Associated of rs895819 with risk of stomach neoplasms.

A recent study published in GENE performed a meta-analysis on the relationship between genetic variant rs895819 in microRNA-27a and risk of stomach neoplasms, and the results indicated an association of rs895819 with increased risk of stomach neoplasms in heterogenous model among Chinese. However, the meta-analysis did not include one large sample size of study that met inclusion criteria. When including all related studies, our meta-analysis showed no significant association of rs895819 with stomach neoplasms risk in each different model in all population, Chinese and Europeans. Thus, pooling all related studies did not provide evidence on the association of rs895819 with increased risk of stomach neoplasms.
