Summary: The EPHX1 rs1051740 and GSTP1 rs1695 gene polymorphisms may increase the risk of COPD in Asians and Caucasians, while the EPHX1 rs2234922 gene polymorphism may protect Asians against COPD. The GSTP1 rs1138272 gene polymorphism may increase the risk of COPD, especially among Caucasians.

Summary: Based on a comprehensive analysis of a large number of studies, this meta-analysis found no significant association between TP53 codons 72, IVS3 16 bp, and IVS6+62A > G polymorphisms and breast cancer risk. The previous results suggesting an association may be false-positive results due to confounding factors.

Summary: This meta-analysis investigated the association between two ESR2 gene polymorphisms (rs1256049 and rs4986938) and cancer susceptibility. The researchers conducted an extensive literature search and analyzed data from 10 articles that included a total of 18,064 cases and 19,556 controls. The study found that the rs1256049 polymorphism of ESR2 is associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer in Caucasians and a decreased risk in Asians, while rs4986938 is not associated with prostate cancer risk.

Summary: The meta-analysis revealed a significant association between SNPs rs2295080, rs17036508, and rs1034528 in the mTOR gene and cancer risk, while target genetic polymorphisms in the mLST8 gene or RPTOR gene may not be associated with cancer risk. Further large-scale and well-designed studies in different ethnic populations are needed to confirm or strengthen these findings.

Summary: This meta-analysis suggests a significant association between ERCC1 rs11615, ERCC1 rs3212986, ERCC2 rs1799793, and ERCC5 rs17655 and CRC susceptibility. However, larger and well-designed studies are needed to confirm these results due to the limited sample size and influence of genetic background.

Summary: This meta-analysis revealed significant associations between XPD gene polymorphisms rs13181 and rs1799793 with hepatocellular carcinoma risk, particularly in the Chinese population. However, the variants of these genes were not found to be related to gastric cancer risk.

Summary: The meta-analysis investigated the association between OPG gene polymorphisms and osteoporosis risk, finding a significant correlation in certain subgroups but overall pointing to false-positive results. This suggests that previous studies may not have accurately assessed the true association between OPG gene variants and osteoporosis risk.

Summary: This study investigated the association between GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes and the risk of cervical or ovarian cancer. The overall analysis showed that GSTM1 null genotype was associated with increased risk of cervical cancer, while GSTT1 null genotype was not significantly associated with cervical cancer. For ovarian cancer, GSTM1 null genotype was associated with increased risk in East Asia, and GSTT1 null genotype was associated with increased risk in South America. However, the confidence of these associations was low.

Summary: This study identified a significant correlation between EPHX1 gene polymorphisms (rs1051740 T > C and rs2234922 A > G) and plasma concentration of CBZ, with varying impact among different ethnic groups. The findings highlight the importance of considering genetic variants in EPHX1 when assessing interindividual variability in plasma CBZ concentration in clinical settings and future studies.

Summary: This meta-analysis investigated the association between vitamin D receptor polymorphisms and cancer risk, revealing that Fok1, Bsm1, Cdx2, Apa1, and Taq1 are linked to susceptibility for various cancers. Ethnicity plays a role in modifying cancer risk, especially for hormone dependent cancers. Variations in minor allele frequency may partially explain differences observed in colorectal, ovarian, and prostate cancer among different ethnic populations.

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: Several studies have reported significant associations between certain SNPs of the IL-6 gene and various cancer risks, while others found no significant correlation. This study conducted a multi-case statistical meta-analysis to further investigate this association and confirmed that IL-6 gene SNPs are linked to increased cancer risks in humans. The results suggest that these IL-6 gene polymorphisms have potential as low-cost prognostic biomarkers for different types of cancers diagnosis and research.
