is leukocyte telomere length related with lung cancer risk?: a meta-analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
background: epidemiological studies have probed the correlation between telomere length and the risk of lung cancer, but their findings are inconsistent in this regard. the present meta-analysis study has been carried out to demonstrate the association between relative telomere length in peripheral blood leukocytes and the risk of lung cancer using an established q-pcr technique. methods: a systematic search was carried out using pubmed, embase, and isi before 2015. a total of 2925 cases of lung cancer and 2931 controls from 9 studies were employed to probe the relationship between lung cancer and telomere length .ors were used at 95% ci. random-effects models were used to investigate this relationship based on the heterogeneity test. heterogeneity among studies was analyzed employing subgroup analysis based on type studies and the year of publication. results: random-effects meta-analysis revealed that patients with lung cancer were expected to have shorter telomere length than the control (1.13, 95% ci: 0.82-1.81, p=0.46). the summary of the pooled ors of telomere length in adenocarcinoma lung cancer patients was 1 (95%ci=0.68-1.47, i2=93%) compared to patients with squamous cell lung cancer, which was 1.78 (95% ci=1.25-2.53, i2=3.9%). the meta-regression revealed that the effect of telomere length shortening, decreased and increased with the year of publication and the age of risks to lung cancer, was clearly related to short telomeres lengths. conclusion: lung cancer risks clearly related with short telomeres lengths. in patients with breathing problems, lung cancer risk can be predicted by telomere length adjustment with age, sex, and smoking.

متن کاملLeukocyte telomere length in patients with schizophrenia: A meta-analysis.
Schizophrenia has been suggested as a syndrome of accelerated aging. Telomere length (TL) decrease is considered one biological marker associated with age and can be accelerated by pathological characteristics present in schizophrenia. Several studies evaluated TL in schizophrenia, but the results are still controversial. The aim of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis of the existing resu...
متن کاملLeukocyte telomere length and hippocampus volume: a meta-analysis
Leukocyte telomere length has been shown to correlate to hippocampus volume, but effect estimates differ in magnitude and are not uniformly positive. This study aimed primarily to investigate the relationship between leukocyte telomere length and hippocampus gray matter volume by meta-analysis and secondarily to investigate possible effect moderators. Five studies were included with a total of ...
متن کاملShortened Telomere Length Is Associated with Increased Risk of Cancer: A Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND Telomeres play a key role in the maintenance of chromosome integrity and stability, and telomere shortening is involved in initiation and progression of malignancies. A series of epidemiological studies have examined the association between shortened telomeres and risk of cancers, but the findings remain conflicting. METHODS A dataset composed of 11,255 cases and 13,101 controls fr...

Telomere length is widely considered a marker of biological aging. For convenience, telomere lengths in human population studies have been predominately measured in peripheral blood leukocytes. Although leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is generally inversely...
