Lack of association of the iNOS gene polymorphism with risk of cancer: a systematic review and Meta-Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to investigate the association between the iNOS gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to cancer, a search of English papers was done using Pubmed, the Cochrane Library, Embase, ISI Web of Science, Google (scholar) database, and all Chinese reports were conducted using CBMDisc, Chongqing VIP database, and CNKI database. A total of eight studies were included in this meta-analysis including 1,920 cases and 2,373 controls. The results indicated that the polymorphisms in iNOS gene (C150T(Ser(608) Leu) polymorphism and polymorphic (CCTTT)n repeats) had no association with cancer risk for all genetic models. This meta-analysis suggested that the polymorphisms in the iNOS gene were not associated with cancer risk.

Association between the Functional Polymorphism of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Gene and Breast Cancer: A Meta-Analysis
The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene single-nucleotide polymorphism involved in the regulation of the protein levels has been implicated in breast cancer. However, the published studies have produced contentious and controversial results. Herein, we performed a meta-analysis (from January to October 2013); to further evaluate the association between +936 C/T polymorphism and the r...

متن کاملAssociation of p53 codon 72 Arg>Pro polymorphism and risk of cancer in Iranian population: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Background: Different studies have investigated the association between p53 codon 72 Arg>Pro polymorphism and cancer risk. Because of the lack of consensus of the results in individual studies, we conducted this meta-analysis by pooling all currently available case–control studies to estimate the effect of p53 codon 72 Arg/Pro polymorphism on cancer susceptibility in Iranian population. ...

Background: Many studies have reported the association of estrogen receptor α gene (ESRα) ESRα PvuII T>C, XbaI A>G and BtgI G>A polymorphisms with Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) risk, but the results remained controversial. In order to drive a more precise estimation, the present systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to investigate the association between ESRα polymorphisms and KOA susce...
متن کاملAssociation of the CTLA-4 1722TC polymorphism and systemic lupus erythematosus: a systematic review and meta analysis
Background :Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) is an important negative regulator of T-cell responses. The -1722TC polymorphism of the CTLA-4 gene may be associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) risk, but related results from previous studies have been inconsistent. We carried out a meta-analysis to assess this association more precisely. Methods : A systematic s...
