An updated association between TNF-α -238G/A polymorphism and gastric cancer susceptibility in East Asians
Polymorphisms in the tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) gene are emerging as key determinants of gastric diseases. The TNF-α-238G/A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is the most extensively studied. However, this association is inconsistent amongst different populations. We therefore conducted an up...

description | Polymorphisms in the tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) gene are emerging as key determinants of gastric diseases. The TNF-α-238G/A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is the most extensively studied. However, this association is inconsistent amongst different populations. We therefore conducted an updated meta-analysis to obtain a more precise estimate of the association of TNF-α-238G/A polymorphism with gastric cancer (GC) risk. A comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, Chinese (CNKI and WanFang) databases was performed to identify relevant studies through 5 May 2018. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to assess the strength of the association. Fourteen studies were included in our meta-analysis involving 2999 cases and 4685 controls. There was no significant association between TNF-α-238G/A polymorphism and GC risk in the overall populations. In the subgroup analysis, we found that TNF-α-238G/A polymorphism was associated with the increased risk of GC amongst Asians, especially in Chinese, but not in Caucasians. Subgroup analysis by genotyping methods revealed increased risk for other methods. In conclusion, our present meta-analysis shows that TNF-α-238G/A polymorphism is associated with the risk of GC in East Asian individuals. |
