Abstract
|
|
Aims:
In previous studies, G protein β3 subunit (GNB3) C825T polymorphism was reported to have association with various cancers. However, the results were inconclusive, this meta-analysis was performed to investigate the association between GNB3 gene polymorphism C825T and cancer risk.
Methods: A comprehensive search in PubMed database was conducted for studies by March, 2014. Meta-analysis was performed using the STATA 11.0 software. Cancer risk associated with GNB3 C825T was estimated by pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Results: Nine independent studies including 2246 cancers and 3851 controls were included in our meta-analysis. Our results indicated that GNB3 C825T was not associated with the risk of cancer for alleles T vs C [odd ratio (OR) = 1.03, 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 0.95–1.12], TT vs CC (OR = 1.10, 95%CI: 0.91–1.33), CT vs CC (OR = 1.03, 95%CI: 0.91–1.16), CT/TT vs CC (OR = 1.04, 95%CI : 0.93–1.17), and TT vs. CC/CT (OR = 1.01, 95%CI : 0.78–1.31). In stratified analysis, however, we found a significant association between GNB3 C825T and increased breast cancer risk in Caucasian (TT vs CC OR=1.44, 95% CI=1.02–2.04; TT vs CT/CC OR=1.49, 95% CI=1.07–2.09). Conclusion: The GNB3 C825T polymorphism was not associated with the risk of cancers as a whole, but there was a significant association between the polymorphism and breast cancer in Caucasian. | |
