Abstract

Epidemiological studies have been conducted to evaluate genetic variations of murine double minute 2 (MDM2) SNP309 associated with the risk of gastric cancer (GC), although evidence remains conflicting. To gain a better understanding of this relationship, a meta‑analysis was performed. Several electronic databases were searched up to February 2013, in order to identify relevant case‑control studies. Seven published case‑control studies with 2,199 cases and 3,201 controls were included. In the overall analysis, significant associations between the MDM2 SNP309 variant and GC risk were found for G vs. T alleles (OR=1.35; 95% CI, 1.24‑1.47), GG vs. TT (OR=1.88; 95% CI, 1.59‑2.24), recessive model (OR=1.71; 95% CI, 1.49‑1.96). Furthermore, stratified by cancer site, significant associations were observed in gastric cardia cancer for all the models, although no significant association was found in any of the models among non‑gastric cardia cancer, with the exception of the recessive model. In the subgroup analysis by source of control, MDM2 SNP309 was associated with increased GC risk for the hospital‑based case‑control (HCC) study for the GG vs. TT, recessive model and for the population‑based case‑control (PCC) study for the GG vs. TT, recessive model. Following stratification by gender and infection status of Helicobacter pylori (HP) for the recessive model, a significant association was found only in the HP‑positive infected individuals. However, no statistically significant association was observed in males, females or the HP‑negative infected individuals. In summary, the association between MDM2 SNP309 and GC risk was statistically significant, particularly in gastric cardia cancer for the HP‑positive population group.
