Abstract

Background miR-4293 rs12220909 polymorphism was reported associated with tumorigenesis, but the results are controversial. Thus, we planned to verify and obtain precise results. Methods Databases were searched and reviewed up to November, 2019. Case-control studies which concern about the association between cancer risks and miR-4293 polymorphisms were all enrolled. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) calculated by the Z test were used to assess the underlying links. We also prospected how the miR-4293 impacts biological process through its target genes. Result Finally, there are seven independent studies meet the enrolled criteria, along with 5147 cases and 6108 healthy controls. We revealed that there is a significant decrease effect of miR-4293 rs12220909 to cancer risks in heterozygote genetic model (BA vs. AA: OR = 0.857, p = .032), the similar results were also uncovered in PB control group, lung cancer and the studies conform to HWE. Results from GO items and KEGG pathway analysis illustrated that myeloid cell development, transcription factor complex, RNA polymerase II regulatory region DNA binding were regulated by miR-4293. Conclusion In summary, our meta-analysis chase down heterozygote rs12220909 polymorphism of miR-4293 is a protective factor to cancer initiation, especially for lung cancer.
