Summary: This systematic review evaluated the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), focusing on tumorigenesis and prognosis. Based on 34 studies, a total of 43 SNPs in 32 genes associated with CCA risk, metastatic progression, and overall prognosis were identified. The study comprehensively described the mechanisms and potential clinical implications associated with these SNPs. The findings suggest that multiple SNPs play different roles at different stages of CCA and may serve as biomarkers for guiding treatment and assessing oncological risk.

Summary: Through meta-analysis, it was found that SNPs related to immune response are closely associated with AG risk, suggesting their potential as predictive biomarkers for AG. Further updated meta-analyses based on extensive relevant studies are needed for more reliable results.

Summary: Antipsychotic-induced akathisia (AIA) is a movement disorder characterized by inner restlessness and repetitive movements, which can occur in patients taking antipsychotics. This study reviewed genetic studies on AIA and found several genetic markers associated with the condition. Understanding the genetic predictors of AIA could help in developing personalized prevention and treatment strategies for this adverse drug reaction in patients with schizophrenia.

Summary: This manuscript critically reviewed the medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), updating key terminology, concepts, and current trends in prevention and diagnosis, while examining therapeutic options available. By perusing relevant literature, the review updated the understanding of MRONJ, highlighting gaps in knowledge and emphasizing the need for further research.

Summary: The association between two NLRP3 gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to autoimmune diseases is controversial, with rs35829419 showing no significant association but potentially protective effect in rheumatoid arthritis, and rs10754558 significantly reducing the risk of AIDs, especially in Latin American individuals.

Summary: This study investigated the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the OR51E1 gene and glioma susceptibility in the Chinese Han population. The results showed that polymorphisms rs10768148, rs7102992, and rs10500608 were associated with glioma risk in the overall sample. Stratified analyses based on gender and age revealed specific SNP-glioma associations. Additionally, synergistic and redundant relationships between certain SNPs were identified. Overall, this study provides a basis for assessing glioma risk-associated variants in the Chinese Han population.

Summary: Neural tube defects (NTDs) are congenital abnormalities in the central nervous system. SNPs in the folate pathway genes MTHFR, MTRR, and RFC are highly associated with NTD risk, especially in the Asian population. Further high-quality research from diverse ethnicities is needed to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the role of folate metabolism in NTDs.

Summary: This systematic review assessed the potential influence of medication-induced salivary changes on the development of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). The results showed that decreased salivary flow and changes in salivary protein concentration were associated with the occurrence of MRONJ. However, due to limited evidence, these findings should be interpreted with caution.

Summary: The meta-analysis demonstrates a significant association between the RET polymorphisms rs2435357 and rs2506030 and susceptibility to Hirschsprung disease. The rs2435357 polymorphism (T > C) is identified as a causal locus, while the rs2506030 polymorphism (A > G) is a protective locus.

Summary: Recent meta-analysis suggested that IL-6 gene polymorphisms may not be associated with the risk of skin cancer, indicating that they might not affect susceptibility to skin cancer. The analysis did not find significant relationships between IL-6 174G/C and 597G/A polymorphisms and skin cancer.

Summary: Network meta-analysis identified that the gene polymorphisms, including FokI rs2228570, ERCC2 rs13181, MMP1 rs475007, and ERCC2 rs238406, were closely associated with the risk of skin cancer.

Summary: Medication-related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) is a significant complication of antiresorptive medications used in the management of bone diseases. Studies have shown that these medications may affect immune system components, particularly macrophages, and their involvement in the pathogenesis of MRONJ. Understanding the role of macrophages in MRONJ pathophysiology could lead to new insights for disease prevention and control.

Summary: This systematic review and network meta-analysis aimed to determine the association between SNPs and OC risk. Fok1 rs2228570 was found to be closely linked to OC risk, and the dominant gene model was determined to be the most appropriate model for estimating OC susceptibility.

Summary: This study aimed to quantify the association of CYP2B6 variant alleles and genotype-defined metabolizer phenotypes with bupropion and HB exposure. The results showed that the CYP2B6*6 allele and genotype-defined CYP2B6 poor and intermediate metabolizer phenotypes are associated with significantly lower exposures to HB and the total active moiety.
