Background: The aim of this study was to investigate associations between polymorphisms in the Lysyl oxidase (LOX) gene with susceptibility to cancer. The role of LOX in carcinogenesis prompted several association studies in various cancer types; however the outcomes of these studies have inconsistent. Thus, we performed a meta-analysis to obtain more precise estimates.

赖氨酰氧化酶多态性对癌症风险的影响：更新的 Meta 分析

背景：本研究的目的是研究赖氨酰氧化酶( LOX ) 基因多态性与癌症易感性之间的关联。LOX在致癌作用中的作用促使对各种癌症类型进行了多项关联研究；然而，这些研究的结果并不一致。因此，我们进行了荟萃分析以获得更精确的估计。
