Association of methionine synthase rs1801394 and methionine synthase reductase rs1805087 polymorphisms with meningioma in adults: A meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Several epidemiological studies suggested that methionine synthase (MTRR) rs1801394 and methionine synthase reductase (MTR) rs1805087 polymorphisms may be involved in the risk of meningioma in adults; however, the results from different case-control studies have been inconsistent. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to investigate the association of MTRR and MTR polymorphisms with meningioma. PubMed, Web of Knowledge, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang databases were searched up to October 30, 2013 and 3 publications, involving 7 case-control studies, were finally included. Following data extraction, a meta-analysis was conducted using Stata 12.0 software. The pooled results based on the fixed effects model demonstrated that the MTRR rs1801394 polymorphism was associat
