Description
Abstract
Background. The single nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) of Interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene
have been linked with the risk of oral carcinoma (OC) in
a relatively small sample size. Our study aims to
investigate the pooled associations by conducting a
meta-analysis of published studies.
Methods. PubMed, Web of Science and Google
Scholar databases were searched to identify eligible
studies published in English before October 2019. The
odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was
used to assess association. The publication bias was
detected by Begg's test. Sensitivity and cumulative
analyses were performed to evaluate the stability of
crude results.
Results. The meta-analysis involved eight studies.
Significant associations were certified between IL-10
gene -1082A/G polymorphism and susceptibility of OC
for A vs. G (OR=1.817, 95% CI: 1.481-2.230), AA vs.
GG (OR=3.436, 95% CI: 2.281-5.175), dominant
genetic model (OR=2.913, 95% CI: 1.939-4.376), and
recessive genetic model (OR=1.886, 95% CI: 1.372-
2.594) in overall population, East Asians and South
Asians. In addition, the significant association between -
592A/C polymorphism of the gene and susceptibility of
OC were detected in South Asians.
Conclusions. The meta-analysis results support that
the IL-10 gene -1082G allele is a risk factor for OC in
East Asians and South Asians, and IL-10 gene -592C
allele is a protective factor for the disease.
