Association of miR-608 rs4919510 polymorphism and cancer risk: a meta-analysis based on 13,664 subjects.
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the mechanism of carcinogenesis. Several studies have evaluated the association of rs4919510 SNP in miR-608 with cancer susceptibility in different types of cancer, with inconclusive outcomes. To obtain a more precise estimation, we carried out this meta-analysis through systematic retrieval from the PubMed and Embase database. A total of 10 case-control studies were analyzed with 6,000 cases and 7,664 controls. The results showed that 4919510 SNP in miR-608 was significantly associated with decreased cancer risk only in recessive model (CC vs. GG+GC: OR=0.89, 95% CI: 0.82-0.97, P=0.009). By further stratified analysis, we found that rs4919510 SNP had some relationship with decreased cancer risk in both homozygote model (CC vs. GG: OR=0.59, 95% CI: 0.36-0.96, P=0.034) and dominant model (CG+ CC vs. GG: OR=0.60, 95% CI: 0.37-0.98, P=0.042) in Caucasians but no relationship in any genetic model in Asians. These results indicated that miR-608 rs4919510 polymorphism may contribute to the decreased cancer susceptibility and could be a promising target to forecast cancer risk for clinical practice. However, to further confirm these results, well-designed large scale case-control studies are needed in the future.
