Associations between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase polymorphisms and hepatocellular carcinoma risk: An update meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To evaluate the associations between the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis.

Methods

PubMed, Embase, the Google Scholar, Wan fang database, VIP database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure were extensively searched before April 2021. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were calculated. Review Manager Version 5.3, STATA version 12.0 and TSA 0.9.5.10 Beta software were used.

Results

Nineteen studies with 6941 HCC patients and 9436 controls were finally included. The MTHFR rs1801133 (C677T) SNP was associated with increased HCC risk under heterozygote genetic model (OR = 1.10, 95% CI = [1.01, 1.20]). For Subgr
