Abstract
BACKGROUND: Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs16892766 in the 8q23.3 region and rs6983267, rs10505477, rs7014346 and rs7837328 in the 8q24.21 region, have been identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and a number of case-control studies to be closely associated with risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). In the present study, a meta-analysis was performed to confirm if these loci are risk factors for susceptibility to CRC, taking heterogeneity of population into consideration. METHODS: The whole literature search was conducted via database of MEDLINE and Embase, through which 33 articles with 49 studies (141,899 cases and 157,536 controls) were finally included in this meta-analysis to evaluate the association between the 5 polymorphisms and risk of CRC under allelic model. RESULTS: A meta-analysis of the pooled data showed that the G allele of rs6983267, the A allele of rs7014346, the T allele of rs10505477, the C allele of rs16892766 and the A allele of rs7837328 were associated with significantly increased risk of CRC under allelic model. Additionally, subgroup analyses of four SNPs (rs7837328 excluded) by ethnicity witnessed a notable association between the G allele of rs6983267 and increased risk of CRC among Caucasians, Asians and Africans. Furthermore, the C allele of rs16892766 was strongly linked with elevated risk of CRC among Caucasians and Africans. However, the A allele of rs7014346 and T allele of rs10505477 only heightened risk for CRC among Caucasians and showed no effects among Asians. CONCLUSION: In summary, rs6983267 is a risk factor for CRC among Caucasians, Asians and Africans; rs7014346 and rs10505477 are risky genetic polymorphisms only among Caucasians; rs16892766 is a hazardous element among populations with Caucasian and African ancestry; and rs7837328 could elevate the susceptibility to CRC in a multinational group. However, more potential factors related with CRC risk should be investigated in further studies.
