The EGFR R521K polymorphism has been shown to reduce the activity of EGFR; however, the association between EGFR R521K polymorphism and the risk of cancer remains inconclusive; therefore we performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the relationship between EGFR R521K polymorphism and susceptibility to cancer. Our results suggest that the EGFR R521K polymorphism is not associated with risk of cancer, but the different chemosensitivity to anticancer drugs may need further investigation.
表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)R521K多态性已被证明会降低EGFR的活性;然而,EGFR R521K多态性与癌症风险之间的关联仍无定论;因此,我们进行了一项荟萃分析,以评估EGFR R521K多态性与癌症易感性之间的关系。我们的结果表明,EGFR R521K多态性与癌症风险无关,但对抗癌药物的不同化学敏感性可能需要进一步研究。
