FAS/FASL gene promoter polymorphisms have been repeatedly associated with gastric cancer risk, but findings are inconclusive across studies. To address a more precise estimation of the relationship, a meta-analysis was performed.
Data were collected from the Pubmed, Medline and EMBASE databases, with the last report up to 1 December, 2011. Crude ORs with 95% CIs were used to assess the strength of the association by (1) the additive, (2) the codominant, (3) the dominant, and (4) the recessive models.
A total of seven studies, including six studies on FAS -1377G>A polymorphism, five studies on FAS -670A>G polymorphism, and six studies on FASL -844T>C polymorphism, were identified in the current meta-analysis. Overall, an association of FAS -1377G>A (AA versus GG: OR = 1.313, 95% CI = 1.045-1.650, Ph = 0.347, I2 = 10.8) and FASL -844T>C (CC versus TT: OR = 1.352, 95% CI = 1.043-1.752, Ph = 0.461, I2 = 0.0) polymorphisms with gastric cancer was found in the codominant model. However, we did not detect any association between gastric cancer and the FAS -670A>G polymorphism. In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, similar elevated risks were also observed in Asian population for FAS -1377G>A (AA versus GG: OR = 1.309, 95% CI = 1.041- 1.646, Ph = 0.240, I2 = 27.3) and FASL -844T>C (CC versus TT: OR = 1.420, 95% CI = 1.081-1.865, Ph = 0.524, I2 = 0.0) polymorphisms.
This meta-analysis indicated that FAS -1377G>A and FASL -844T>C polymorphisms might be associated with gastric cancer risk.
FAS/FASL基因启动子多态性与胃癌风险的关联已被反复研究,但各研究结果尚无定论。为更精确地评估二者关系,进行了一项荟萃分析。
从PubMed、Medline和EMBASE数据库收集数据,截至2011年12月1日的最新报告。采用粗OR值及95%可信区间,通过(1)相加模型、(2)共显性模型、(3)显性模型和(4)隐性模型评估关联强度。
本荟萃分析共纳入7项研究,其中6项关于FAS -1377G>A多态性,5项关于FAS -670A>G多态性,6项关于FASL -844T>C多态性。总体而言,在共显性模型中发现FAS -1377G>A(AA与GG相比:OR = 1.313,95%可信区间 = 1.045 - 1.650,P_h = 0.347,I² = 10.8)和FASL -844T>C(CC与TT相比:OR = 1.352,95%可信区间 = 1.043 - 1.752,P_h = 0.461,I² = 0.0)多态性与胃癌有关。然而,未发现胃癌与FAS -670A>G多态性之间存在关联。在按种族进行的亚组分析中,亚洲人群中FAS -1377G>A(AA与GG相比:OR = 1.309,95%可信区间 = 1.041 - 1.646,P_h = 0.240,I² = 27.3)和FASL -844T>C(CC与TT相比:OR = 1.420,95%可信区间 = 1.081 - 1.865,P_h = 0.524,I² = 0.0)多态性也有类似的风险升高。
本荟萃分析表明,FAS -1377G>A和FASL -844T>C多态性可能与胃癌风险有关。
