Background: Research on the polymorphism of breast cancer (BC) helps to search the BC susceptibility gene for mass screening, early diagnosis, and gene therapy, which has become a hotspot in BC research field. Previous studies have suggested associations between rs11200014, rs2981579, and rs1219648 polymorphisms and cancer risk. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between rs11200014, rs2981579, and rs1219648 polymorphism and BC risk.
Methods: PubMed, Web of science, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched before October 11, 2015, to identify relevant studies. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to estimate the strength of associations. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses were conducted. All included cases should have been diagnosed by a pathological examination.
Results: Twenty-six studies published from 2007 to 2015 were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled results showed that there was a significant association between all the 3 variants and BC risk in any genetic model. When stratified by Source of controls, the results showed the same association between rs2981579 polymorphism and BC susceptibility in hospital-based (HB) group, although there was not any genetic model attained statistical correlation in population-based (PB) group. Subgroup analysis was performed on rs1219648 by ethnicity and Source of controls, and the effects remained in Asians, Caucasians, HB, and PB groups.
Conclusion: This meta-analysis of case-control studies provides strong evidence that fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGFR2; rs11200014, rs2981579, and rs1219648) polymorphisms are significantly associated with the BC risk. For rs2981579, the association remained in hospital populations, while not in general populations. For rs1219648, the association remained in Asians, Caucasians, hospital populations, and general populations. However, further large-scale multicenter epidemiological studies are warranted to confirm this finding and the molecular mechanism for the associations need to be elucidated in future studies.
