BAT3 rs1052486 and rs3117582 polymorphisms are associated with lung cancer risk: a meta-analysis.

Several studies have examined the associations of polymorphisms in HLA-B-associated transcript 3 (BAT3) with lung cancer risk. However, the results were conflicting. Thus, a meta-analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between BAT3 polymorphisms and lung cancer risk. Databases including PubMed, EMBASE, and Wanfang were searched. Summary odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using random effects models or fixed effects models. Nine studies were included in this meta-analysis. BAT3 rs1052486 was associated with a significantly increased lung cancer risk (OR = 1.06, 95 % CI 1.01-1.12, P = 0.03). This polymorphism was also significantly associated with lung cancer risk in Caucasians (OR = 1.07; 95 % CI, 1.01-1.12; P = 0.02). Furthermore, BAT3 rs3117582 increased lung cancer risk (OR = 1.31, 95 % CI, 1.26-1.35, P < 0.00001). This polymorphism was also significantly associated with squamous carcinoma risk (OR = 1.30; 95 % CI, 1.11-1.52; P = 0.001) and lung cancer risk in smokers (OR = 1.23; 95 % CI, 1.10-1.38; P = 0.0005). This meta-analysis suggested that BAT3 polymorphisms contributed the development of lung cancer.
