Association of GEMIN4 gene polymorphism and the risk of cancer: a meta-analysis
Gem-associated protein 4 (GEMIN4) gene is a key regulator for the miRNA biogenesis processes. Recent studies have demonstrated that some single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in GEMIN4 gene are associated with the risk of cancer, but the results are still controversial. Therefore, we conducted a me...

description | Gem-associated protein 4 (GEMIN4) gene is a key regulator for the miRNA biogenesis processes. Recent studies have demonstrated that some single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in GEMIN4 gene are associated with the risk of cancer, but the results are still controversial. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to analyze the association between three major SNPs (rs2740348, rs7813, and rs3744741) in the GEMIN4 gene and the risk of cancer. Relevant articles were searched in Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Chinese Wan Fang, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure databases. Pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated to quantitatively estimate the association. Publication bias and sensitivity analyses were undertaken to evaluate the stability of the results. Overall, the pooled results showed that rs2740348 involving 3,604 cases and 3,770 controls was significantly associated with increased cancer risk (GG vs GC/CC: OR =1.16, 95% CI =1.05–1.29, P=0.004) and rs7813 involving 4,729 cases and 4,562 controls was also related to increased cancer risk (TT vs TC/CC: OR =1.12, 95% CI =1.03–1.22, P=0.009). However, there was no significant association between rs3744741 and cancer risk under overall genetic models. In conclusion, our study has demonstrated that rs2740348 and rs7813 are associated with increased risk of cancer, and they may be new biomarkers for predicting cancer risk. |
