Meta Analysisrs719725 Polymorphism and Colorectal Cancer Susceptibility: A Meta-analysis.
Many studies have suggested an association between 9p24 rs719725 polymorphism and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, but with inconsistent results. This meta-analysis aimed to summarise the overall association of rs719725 polymorphism with CRC risk. Nine eligible articles with 21 case-control studies (16015 CRC patients and 19341 controls) on the rs719725 polymorphism and CRC susceptibility from four electronic databases (Web of Science, PubMed, SinoMed, and EMBASE) were retrieved and analysed. ⋯ Taken together, this meta-analysis indicates that rs719725 genetic variants are associated with an increased risk of CRC among Caucasians and population-based studies. Further relevant research is warranted to confirm these findings. Key Words: Colorectal cancer, rs719725, Polymorphism, Meta-analysis, Stratification analysis.
