship of interleukin-1 (IL-1) rs1800587 polymorphism with the susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) so far. Therefore, the current meta-analysis was designed to thoroughly review relevant studies, in order to examine the relationship of IL-1A rs1800587 polymorphism with RA risk. Electronic databases were retrieved for literature regarding the relationship between IL-1A rs1800587 polymorphism and RA vulnerability according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Stata 12.0 software was adopted to examine the enrolled literature. Meanwhile, odds ratio (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were used to evaluate the association. A total of seven case-control researches (3267 patients and 2960 healthy controls) were eventually enrolled into the current meta-analysis. Our data indicated no correlation of IL-1A rs1800587 polymorphism with RA risk (TT vs CC: OR = 0.90, 95% CI = 0.73–1.11; TC vs CC: OR = 1.02, 95% CI = 0.78–1.34; Dominant model: OR = 1.04, 95% CI = 0.80–1.35; Recessive model: OR = 1.91, 95% CI = 0.74–1.12). Similarly, no association was found in subgroup analysis stratified by ethnicity. Our findings indicated no relationship between IL-1A rs1800587 polymorphism and RA vulnerability.

Background: The correlation between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphisms and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains controversial. Objectives: We performed this study to better assess the relationship between MTHFR gene polymorphisms and the likelihood of HCC. Methods: A systematic research of PubMed, Medline, and Embase was performed to retrieve relevant articles. ORs and 95% CIs were calculated. Results: A total of 15 studies with 8,378 participants were analyzed. In overall analyses, a significant association with the likelihood of HCC was detected for the rs1801131 polymorphism with fixed-effect models (FEMs) in recessive comparison (p = 0.002, OR 0.62, 95% CI 0.43–0.82). However, no positive results were detected for the rs1801133 polymorphism in any comparison. Further subgroup analyses revealed that the rs1801131 polymorphism was significantly associated with the likelihood of HCC in Asians with both FEMs (recessive model: p < 0.0001, OR 0.42, 95% CI 0.29–0.62; allele model: p = 0.004, OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.06–1.35) and random-effect models (recessive model: p = 0.002, OR 0.47, 95% CI 0.29–0.75). Nevertheless, we failed to detect any significant correlation between the rs1801133 polymorphism and HCC. Conclusions: Our findings indicated that the rs1801131 polymorphism may serve as a genetic biomarker of HCC in Asians.
