CC16 Gene A38G Polymorphism and Susceptibility to Asthma: An Updated Meta-analysis

Studying the Association between STAT4 Gene Polymorphism and Susceptibility to Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease: An Updated Meta-Analysis

Genetic polymorphism of Clara cell secretory protein 16KDa (CC16) and susceptibility to asthma, a meta-analysis

Clara cell secretory protein 16KDa (CC16) is the major secretory protein of the Clara cells. The gene encoding CC16 has been implicated as potential susceptibility gene for asthma. Published studies between genetic polymorphism of CC16 at position 38 and asthma risk are controversial. Most of these studies are based on small sample size. To clarify the role of the A38G CC16 polymorphism on the ...

Long non-coding RNA HOTAIR polymorphism and susceptibility to cancer: an updated meta-analysis

BACKGROUND An increasing number of publications are drawing attention to the associations between six common polymorphisms in HOX transcript anti-sense RNA (HOTAIR) and the risk of cancers, while these results have been controversial and inconsistent. We conducted an up-to-date meta-analysis to pool eligible studies and to further explore the possible relationships between HOTAIR polymorphisms ...

The 40bp indel polymorphism of MDM2 increase the risk of cancer: An updated meta-analysis

This meta-analysis aimed to provide an up-to-date comprehensive evaluation on the association between the MDM2 40bp indel polymorphism and cancer susceptibility. Eligible studies were retrieved by searching Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Google scholar databases up to August 27, 2018. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to estimate the ...

The XRCC1 Arg399Gln genetic polymorphism contributes to hepatocellular carcinoma susceptibility: an updated meta-analysis.

The potential correlation of X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) Arg399Gln polymorphism with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) susceptibility is ambiguous. Taking account of inconsistent results of previous meta-analyses and new emerging literatures, we conducted a meta-analysis covering 15 case-control datasets to evaluate the relationship. Relevant studies from Medline, Embase and C...
