Abstract

Objectives

Meta-analysis was used to determine the association between rs3751143 polymorphism of P2RX7 gene and the risk of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

Methods

Search for published articles about the association between the rs3751143 and CLL in PubMed, MEDINE, Web of Science, and Embase databases, with a calculated odds ratio of (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI).

Results

A total of 1184 cases and 1725 controls in 8 studies were pooled together for evaluation of the overall association between rs3751143 and risk of CLL. Allele model (A vs C, p = 0.16, OR = 0.85, 95%CI = 0.71–1.17), homozygous model (AA vs CC, p = 0.07; OR = 0.78, 95%CI = 0.84–1.08), and heterozygous model (AC vs CC, p = 0.76; OR = 0.85; 95%CI = 0.68–0.79) did not show decreased risk of developing CLL. Similarly, dominant model (AA + AC vs. CC: p = 0.58; OR = 1.10, 95%CI = 0.69–1.75), and recessive model (AA vs AC + CC, p = 0.21, OR = 1.18, 95%CI = 0.70–1.99) failed to show decreased risk of developing CLL. However, in familial, heterozygous model (AC vs. CC: p = 0.0006, OR = 0.64, 95%CI = 0.67–1.50) and recessive model (AA vs. AC + CC: p = 0.0017; OR = 1.02, 95%CI = 0.73–2.35) indicated the association between the inheritance of rs3751143 and the risk of developing CLL. In the overall survival prognosis, no significant association between rs3751143 and CLL was detected with relatively high heterogeneity.

Conclusions

Our pooled data indicates that there is a correlation between the inheritance of rs3751143 and the risk of CLL in familial.
