Lack of Association of the Fat Mass and Obesity Associated (FTO) Gene rs9939609 Polymorphism with Breast Cancer Risk: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Based on Case - Control Studies

TLDR
This is the first meta-analysis of the FTO rs9939609 polymorphism and risk of breast cancer and suggested that only there might be a significant association of the CXCL12 rs1801157 polymorphisms with breast cancer risk.
Abstract
Background: Previously published data on any association of the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene with breast cancer risk remain inconclusive Therefore, we conducted the present meta-analysis of links between breast cancer and the FTO rs9939609 polymorphism Methods: We have conducted a systematic review of the English literature by searching PubMed, Google Scholar and ISI Web of Knowledge databases for studies on associations between the FTO rs9939609 polymorphism and breast cancer risk Crude odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to estimate the strength of the association using fixed- or random-effects model Results: We included five studies with 1134 cases and 1453 controls Overall, no significant association between the FTO rs9939609 polymorphism and risk of breast cancer was found On subgroup analysis by ethnicity, there was still no significant association detected Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first meta-analysis of the FTO rs9939609 polymorphism and risk of breast cancer However, the present meta-analysis suggested that only there might be a significant association of the CXCL12 rs1801157 polymorphisms with breast cancer risk

m6A demethylase FTO facilitates tumor progression in lung squamous cell carcinoma by regulating MZF1 expression.

TL;DR: It is shown that FTO, but not other m6A modification genes including METTL3, METTL14 and ALKBH5, was the major dysregulated factor responsible for aberrant m 6A modification in LUSC.

The Potential Role of N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) Demethylase Fat Mass and Obesity-Associated Gene (FTO) in Human Cancers.

TL;DR: It was found that FTO single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were closely related with cancer risk and had great potential for clinical application by serving as a prognostic biomarker.

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Insertion/Deletion Polymorphism is Associated with Breast Cancer Risk: A Meta-Analysis

TL;DR: It is suggested that ACE I/D polymorphism may be associated with increased risk of breast cancer, especially among Asian and Caucasians, however, well-designed studies with larger sample size and more ethnic groups are needed to further validate the results.

Association of IL-10 rs1800871 and rs1800872 Polymorphisms with Breast Cancer Risk: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

TL;DR: The results are inconsistent with previous meta-analysis suggests that IL-10rs1800871 and rs1800872 polymorphisms might contribute to BC susceptibility in overall population, but not by ethnicity.

Measuring inconsistency in meta-analyses

TL;DR: A new quantity is developed, I 2, which the authors believe gives a better measure of the consistency between trials in a meta-analysis, which is susceptible to the number of trials included in the meta- analysis.

Overweight, obesity, and mortality from cancer in a prospectively studied cohort of U.S. adults.

TL;DR: Current patterns of overweight and obesity in the United States could account for 14 percent of all deaths from cancer in men and 20 percent of those in women, and increased body weight was associated with increased death rates for all cancers combined and for cancers at multiple specific sites.

TL;DR: Breast cancer rates vary largely by race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status (SES), and geographic region, and death rates are higher in African American women than in whites, despite their lower incidence rates.
