Programmed death-1 (PD-1) rs2227981 C > T polymorphism is associated with cancer susceptibility: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Several studies have focused on the correlation between the programmed death-1 (PD-1) rs2227981 C > T polymorphism and the risk of cancer; however, the results of such studies remain conflicting. To address this gap, we performed this meta-analysis to identify the potential association. Search strategies were performed in PubMed and EMBASE using appropriate terms. In total, 2,977 cancer cases and 2,642 controls from seven publications were recruited in our study. According to the seven eligible publications, the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) on the risk of cancer for the TT vs. CC and TT vs. CT+CC genotypes were 0.67 and 0.50-0.91 and 0.65 and 0.47-0.90, respectively. In a subgroup analysis by cancer type, PD-1 rs2227981 C > T polymorphism was associated with a signi
