The relationship between CHRNA5/A3/B4 gene cluster polymorphisms and lung cancer risk: An updated meta-analysis and systematic review
BACKGROUND: Genetic polymorphisms in the 15q25 region have been associated with the risk of lung cancer (LC). However, studies have yielded conflicting results. METHODS: Searches were conducted in databases, including PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, CNKI, and Wanfang, for case-control studies up to...

Sumario: | BACKGROUND: Genetic polymorphisms in the 15q25 region have been associated with the risk of lung cancer (LC). However, studies have yielded conflicting results. METHODS: Searches were conducted in databases, including PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, CNKI, and Wanfang, for case-control studies up to August 1, 2019. After retrieving eligible studies and data extraction, we calculated pooled odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals. In the meta-analysis, we included 32 publications with a total of 52,795 patients with LC and 97,493 control cases to evaluate the polymorphisms in the CHRNA5/A3/B4 gene cluster in the 15q25 region. RESULTS: Data of the meta-analysis showed a significantly increased risk of LC in the presence of genetic polymorphisms (rs1051730, rs16969968, rs8034191). In the smoking subgroup, the CHRNA3 rs1051730 polymorphism was found to contribute to LC risk using following 5 models: the allelic model, the homozygous model, the heterozygous model, the dominant model, and the recessive model. Thus, the rs1051730 polymorphism may modify LC susceptibility under the condition of smoking. Stratification studies for CHRNA5-rs8034191 showed that Caucasian groups with the wild-type genotype (C/C) may be susceptible to LC in all 5 models. No significant relationship between CHRNA3 rs6495309 or rs3743073 and LC susceptibility was found. However, Asians with the rs3743037 B-allele showed an obviously higher risk of LC susceptibility than the Caucasian population, observed via allelic, heterozygous, and dominant models. CONCLUSIONS: The 3 polymorphisms of rs1051730, rs16969968 and rs8034191 in the CHRNA5/A3/B4 gene cluster in the 15q25 region were associated with LC risk, which might be influenced by ethnicity and smoking status. |
