Polymorphism of DNA methyltransferase 3B −149C/T and cancer risk: a meta-analysis

Abstract: Published data on the association between DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) 3B −149C/T polymorphism and cancer risk remain inconclusive. To derive a more precise estimation for this association, we performed a meta-analysis of 5,903 cancer cases and 8,132 controls from 22 published case–control studies. We used odds ratios (ORs) with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the strength of the association. Our meta-analysis suggested that DNMT3B −149C/T polymorphism was associated with the risk of head and neck ca… Show more

“…Previous meta-analysis studies primarily evaluated associations between a few SNPs and cancers without classification, such as GC (Zhu et al, 2015, Duan et al, 2015, Liu et al, 2015, Zhang et al, 2015, Xia et al, 2015). The major strengths of our study was its comprehensive and systematic focus on GC and SNPs from three main types of DNMTs , 17 SNPs in total.…”

“…There is considerable evidence that a number of abnormal changes in single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of DNMTs ( DNMT1 , DNMT3A and DNMT3B ), which could cause DNA hypo-methylation or hyper-methylation (Gao et al, 2011, Fu et al, 2010, Harder et al, 2008, Zhao and Bu, 2012), are correlated to tumor occurrence or decrease (Luo et al, 2015, Chang et al, 2014, Mostowska et al, 2013, Kullmann et al, 2013, Sun et al, 2012, Xiang et al, 2010, Kanai et al, 2003) such as head and neck cancer, and colorectal cancer (Zhu et al, 2015, Duan et al, 2015). However, the associations between DNMTs SNPs and GC risk were still conflicting (Jiang et al, 2012a, Yang et al, 2012).…”

“…In the present study, we observed that DNMT3B T carrier genotypes (CT and TT) may offer a protective effect against AML development, while SLC19A1 G carrier genotypes (AG and GG) increased the risk of this malignancy. Although, the association of DNMT3B variants with cancer susceptibility has been reported in the literature , it remains unclear . To our best knowledge, only one report studied the association of DNMT3B gene with hematological neoplasias , finding that C allele could confer a protective effect against AML development in Chinese Han population.…”

“…Many studies have described the association of two common polymorphisms rs1569686 (-579G>T) and rs2424913 (-149C>T) on the promoter of DNMT3B which alter the promoter activity [138][139]. However, there is conflicting evidence on the contribution of these two SNPs in different cancers [140][141][142][143].…”
