Abstract:
In this meta-analysis, we investigated the association of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, vitamin D receptor, and interleukin-16 gene polymorphisms with the risk of renal cell carcinoma. We searched the PubMed and Cochrane Library databases up to July 1, 2017, and included 12 eligible case-control studies in our analysis. The vitamin D receptor ApaI A allele, ApaI AA and aa genotypes, BsmI B allele, and Fok1 FF genotype were all associated with the risk of renal cell carcinoma in Asian populations. However, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (rs1801133 and rs1801131), vitamin D receptor (TaqI and Fok1), and interleukin-16 (rs4778889 and rs11556218) gene polymorphisms were not associated with the risk of renal cell carcinoma. Our study indicates that the vitamin D receptor ApaI A allele, ApaI AA and aa genotypes, BsmI B allele, and Fok1 FF genotype are associated with renal cell carcinoma risk.
