Abstract

Glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) gene Ile105Val polymorphism has been suggested to be involved in the development of glioma. However, the results from the studies regarding the association between GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphism and glioma risk have been inconsistent. Thus, we performed a meta-analysis to investigate this association. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95 % confidence intervals (95 %CIs) were calculated using random or fixed effects model. Nine studies with 2,078 cases and 3,970 controls were finally included into this meta-analysis. The results suggested there was no association between GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphism and glioma risk under recessive model (OR = 1.138, 95 %CI = 0.966–1.341, P heterogeneity = 0.088, P = 0.123). Subgroup analyses by ethnicity showed there was also no association between GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphism and glioma risk in mixed populations under recessive model (OR = 1.199, 95 %CI = 0.928–1.549, P heterogeneity = 0.060, P = 0.166) and Caucasian populations(OR = 1.097, 95 %CI = 0.885–1.360, P heterogeneity = 0.186, P = 0.398). In conclusion, the meta-analysis suggests that there is no association between GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphism and glioma risk. However, more well-designed and larger studies are needed to further assess this association.
