Abstract

Abstract: Background: Several studies have investigated miR-4293 rs12220909 polymorphisms and cancer susceptibility and yielded different results. Because of this controversy, we designed a meta-analysis to assess comprehensively the association of the rs12220909 polymorphism with cancer risk. Methods: Relevant articles were collected by searching the databases of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and WanFang. Data on rs12220909 in cancer patients and controls were extracted. Sensitivity analyses and publication bias assessments were performed. Results: Five studies with 3820 cases and 4574 controls were included in our meta-analysis. Pooled analyses showed that the rs12220909 polymorphism was not associated with cancer risk in any genetic model. (C vs G: odds ratio [OR] = 0.89, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.74–1.07; GC vs GG: OR = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.67–1.03; CC vs GG: OR = 1.06, 95% CI = 0.82–1.36; CC+GC vs GG: OR = 0.84, 95% CI = 0.69–1.03; CC vs GC+GG: OR = 1.10, 95% CI = 0.85–1.40). Conclusions: Our results indicate that rs12220909 is not associated with cancer risk. Larger, well-designed multicenter studies are needed to further explore the association of miR-4293 rs12220909 polymorphism with cancer risk.
