The hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism and esophageal cancer risk: a meta-analysis of 1,875 cancer cases and 3,041 controls.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recently, there have been several studies that have looked at the association between hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism and esophageal cancer (EC) risk. However, the results of previous reports remain controversial and ambiguous. Thus, we performed a meta-analysis to explore more precisely the association between hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism and the risk of EC.

Methods

A meta-analysis was performed to examine the association between hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism and EC risk. Odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were used for statistical analysis.

Results

Our publication search identified a total of 9 studies with 1,875 cases and 3,041 controls. There was no significant associations in all genetic models between hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism and EC
