Single nucleotide polymorphisms of PIN1 promoter region and cancer risk: evidence from a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Peptidylprolyl cis/trans isomerase NIMA-interacting 1 (PIN1) is involved in the process of tumorigenesis. The two single nucleotide polymorphisms (-677T>C, -842G>C) in the PIN1 promoter region have been suspected of being associated with cancer risk for years, but the conclusion is still inconclusive.

Methods

Eligible case-control studies were retrieved by searching databases and references of related reviews and studies. Genotype distribution data, adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence (CIs) intervals were extracted to calculate pooled ORs.

Results

A total of 4619 cancer cases and 4661 controls were included in this meta-analysis. Overall, the PIN1 -667T>C polymorphism was not associated with cancer risk, while the -842C allele was significantly as
