Association between 1p11-rs11249433 polymorphism and breast cancer susceptibility: evidence from 15 case-control studies.

ABSTRACT: Genome-wide association studies have identified SNP rs11249433 at chromosome 1p11 as a new breast cancer (BC) susceptibility locus in populations of European descent. Since then, the relationship between 1p11- rs11249433 and breast cancer has been reported in various ethnic groups; however, these studies have yielded inconsistent results. To investigate this inconsistency, we performed a meta-analysis of 15 studies involving a total of 90,154 cases and 137,238 controls for 1p11-rs11249433 polymorphism to evaluate its effect on genetic susceptibility for breast cancer. An overall random effects odds ratio of 1.09 (95% CI: 1.06-1.12, P<10(-5)) was found for rs11249433-G variant. Significant results were also observed for heterozygous (OR=1.09, 95% CI: 1.05-1.12, P<10(-5)) and homozygote (OR=
