Abstract
BACKGROUND
Excision repair cross complementation group 1 (ERCC1) has been shown to be involved in the progression of glioma susceptibility. However, the results remain conflict. The aim of this study was to systematically review and evaluate the role of ERCC1 C118T and C8092A polymorphisms in glioma risk among Chinese population.
METHODS
Related case-control studies were searched in online electronic databases. Odds ratio (OR) with its 95% confidence interval (CI) were employed to calculate the extracted data.
RESULTS
Total seven articles were retrieved, including 4426 subjects (1926 were glioma patients and 2500 were matched controls). No significant heterogeneity was found between studies (I(2)=0%, P>0.01). Our results demonstrated that A allele and AA genotype of ERCC1 C8092A polymorphism have a positive association with increasing the risk of glioma in the fixed-effect model (A vs. C: OR=1.13, 95% CI=1.02-1.25, P=0.02; AA vs. CC: OR=1.29, 95% CI=1.04-1.61, P=0.02; AA vs. CA+CC: OR=1.25, 95% CI=1.01-1.55, P=0.04). However, no significant relationship was found between C118T variant and glioma susceptibility.
CONCLUSIONS
Our results indicated that ERCC1 C8092A, not C118T polymorphism might be a biomarker for patients with glioma among Chinese population. Future studies with more ethnicities are needed to explore the precise association.
