Associations of IL-17A -197G/A and IL-17F 7488T/C polymorphisms with cancer risk in asians: An updated meta-analysis from 43 studies
2021
Abstract Objective Numerous epidemiological studies have been published to elucidate the potential associations of IL-17A -197G/A (rs2275913) and IL-17F 7488T/C (rs763780) with cancer risk in Asians. Nevertheless, the results from different studies remain controversial. To identify the roles of the two polymorphisms in cancer risk, we performed this current meta-analysis. Methods The available literature was derived from five databases, covering relevant articles updated through February 17, 2021. Five different analysis models with corresponding odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were applied to appraise the gene-disease correlation. Results In total, 43 case-control studies with 31,237 subjects were enrolled. Overall analyses indicated that there was significantly increased cancer risk led by IL-17A -197G/A under the five analysis models. A similar tendency was also identified in the subgroup analysis of cancer type, especially for gastric cancer, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, and oral carcinoma. As for IL-17F 7488T/C, we revealed that patients who carried this variant had a higher cancer risk in the recessive model among the overall analyses, as well as subgroup analyses of cervical cancer or oral carcinoma. Conclusions In summary, our work confirmed that IL-17A -197G/A acted as a risk factor for diverse cancer types and that IL-17F 7488T/C might be involved in cervical cancer and oral carcinoma.
