The association between GNB3 C825T polymorphism and cancer risk has been investigated. However, results remain inconclusive. In this study we aimed to obtain a more precise estimation of this association.
A meta-analysis of 8 eligible studies including 1,812 cancer cases and 3,731 controls was conducted with odds ratios (ORs) and the corresponding 95% confidence interval (95% CI).
The results demonstrated a borderline association between the GNB3 C825T polymorphism and the risk of overall cancer in the dominant model (TT+TC vs CC, OR=1.13, 95% CI=1.00-1.28, PH=0.71, p=0.05). In the stratified analysis by cancer type, significant association of cancer risk was observed in thyroid carcinoma (TC vs CC, OR=1.26, 95% CI=1.02-1.54, PH=0.63, p=0.03; TT+TC vs CC, OR=1.24, 95% CI=1.02-1.51, PH=0.70, p=0.04). After further stratified analysis based on country, the GNB3 C825T polymorphism showed statistically significant association with increased risk of cancer in Austria (TT vs CC, OR=1.44, 95% CI=1.01-2.04, PH-0.88, p-0.04; TT vs TT+TC, OR=1.49, 95% CI=1.07-2.64, PH=0.87, p=0.02) and Germany (TC vs CC, OR=1.25, 95% CI=1.02-1.53; PH=0.87, p=0.03; TT+TC vs CC, OR=1.23, 95% CI=1.02-1.49, PH-0.90, p-0.04).
The current meta-analysis suggested that the GNB3 C825T polymorphism may contribute to increased risk of cancer, especially of thyroid carcinoma.
已对GNB3基因C825T多态性与癌症风险之间的关联进行了研究。然而,结果仍无定论。在本研究中,我们旨在更精确地评估这种关联。
对8项符合条件的研究进行荟萃分析,包括1812例癌症病例和3731例对照,计算比值比(OR)及相应的95%置信区间(95%CI)。
结果显示,在显性模型中(TT+TC对比CC),GNB3基因C825T多态性与总体癌症风险之间存在临界关联(OR=1.13,95%CI=1.00-1.28,PH=0.71,p=0.05)。在按癌症类型进行的分层分析中,甲状腺癌的癌症风险存在显著关联(TC对比CC,OR=1.26,95%CI=1.02-1.54,PH=0.63,p=0.03;TT+TC对比CC,OR=1.24,95%CI=1.02-1.51,PH=0.70,p=0.04)。在基于国家进一步分层分析后,GNB3基因C825T多态性在奥地利(TT对比CC,OR=1.44,95%CI=1.01-2.04,PH=0.88,p=0.04;TT对比TT+TC,OR=1.49,95%CI=1.07-2.64,PH=0.87,p=0.02)和德国(TC对比CC,OR=1.25,95%CI=1.02-1.53;PH=0.87,p=0.03;TT+TC对比CC,OR=1.23,95%CI=1.
