    BackgroundSma-and mad-related protein 7 (SMAD7) can affect tumor progression by closing transforming growth factor-beta intracellular signaling channels. Despite the extensive research on the correlation between SMAD7 polymorphisms and colorectal cancer (CRC), the conclusions of studies are still contradictory. We conducted a study focusing on the association of SMAD7 polymorphisms rs4939827, rs4464148, and rs12953717 with CRC.MethodsWe searched through 5 databases for articles and used odd ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to discuss the correlation of SMAD7 polymorphisms with CRC risk. The heterogeneity will be appraised by subgroup analysis and meta-regression. Contour-enhanced funnel plot, Begg test and Egger test were utilized to estimate publication bias, and the sensitivity analysis illustrates the reliability of the outcomes. We performed False-positive report probability and trial sequential analysis methods to verify results. We also used public databases for bioinformatics analysis.ResultsWe conclusively included 34 studies totaling 173251 subjects in this study. The minor allele (C) of rs4939827 is a protective factor of CRC (dominant, OR/[95% CI] = 0.89/[0.83-0.97]; recessive, OR/[95% CI] = 0.89/[0.83-0.96]; homozygous, OR/[95% CI] = 0.84/[0.76-0.93]; heterozygous, OR/[95% CI] = 0.91/[0.85-0.97]; additive, OR/[95% CI] = 0.91/[0.87-0.96]). the T allele of rs12953717 (recessive, OR/[95% CI] = 1.22/[1.15-1.28]; homozygous, OR/[95% CI] = 1.25/[1.13-1.38]; additive, OR/[95% CI] = 1.11/[1.05-1.17]) and the C allele of rs4464148 (heterozygous, OR/[95% CI] = 1.13/[1.04-1.24]) can enhance the risk of CRC.ConclusionRs4939827 (T > C) can decrease the susceptibility to CRC. However, the rs4464148 (T > C) and rs12953717 (C > T) variants were connected with an enhanced risk of CRC.Copyright © 2023 the Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
