Abstract
AIM: To accurately evaluate the association between the miRNA-146a rs2910164 polymorphism and susceptibility to hepatocellular carcinoma by Meta-analysis.
METHODS: An electronic search of PubMed, Excerpta Medica Database (Embase), Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), the Cochrane Library, Weipu and Wanfang database for relevant articles was conducted. The difference of miRNA-146a rs2910164 genotypes (G vs C, GG vs CC, GG vs GC, GC vs CC, GG + GC vs CC, and GG vs GC + CC) between cases and controls was analyzed through Meta-analysis.
RESULTS: A total of 8 studies involving 5968 subjects were found to be eligible for our meta-analysis. There was evidence of association between miR-146a rs2910164 polymorphism and the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in the overall analysis (GC vs CC: OR = 1.15; 95%CI: 1.02-1.92, P = 0.02; GG + GC vs CC: OR = 1.15; 95%CI: 1.03-1.29, P = 0.01). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, similar results could be found among Asians (GC vs CC: OR = 1.15, 95%CI = 1.02-1.29, P = 0.02).
CONCLUSION: Our Meta-analysis suggested that the rs2910164 polymorphism in miR-146a was more likely to be associated with hepatocellular carcinoma risk. Besides, the CC genotype of rs2910164 might be associated with a reduced risk for hepatocellular carcinoma.
