| Abstract |
Published studies on the relationships between 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) polymorphisms and lung cancer risk have been conflicting. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, a meta-analysis was performed. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated to assess the association between MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms and lung cancer risk. A total of 15 studies including 10,753 cases and 11,275 controls described C677T genotypes, among which 11 articles totalling 6,161 cases and 7,684 controls described A1298C genotypes, were also involved in this meta-analysis. Overall, no significantly elevated lung cancer risk was found in any genetic models when all studies were pooled. For C677T polymorphism: (TT vs. CC: OR = 1.17, 95% CI = 0.97-1.42; TC vs. CC: OR = 1.06, 95% CI = 0.94-1.20; dominant model: OR = 1.09, 95% CI = 0.96-1.24; and recessive model: OR = 1.08, 95% CI = 0.95-1.24); for A1298C polymorphism: (CC vs. AA: OR = 1.04, 95% CI = 0.91-1.19; AC vs. AA: OR = 0.98, 95% CI = 0.91-1.06; dominant model: OR = 0.99, 95% CI = 0.92-1.06; and recessive model: OR = 1.05, 95% CI = 0.92-1.20). In the subgroup analyses, the results showed that 677T varients could decrease lung cancer risk in female (OR = 0.63, 95% CI = 0.41-0.95, P-value = 0.03, 677CC as reference). No evidence of any associations of MTHFR A1298C polymorphism with lung cancer was found in overall or subgroup analyses. Our meta-analysis supports that the common polymorphisms of C677T and A1298C in MTHFR gene are not susceptibility gene for lung cancer from currently available evidence. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 January 2012.
All research outputs
#18,303,566
of 22,661,413 outputs
Outputs from Molecular Biology Reports
#1,593
of 2,872 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#196,012
of 244,244 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Molecular Biology Reports
#35
of 55 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,661,413 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,872 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.2. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 244,244 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 55 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
