The Common Variant rs4444235 near BMP4 Confers Genetic Susceptibility of Colorectal Cancer: An Updated Meta-Analysis Based on a Comprehensive Statistical Strategy

Abstract: ObjectiveWe performed an updated meta-analysis, using a comprehensive strategy of a logistic regression and a model-free approach, to evaluate more precisely the role of the rs4444235 variant near the Bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP4) gene in susceptibility to colorectal cancer (CRC).MethodsA total of 19 studies with 28770 cases and 28234 controls were included. Metagen system with logistic regression was applied to choose the most plausible genetic model for rs4444235. Generalized odds ratio (ORG) metric wa… Show more

“…The SNP rs4444235, which is located 9.4 kb upstream of the gene encoding bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4), was previously associated with CRC and gastric cancer risk [22,23] . Although the CT genotype showed a protective effect against gastric cancer [23] , it was also associated with an increased CRC risk [24] . This SNP has been proposed to act as a cis-regulator of BMP4 and thus confer a risk for CRC [25,26] .…”
