Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variants in the folate pathway and the risk of neural tube defects: a meta-analysis of the published literature

TL;DR: A meta-analysis strongly suggested a significant association of the variant MTHFR C677T and a suggestive association of RFC-1 A80G with increased risk of NTDs, and other variants involved in folate pathway do not demonstrate any evidence for a significant marginal association on susceptibility to N TDs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-linear dose-response relationship between cigarette smoking and pancreatic cancer risk: evidence from a meta-analysis of 42 observational studies.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis reveals a non-linear dose-response association between cigarette smoking and pancreatic cancer risk, but it might differ between sexes, as well as for smoking duration and cumulative amount of cigarettes smoked.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence and associated risk factors of dyslexic children in a middle-sized city of China: a cross-sectional study.

TL;DR: The prevalence of dyslexia was 3.9% in Qianjiang city, which is a middle-sized city in China and the potential risk factors were revealed, which will have a great impact on detecting and treating dyslexic children in China as early as possible.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variations in TERT-CLPTM1L locus are associated with risk of lung cancer in Chinese population.

TL;DR: Findings indicated that the function‐validated and potentially functional variations in TERT‐CLPTM1L locus, modified by smoking, may play a substantial role in the susceptibility to lung cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

The SLC4A7 variant rs4973768 is associated with breast cancer risk: evidence from a case–control study and a meta-analysis

TL;DR: A hospital-based case–control study, combined with a meta-analysis, showed that the SLC4A7 variant, rs4973768, is associated with risk of BC although the underlying biologic mechanism warrants further studies.
