IGFBP-3 A-202C and C2133G polymorphisms and colorectal cancer risk: a meta-analysis of case-control studies

J. Xu, Xu, L., Li, L. T., You, Q., and Cha, L. S., “IGFBP-3 A-202C and C2133G polymorphisms and colorectal cancer risk: a meta-analysis of case-control studies”, vol. 14, pp. 3370-3386, 2015.

Recent evidence suggests that genetic variations in the IGFBP-3 gene may impact susceptibility to colorectal cancer, but individually published results are inconclusive. Our meta-analysis was aimed at providing a more precise estimation of these associations. An extensive literature search was conducted for appropriate articles published before May 1, 2013. This meta-analysis was performed using the STATA 12.0 software. The crude odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated.

Association between the EGF rs4444903 polymorphism and liver cancer susceptibility: a meta-analysis and meta-regression

Y. L. Li, Tian, Z., Zhao, L., and Zhang, C. L., “Association between the EGF rs4444903 polymorphism and liver cancer susceptibility: a meta-analysis and meta-regression”, vol. 13, pp. 8066-8079, 2014.

Emerging evidence suggests that a common functional polymorphism, rs4444903 (A>G), in the EGF gene might impact an individual’s susceptibility to liver cancer; however, individually published results are inconclusive. This meta-analysis aimed to derive a more precise estimation of the relationship between the EGF rs4444903 polymorphism and liver cancer risk. A literature search was conducted in the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and CBM databases from inception through May 1st, 2013.
