  Evidence is increasingly emerging about multiple roles for the NAD (P) H quinine oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) enzyme in gastric cancer (GC). The NQO1609C>T (Pro187Ser) null polymorphism of the NQO1 gene contributes significantly to the variation in enzymatic activity across different populations. NQO1609C>T polymorphism was thoroughly investigated with respect to gastric cancer susceptibility. The results were inconsistent partly due to low sample sizes. The aim of the present work was to perform a meta-analysis to assess association for gastric cancer. Present meta-analysis involved eligible studies including 722 cases and 853 controls. Present metaanalysis found a statistically significant association between the variant T allele and overall cancer risk in the worldwide population (for the TT vs CC; co-dominant model, OR=1.568; 95%CI=1.096-2.244; P=0.014). At allele level, NQO1609C.. View More»
