Objective:
The estrogen receptor (ER) and the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) each play an important role in female cancers. This study aimed to investigate the genetic association between three common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the risk of ovarian cancer. The SNPs investigated in this study were ESR2 rs1271572 and rs3020450 and HER2 rs1801200.
Methods:
In this study, databases were electronically searched in a meta-analysis. Databases used were PubMed, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang and Cochrane library. Case-control studies on the association between ESR2 and HER2 polymorphisms were selected according to inclusion and exclusion standard. Articles were evaluated for quality, and data were extracted.
Results:
A total of 13 articles with 5,461 cases and 7,603 controls were included in this meta-analysis. The recessive model of ESR2 rs1271572 was shown to be significantly associated with the risk of ovarian cancer (p = 0.008, odds ratio [OR] [95% confidence interval {CI}] = 1.13 [1.03, 1.24]), and this significant association still existed in a subgroup analysis stratified by ethnicity (Asian: p = 0.04, OR [95% CI] = 1.92 [1.04, 3.56]; Caucasian: p = 0.02, OR [95% CI] = 1.12 [1.02, 1.23]). In addition, the distribution of the dominant model of ESR2 rs3020450 was significantly different in the total group (p = 0.02, OR [95% CI] = 0.71 [0.53, 0.95]) and the Caucasian subgroup (p = 0.02, OR [95% CI] = 0.67 [0.48, 0.94]). Furthermore, no significant association between allelic, dominant, codominant and recessive models of HER2 rs1801200 (V655I) and ovarian cancer was found (p > 0.05).
Conclusion:
The recessive model of ESR2 rs1271572 and the dominant model of ESR2 rs3020450 might be susceptible factors for ovarian cancer.
