Association of CASP8 polymorphisms and cancer susceptibility: A meta-analysis.

Caspase-8 plays is an essential enzyme in apoptosis pathway. Several investigation have been done to identify the relation between CASP8 polymorphisms and different human cancers, but, the findings are still debated. The aim of the current investigation is to assess if CASP8 rs3834129 (-652 6N insertion/deletion), rs1045485 G > C, rs3769818 G > A, rs6723097 A > C, rs3769821 T > C, rs13113 T > A, rs3769825 G > A, rs2293554 A > C, and rs10931936 C > T polymorphisms are linked to susceptibility of cancer. Our team has extracted the eligible studies up to July 4, 2019, from different sources. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated to quantitatively evaluate the association between CASP8 polymorphisms and cancer susceptibility. Our results showed that the rs3834129 and rs1045485 polymorphisms meaningfully reduced the risk of cancer, while the rs3769818, rs3769821 and rs3769825 polymorphisms considerably increased cancer susceptibility. No association of rs6723097, rs13113, rs2293554 and rs10931936 polymorphisms was observed with cancer susceptibility. The CASP8 rs3834129 polymorphism reduced the risk of gastrointestinal, digestive tract, colorectal, breast and lung cancers. Furthermore, the cancer risk was decreased in Asian and Caucasian populations as well as population- and hospital-based studies due to this polymorphism. There was not any relation between this gene polymorphism and the risk of prostate and cervical cancer development. Regarding the CASP8 rs1045485 polymorphism, the reduced breast cancer risk along with the risk of cancer in Caucasians, population- and hospital-based studies were observed.
