Abstract
OBJECTIVE
This meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between ERCC1 and XPC polymorphisms and the risk of head and neck cancer (HNC), incorporating more studies and additional analyses.
DESIGN
An exhaustive search of various databases, including PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Library was carried out, up until November 18, 2023, to identify pertinent studies. The Review Manager 5.3 software was employed to calculate the effect sizes, which were presented as the odds ratio (OR) along with a 95% confidence interval (CI).
RESULTS
The study found that the T allele (OR = 1.11; p-value = 0.02; 95%CI: 1.02, 1.22) and the TT genotype rs2228000 polymorphism in both the homozygous model (OR = 1.61, p-value = 0.02; 95%CI: 1.07, 2.42) and the recessive model (OR = 1.53; p-value = 0.02; 95%CI: 1.06, 2.22) had statistically significant associations. However, no significant associations were found for rs11615, rs3212986, rs735482, rs2228001, and PAT polymorphisms in any genetic models.
CONCLUSIONS
The meta-analysis revealed significant associations for the T allele and TT genotype rs2228000 polymorphism, but not for rs11615, rs3212986, rs735482, rs2228001, and PAT polymorphisms. The results highlight the impact of factors such as ethnicity, cancer subtype, and control source on these associations, emphasizing the intricate nature of genetic interactions in disease risk.
