Abstract
The vascular endothelial growth factor regulates angiogenesis that is increased in glioma. VEGF polymorphisms are thought to modulate vascular endothelial growth factor plasma levels and therefore may be implicated in glioma risk. We aimed to clarify the role of VEGF and von Willebrand factor polymorphisms in glioma susceptibility and prognosis. A case-control study of 126 glioma patients and 180 cancer-free controls was performed. Using Sequenom MassARRAY platform, 11 VEGF and 1 VWF polymorphisms were genotyped. Unconditional multivariate logistic regression models were used to calculate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. The associations between polymorphisms and survival were evaluated using a Cox regression model. Bonferroni's adjustment was used to correct for multiple testing. The VEGF polymorphism rs833061 was strongly associated with increased risk for glioma (odds ratio = 164.85) and glioblastoma (odds ratio = 155.66), confirmed after Bonferroni correction. Also, the VEGF polymorphisms rs3024994, rs2010963, and particularly the homozygous carriers of rs1005230 were associated with a worse prognosis for glioma and glioblastoma. Our data support a role of VEGF and VWF polymorphisms as glioma biomarkers, with additional potential relevance for molecular stratification of patients for anti-angiogenic therapies.

Lung Cancer 2017; 113:18-29. [PMID: 29110844 DOI: 10.1016/j.lungcan.2017.08.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2017] [Revised: 08/18/2017] [Accepted: 08/25/2017] [Indexed: 01/30/2023]
Abstract
A growing number of studies investigating the association between Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) and lung cancer risk have been published since over a decade ago. An updated integrative assessment on the credibility and strength of the associations is required. We searched PubMed, Medline, and Web of Science on or before August 29th, 2016. A total of 198 articles were deemed eligible for inclusion, which addressed the associations between 108 variants and lung cancer. Among the 108 variants, 63 were reported to be significantly associated with lung cancer while the remaining 45 were reported non-significant. Further evaluation integrating the Venice Criteria and false-positive report probability (FPRP) was performed to determine the strength of cumulative epidemiological evidence for the 63 significant associations. As a result, 15 SNPs on or near 12 genes and one miRNA with strong evidence of association with lung cancer risk were identified, including TERT (rs2736098), CHRNA3 (rs1051730), AGPHD1 (rs8034191), CLPTM1L (rs401681 and rs402710), BAT3 (rs3117582), TRNAA (rs4324798), ERCC2 (Lys751Gln), miR-146a2 (rs2910164), CYP1B1 (Arg48Gly), GSTM1 (null/present), SOD2 (C47T), IL-10 (-592C/A and -819C/T), and TP53 (intron 6). 19 SNPs were given moderate rating and 17 SNPs were rated as having weak evidence. In addition, all of the 29 SNPs identified in 12 genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were proved to be noteworthy based on FPRP value. This review summarizes and evaluates the cumulative evidence of genetic polymorphisms and lung cancer risk, which can serve as a general and useful reference for further genetic studies.

Association between genetic polymorphisms involved in the hypoxia-inducible factor pathway and lung cancer risk: a case-control study in Japan. Asia Pac J Clin Oncol 2016; 13:234-242. [PMID: 27981753 DOI: 10.1111/ajco.12640] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2016] [Revised: 09/27/2016] [Accepted: 10/03/2016] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
AIM Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) contributes to the adaptation of tumor cells to hypoxic conditions, so genetic polymorphisms involved in this pathway may affect cellular response to hypoxia and be associated with cancer risk. Thus, we examined the association between the lung cancer risk and genetic polymorphisms involved in the HIF pathway. METHODS This case-control study consists of 462 lung cancer cases and 379 controls from Japan. We examined the effect of HIF1A rs11549467, HIF1A rs11549465, HIF1A rs2057482, HIF2A rs13419896 and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) rs833061 on the risk of lung cancer using TaqMan real-time PCR assay. Logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) of lung cancer risk. The multiplicative and additive interactions with cigarette smoking were also examined. RESULTS The AA genotype of HIF2A rs13419896 (OR = 0.54, 95% CI = 0.30-0.99) and the CC genotype of VEGFA rs833061 (OR = 0.42, 95% CI = 0.24-0.75) were significantly associated with a decreased risk of lung cancer after adjustment of potential covariates. Additive interactions between these two polymorphisms and cigarette smoking were also significant. CONCLUSION HIF2A rs13419896 and VEGFA rs833061 were significantly related to lung cancer risk, with possible interaction between polymorphisms and cigarette smoking. Further studies are needed to confirm these results.

Abstract
Genome-wide association studies have identified 8q24.21-rs6983267 as a new colorectal cancer (CRC) and colorectal adenoma (CRA) susceptibility locus in populations of European descent. Since then, the relationship between 8q24.21-rs6983267 and CRC/CRA has been reported in various ethnic groups; however, these studies have yielded inconsistent results. To investigate this inconsistency and derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, we conducted a meta-analysis of 31 studies, including 51,293 cases and 58,962 controls for CRC, and 8,148 cases and 17,065 controls for CRA. Potential sources of heterogeneity and publication bias were also systematically explored. Overall, the summary odds ratio of G variant for CRC was 1.18 (95% CI, 1.16-1.21; P < 10(-5)) and 1.17 (95% CI, 1.11-1.23; P < 10(-5)) for CRA. Significant results were observed using dominant or recessive genetic model for the polymorphism. In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, significantly increased risks were found in East Asians and Caucasian populations; while no significant associations were detected among African Americans. After stratifying by sample size and control source, significant associations were also obtained. This meta-analysis suggests that the 8q24.21-rs6983267 polymorphism is associated with CRC/CRA susceptibility, but these associations vary in different ethnic populations.

Abstract
The insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the gene encoding angiotensin converting enzyme is a controversial risk factor for restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasties (PTCA) in patients. Genetic association studies can be problematic to reproduce due to insufficient power, phenotypic heterogeneity, population stratification, small effect of the variant and even publication biases. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship as well as to quantify the between-study heterogeneity and potential bias, a meta-analysis including 11,193 patients from 33 published cohort studies was performed. In a combined analysis, the summary per-allele odds ratio for restenosis was 1.31 (95% CI: 1.08-1.58, P = 0.006), and 1.22 (95% CI: 0.95-1.56, P = 0.12), for PTCA-stent and PTCA-balloon, respectively. In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, significantly increased restenosis risks after PTCA-stent were found in Asians for the polymorphism; whereas no significant associations were found among Caucasians. As for restenosis risks after PTCA-balloon, no evidence of any gene-disease association was obtained in the stratified analyses according to ethnicity and study size. In conclusion, this meta-analysis demonstrated that the DD homozygous of ACE I/D polymorphism was significantly associated with elevated restenosis susceptibility after PTCA-stent among Asian populations.
