Background/Objective:
It has been reported that Krüppel like factor 6 intervening sequence (KLF6 IVS) 1-27 G > A might be associated with cancer susceptibility. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis to summarize and clarify this association.
Materials And Methods/Main Results:
A systematic search of studies on the association between KLF6 IVS 1-27 G > A, and cancer susceptibility was conducted in databases. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were used to pool the effect size. Seven articles were included in our meta-analysis. Overall and in prostate cancer, population-based subgroup overall and Caucasian subgroup overall, no evidence was found for the association between KLF6 IVS 1-27 G > A polymorphism and cancer susceptibility in any genetic model and the results showed stability in sensitivity analyses.
Conclusions:
KLF6 IVS 1-27 G > A may not be associated with cancer susceptibility, especially the susceptibility of unselected prostate cancer. However, there was insufficient data to fully confirm the association between KLF6 IVS 1-27 G > A and familial prostate cancer, sporadic prostate cancer, gastric cancer, and cancers from different ethnicity, and the results should be interpreted with caution.

The transcription elongation is regulated via pausing of RNA polymerase on several occasions during transcription. In bacteria, these halts are necessary because the transcription of DNA into mRNA is coupled to the translation of that mRNA...
