Single nucleotide polymorphisms in ZNRD1-AS1 increase cancer risk in an Asian population.

ABSTRACT: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in human zinc ribbon domain containing 1 antisense RNA 1 (ZNRD1-AS1) have been associated with cancer development. In this meta-analysis, we more precisely estimated the associations between three expression quantitative trait loci SNPs in ZNRD1-AS1 (rs3757328, rs6940552, and rs9261204) and cancer susceptibility. The data for three SNPs were extracted from eligible studies, which included 5,293 patients and 5,440 controls. Overall, no significant associations between SNPs in ZNRD1-AS1 (rs3757328, rs6940552, and rs9261204) and cancer risk were observed. However, in further subgroup analyses based on cancer type, we found that the A allele of rs3757328 increased the risk of some cancer in both allele contrast (OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.05 - 1.25) and recess
