Associations between cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) +49A/G polymorphism and cancer risk are inconclusive. We performed this meta-analysis to derive a more precise estimation of the relationship.
A comprehensive literature search was performed using electronic databases. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of association.
A total of 16,358 cases and 19,737 controls from 46 studies were included. Overall, significant association between CTLA-4 +49A/G polymorphism and cancer risk was observed in all genetic models (G vs. A: OR=0.88, 95%CI=0.83-0.93, PH=0.000; GA vs. AA: OR=0.87, 95%CI=0.79-0.97, PH=0.000; GG vs. AA: OR=0.75, 95%CI= 0.65-0.86, PH=0.000; GG vs. GA+AA: OR=0.84, 95%CI=0.79-0.91, PH=0.001; GG+GA vs. AA: OR=0.83, 95%CI=0.74-0.92, PH=0.000). Stratified analysis by cancer type revealed that the CTLA-4+49A/G polymorphism is associated with the decreased risk of cervical cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, HCC. Further subgroup analysis by ethnicity indicated that there was a statistically decreased cancer risk in Asian population.
This meta-analysis suggests that CTLA-4+49A/G polymorphism is associated with cancer risk, especially in Asian population.
细胞毒性T淋巴细胞抗原4(CTLA-4)+49A/G多态性与癌症风险之间的关联尚无定论。我们进行了这项荟萃分析,以更精确地评估二者之间的关系。
使用电子数据库进行全面的文献检索。采用比值比(OR)及95%置信区间(CI)评估关联强度。
共纳入46项研究中的16358例病例和19737例对照。总体而言,在所有遗传模型中均观察到CTLA-4 +49A/G多态性与癌症风险之间存在显著关联(G与A相比:OR = 0.88,95%CI = 0.83 - 0.93,P值 = 0.000;GA与AA相比:OR = 0.87,95%CI = 0.79 - 0.97,P值 = 0.000;GG与AA相比:OR = 0.75,95%CI = 0.65 - 0.86,P值 = 0.000;GG与GA + AA相比:OR = 0.84,95%CI = 0.79 - 0.91,P值 = 0.001;GG + GA与AA相比:OR = 0.83,95%CI = 0.74 - 0.92,P值 = 0.000)。按癌症类型进行的分层分析显示,CTLA-4 +49A/G多态性与宫颈癌、乳腺癌、肺癌、肝癌风险降低相关。按种族进行的进一步亚组分析表明,亚洲人群的癌症风险在统计学上有所降低。
这项荟萃分析表明,CTLA-4 +49A/G多态性与癌症风险相关,尤其是在亚洲人群中。
