ESR1 PvuII (rs2234693 T>C) polymorphism and cancer susceptibility: Evidence from 80 studies.

ABSTRACT: Emerging epidemiological researches have been performed to assess the association of ESR1 PvuII (rs2234693 T>C) polymorphism with the risk of cancer, yet with conflicting conclusions. Therefore, this updated meta-analysis was performed to make a more accurate evaluation of such relationship. We adopted EMBASE, PubMed, CNKI, and WANFANG database to search relevant literature before January 2018. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were employed to estimate the relationship strengths. In final, 80 studies (69 publications) involving 26428 cases and 43381 controls were enrolled. Our results failed to provide significant association between overall cancer risk and PvuII polymorphism under homozygous (TT vs. CC) and heterozygous (TT vs. CT) models.
