Polymorphisms in GSTM1 and GSTT1 may be associated with asthma risk, yet several studies and meta‐analyses have reported inconclusive results. Therefore, an updated meta‐analysis was conducted. Literature searches were performed using the Pubmed, Embase and Web of Science databases until October 2012. Variant ‘null’ genotype was compared with wild‐type ‘present’ in the pooled data. All statistical...
BACKGROUND:Obesity is associated with circulating levels of adiponectin and leptin and endometrial cancer risk. Little is known about whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes that encode adiponectin (ADIPOQ), leptin (LEP), adiponectin receptor 1 (ADIPOR1), adiponectin receptor 2 (ADIPOR2), and leptin receptor (LEPR) are associated with endometrial cancer.
METHODS:The authors selected...
Objective Epigenetic changes in gene expression, including DNA methylation and histone modifications, might contribute to autoimmunity. DNA methylation is mediated by a family of DNA methyltransferases. Polymorphisms of the DNA methyltransferase 3B (DNMT3B) gene may influence DNMT3B activity on DNA methylation, thereby modulating the susceptibility to some diseases. The purpose of this study was to...
