p53 codon 72 polymorphism and breast cancer risk: A meta-analysis

Abstract: p53 is a tumor suppressor gene and plays important roles in the etiology of breast cancer. Studies have produced conflicting results concerning the role of p53 codon 72 polymorphism (G>C) on the risk of breast cancer; therefore, a meta-analysis was performed to estimate the association between the p53 codon 72 polymorphism and breast cancer. Screening of the PubMed database was conducted to identify relevant studies. Studies containing available genotype frequencies of the p53 codon 72 polymorphism were select… Show more

“…In this metaanalysis, we found that the Pro allele of p53 gene was associated with risk of breast cancer risk for Europeans and Africans when compared to Arg allele. This finding is consistent in part with a previous meta-analysis which investigated breast cancer risk in 41 cases unmatched control studies [50], but discordant with the finding reported by Hou et al 2013 [51], Zhuo et al [52] and Hao et al [53]. The difference between these results can be explained by the presence of heterogeneity between studies, and the mixture studies with age-matched and/or unmatched controls in their analysis.…”

“…Arg/Pro genotype has no effect on the risk of breast cancer which is in line with the results of many domestic studies, such as Doosti et al27 and foreign researches of Hou et al33…”

“…Although in the present study, there was no association between this polymorphism, and early‐onset breast cancer risk, associations have been reported in specific populations [Hu et al., ]. Meta‐analyses have demonstrated that this variant is not linked to breast cancer risk; however, these studies have been met with criticism [He et al., ; Ma et al., ; Hou et al., ].…”
