The IL-17A rs2275913 polymorphism is associated with colorectal cancer risk.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The association of the IL-17A rs2275913 polymorphism with the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) has been previously reported. However, the results are inconsistent. In this study, we comprehensively assessed the effect of the rs2275913 polymorphism on CRC risk.

Methods

The rs2275913 polymorphism of 208 CRC patients and 312 age- and gender-matched healthy controls was genotyped by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method, and then analyzed by logistic regression. In addition, a pooled analysis based on five single-center studies was performed using Stata 12.0 software.

Results

Logistic regression analysis indicated that the IL-17A rs2275913 polymorphism was associated with CRC risk (GA vs. GG: OR = 1.53, 95% CI
