Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the relationship between 5,10-Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase(MTHFR) gene polymorphisms and colorectal cancer(CRC).Methods Studies were selected based on the criteria for inclusion.The Meta-analysis software,REVMAN 4.2,was applied for checking the heterogeneity across the studies and calculating the pooled OR.The results were evaluated by the analyses of publication bias and sensitivity.Results A total of 9 787 cases and 12 986 controls from 18 studies for C677T and a total of 4 422 cases and 5 819 controls from 9 studies for A1 298C were included.No heterogeneity among the studies was found.For codon 677,the frequencies of CC,CT and TT genotypes were 46.48%,43.81% and 9.71% in cases,and 45.03%,43.08% and 11.89% in controls,respectively.The pooled OR of TT vs.CT+CC was 0.80(95%CI 0.74～0.87).For codon 1 298,the frequencies of AA,AC and CC genotypes were 53.60%,39.39% and 7.01% in cases,and 53.31%,38.67% and 8.03% in controls,respectively.The pooled OR of CC vs.AC+AA was 0.84(95%CI 0.72～0.97).Conclusions MTHFR 677TT is at lower risk of developing CRC and 1 298CC genotypes might be associated with the decreased risk of developing CRC.
