Meta-analysis of studies on the association between the NF-κB1-94ins/del ATTG promoter polymorphism and cancer

Abstract: Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), a cell survival signal, is involved in carcinogenesis. Polymorphism of NF-κB1 is associated with cancer by several studies. This study aims to perform a comprehensive meta-analysis of studies and determine the association between the NF-κB1-94ins/del ATTG promoter polymorphism and cancer. Twenty-five case-control studies (7,281 cases and 10,039 controls) were included. We used odds ratios (ORs) to assess the strength of the association, and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) to ide… Show more

“…Consequently, -94 del allele carriers may be genetically with a higher inflammatory response. Interestingly, the results were contrary to the results of two previous meta-analyses 33 34 that no significant association was seen between NFKB1 -94 ins/del ATTG polymorphism and the risk of cancer in Caucasians. The contradictory results are interpreted by the following reasons: (1) the small sample was included in the previous two meta-analyses.…”

“… 33 and Nian et al . 34 reported that the -94 ins/del ATTG polymorphism was significantly associated with decreased cancer risk in Asian populations, but not in Caucasian populations. Unfortunately, the two previous meta-analyses included some studies, in which the genotype distributions of control groups were not consistent with Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (HWE).…”

“…Stratified analysis revealed that the polymorphism was associated with increased risk for oral squamous cell carcinoma and ovarian cancer, but not for colorectal cancer, bladder cancer, or renal cell cancer. In another meta-analysis involving 7,281 cases and 10,039 controls from 25 case-control studies, Nian et al [30] found that the -94ins/delATTG polymorphism was significantly associated with decreased susceptibility to cancer in overall population under homozygous, recessive, dominant, and allele contrast models. Subgroups analysis based on ethnicity revealed that the polymorphism conferred decreased cancer susceptibility in the Asian population.…”

“…The deletion of 4 bases (ATTG) reduces or prevents binding to nuclear proteins, and leads to lower transcript levels of the NF-κB1 gene, thereby changing mRNA stability and regulating translation efficiency. 20 Neither numerous case-control studies [23][24][25][26][27] nor several meta-analyses [28][29][30][31][32][33][34] have resolved the controversy of a potential association between the NF-κB1 -94 ins/del ATTG promoter polymorphism and cancer risk.…”
