Many published studies have estimated the association between the +331G/A (rs10895068) polymorphism in the progesterone receptor (PgR) gene and breast cancer risk. However, the results remain inconsistent and controversial. To address this inconsistency, we systematically interrogated the aforementioned association via a meta-analysis.
Through a literature search, we identified 13 case-control studies, including 12,453 cases and 14,056 case-free controls. The strengths of reported associations were evaluated using odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs).
An association was found between +331G/A polymorphism and +331G/A risk in the dominant model (p = 0.027). Via subgroup analysis, we found no association between +331G/A and breast cancer risk in Caucasians, Asians or mixed racial groups.
Through meta-analysis, we were able to gain insight into previously reported associations between +331G/A polymorphism and breast cancer risk. However, further studies are still needed to provide more evidence.
许多已发表的研究估计了孕激素受体(PgR)基因中+331G/A(rs10895068)多态性与乳腺癌风险之间的关联。然而,结果仍然不一致且存在争议。为了解决这种不一致性,我们通过荟萃分析系统地探究了上述关联。
通过文献检索,我们确定了13项病例对照研究,包括12453例病例和14056例无病例对照。使用比值比(OR)和95%置信区间(95%CI)评估报告关联的强度。
在显性模型中发现+331G/A多态性与+331G/A风险之间存在关联(p = 0.027)。通过亚组分析,我们发现在白种人、亚洲人或混合种族群体中,+331G/A与乳腺癌风险之间无关联。
通过荟萃分析,我们能够深入了解先前报道的+331G/A多态性与乳腺癌风险之间的关联。然而,仍需要进一步的研究来提供更多证据。
