title: CYP1A1 exon7 polymorphism is associated with lung cancer risk among the female population and among smokers: a meta-analysis.
abstract: The genetic polymorphism of the CYP1A1 exon7 (rs1048943) gene is thought to have a significant effect on lung cancer risk, but the results are inconsistent. To assess this relationship more precisely, a meta-analysis was performed. Ultimately, 45 case-control studies, involving 19,689 subjects were included. A significantly increased lung cancer risk was associated with two exon7 genotype variants (for Val/Val vs Ile/Ile: odds ratio [OR] = 1.23, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.10-1.43; for (Ile/Val + Val/Val) vs Ile/Ile: OR = 1.16, 95% CI = 1.08-1.24) in the overall population. In the stratified analysis by ethnicity, gender, and smoking status, a significant association was found in Asians, Caucasians, and the female population, not the male population. Additionally, a significant association was found in the smoker population, not in the nonsmoker population. This meta-analysis suggests that the exon7 polymorphisms of CYP1A1 correlate with increased lung cancer susceptibility and there is an interaction between CYP1A1 exon7 polymorphisms and smoking, but these associations vary in different genders of the case and control populations.
