Abstract
Associations between CCL5-403, CCR5-59029, and Delta32 polymorphisms and cancer risk are inconclusive. To derive a more precise estimation of the association, we performed a meta-analysis by searching PubMed, EMBASE, Google scholar, and WanFang databases. A total of 20 eligible articles with 39 studies were included. Of those studies, there were 21 studies for CCR5-Delta32 polymorphism, 9 studies for CCR5-59029 polymorphism, and 9 studies for CCL5-403 polymorphism. Combined analysis revealed no associations between these polymorphisms and cancer risk. However, subgroup analysis by ethnicity suggested that CCR5-59029 polymorphism was associated with the risk of cancer among Asian populations (A vs. G: odds ratio (OR) = 1.36, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.13–1.65, P H = 0.27; AA vs. GG: OR = 2.07, 95 % CI 1.37–3.12, P H = 0.17; GA+AA vs. GG: OR = 1.35, 95 % CI 1.03–1.77, P H = 0.92; AA vs. GA+GG: OR = 1.98, 95 % CI 1.01–3.88, P H = 0.08), but not among Caucasian populations. CCL5-403 polymorphism was associated with the risk of cancer among African populations (A vs. G: OR = 0.68, 95 % CI 0.55–0.83, P H = 0.14; AA vs. GG: OR = 0.51, 95 % CI 0.33–0.77, P H = 0.52; AG vs. GG: OR = 0.58, 95 % CI 0.42–0.80, P H = 0.14; AG+AA vs. GG: OR = 0.56, 95 % CI 0.41–0.75, P H = 0.13), but not among Caucasian populations and Asian populations. Overall, this meta-analysis indicated that CCR5-Delta32 was not associated with the risk of cancer. CCR5-59029 polymorphism contributed to cancer risk among Asian populations, and CCL5-403 polymorphism was associated with the decreased risk of cancer among African populations.
