PPARG c.1347C>T polymorphism is associated with cancer susceptibility: from a case-control study to a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Recently, several studies suggested that PPARG c.1347C>T polymorphism was correlated with cancer risk. However, past results remained controversial. In this study, we performed a case-control study on the relationship of PPARG c.1347C>T polymorphism with risk of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and subsequently carried out a meta-analysis to further assess the association between PPARG c.1347C>T and overall cancer. In our case-control study, after adjusting by age, sex, body mass index (BMI), smoking and drinking, a tendency to increased NSCLC risk was noted (CT/TT vs. CC: adjusted OR, 1.21; 95% CI, 0.97-1.51; P = 0.097). In the meta-analysis, we found a significant association between PPARG c.1347C>T polymorphism and overall cancer risk (T vs. C: OR, 1
