Abstract

The Arg194Trp polymorphism in the X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) gene has been proved to be in association with cancer risk in Chinese Mainland population, but a large number of studies have reported inconclusive results. A more comprehensive and precise estimation of the relationship is needed to clear the way towards future studies. Thus, we performed a meta-analysis to analysis these associations. A total of 34 case–control studies in 34 articles were included in this meta-analysis. The results showed that the 194Trp/Trp homozygote had a 31% increased risk of cancer than 194Trp/Arg and 194Arg/Arg genotypes, OR was 1.31 and 95%CI was 1.13 to 1.53. In the subgroup analysis by cancer sites, the Arg194Trp polymorphism was associated with increased risks of lung cancer (OR = 1.27 and 95%CI: 1.07-1.50 for Trp/Trp versus Arg/Arg + Arg/Trp) and esophageal cancer (OR = 1.68 and 95%CI: 1.33–2.13 for Trp/Trp versus Arg/Arg + Arg/Trp). This meta-analysis suggested that the Arg194Trp polymorphism of the XRCC1 gene is a cancer susceptible factor among Chinese Mainland population. More intensive and deeper studies are needed to further reveal the mechanism between Arg194Trp polymorphisms of XRCC1 gene and cancer risks in Chinese Mainland population.
