Abstract

Several studies have investigated the correlation between the peroxisome proliferator‑activated receptor γ2 (PPAR‑γ2) Pro12Ala (rs1801282) polymorphism and the risk of breast cancer, with inconsistent results. For this reason, a meta‑analysis was conducted to identify the potential correlation after pooling data from eligible case‑control studies. Search strategies were conducted in PubMed, EMBASE and the COCHRANE Library in English and from VIP, CNKI and Sinomed in Chinese (all the papers were published before November 11, 2012) using appropriate terms. A total of 2,279 cases and 2,360 controls from four related case‑control studies were included in this meta‑analysis. According to the three eligible populations, the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) on the risk of breast cancer for the CG versus CC and GG versus CC genotypes and the G versus C allele were 0.84 and 0.72‑0.98, 0.92 and 0.32‑2.61, and 0.98 and 0.84‑1.13, respectively. The OR and 95% CI for CG+GG versus CC from the four study populations were 0.85 and 0.73‑0.98, respectively. This meta‑analysis supported the fact that the G allele of PPAR‑γ2 Pro12Ala (rs1801282) modestly affects the risk of breast cancer. Nevertheless, further studies are required to enrich the evidence of this correlation.
