Association between Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) +49 G>A (rs231775) polymorphism and esophageal cancer: from a case-control study to a meta-analysis.

چکیده
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between CTLA-4 +49 G>A polymorphism and esophageal cancer (EC) susceptibility in a hospital based case-control study and a subsequent meta-analysis. We implemented genotyping analyses for CTLA-4 +49 G>A polymorphism with 629 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cases and 686 controls in a Chinese Han population. Polymerase chain reaction ligase detection reaction (PCR-LDR) method was used to identify genotypes of CTLA-4 +49 G>A polymorphism. We first assessed the association between CTLA-4 +49 G>A polymorphism and EC risk in a hospital based case-control study, and then performed a comprehensive meta-analysis to derive a more precise estimation. Our results demonstrated that CTLA-4 +49 G>A polymorphism was not associated with EC risk. This case-control study and further meta-analysis, failed to identify the association between CTLA-4 +49 G>A polymorphism and EC risk. And additional, further well designed studies with large sample sizes and detailed gene-environment data are required.

BACKGROUND The association between cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) gene -1722T/C polymorphism (rs733618) and cancer has been widely assessed, and a definitive conclusion remains elusive. We first performed a hospital based case-control study to measure this association of esophageal cancer with CTLA-4 -1722T/C polymorphism in Han Chinese population, and then carried out a meta-analysi...
متن کاملP-212: Association between Polymorphisms of CTLA-4 Gene and Unexplained Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion in An Iranian Population
Background: Unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA) has been suggested being associated with the failure of fetal-maternal immunologic tolerance in which the regulatory T lymphocytes (Tregs) play a crucial role. Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is expressed transiently on activated T cells and constitutively on Tregs. CTLA-4 interacts with the B7 cell surface molec...

Objective: We aimed to investigate the association of +49 A/G (rs231775), +1822 C/T (rs231779) and +6230 A/G (CT60, rs3087243) genetic variations, as well as the merged haplotypes in CTLA-4 gene with susceptibility to, or progression of head and neck cancer. Methods: Eighty pa...
