In order to explore the association between cadherin 13 (CDH13) gene promoter methylation and lung carcinoma (LC) risk, we carried out a meta-analysis with searching of PubMed, Web of Science. Ultimately, 17 articles were identified and analysised by STATA 12.0 software. Overall, we found a significant relationship between CDH13 promoter methylation and LC risk (odds ratio=6.98, 95% confidence interval: 4.21-11.56, p<0.001). Subgroup analyses further revealed that LC risk was increased for individuals carrying the methylated CDH13 compared with those with unmethylated CDH13. Hence, our study identified a strong association between CDH13 gene promoter methylation and LC and highlighted a promising potential for CDH13 methylation in LC risk prediction.
为了探讨钙黏蛋白13(CDH13)基因启动子甲基化与肺癌(LC)风险之间的关联,我们通过检索PubMed、Web of Science进行了一项荟萃分析。最终,通过STATA 12.0软件识别并分析了17篇文章。总体而言,我们发现CDH13启动子甲基化与LC风险之间存在显著关系(优势比=6.98,95%置信区间:4.21-11.56,p<0.001)。亚组分析进一步显示,与未甲基化CDH13的个体相比,携带甲基化CDH13的个体患LC的风险增加。因此,我们的研究确定了CDH13基因启动子甲基化与LC之间的强关联,并突出了CDH13甲基化在LC风险预测中的潜在前景。
