| Abstract | The polymorphism of X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) Arg194Trp, a substitution of Arg to Gln at position 194, has been implicated in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC) in a number of case-control studies with contradictory and inconclusive findings. The current meta-analysis of all currently available publications was conducted to assess the gene susceptibility to CRC and improve our understanding of the CRC pathogenesis. The pooled odds ratio (OR) with corresponding 95 % confidence interval (95 % CI) was calculated by use of fixed-effects model or random-effects model when appropriate. A total of 15 eligible case-control studies with 4,501 cases and 8,038 controls were retrieved after a comprehensive search of the PubMed, Embase, Web of science, and Chinese Biomedicine (CBM) databases up to December 2012. The overall meta-analysis identified a positive but not statistically significant association between the XRCC1 Arg194Trp polymorphism and CRC risk under all genetic contrast models (ORTrp vs. Arg = 1.07, 95 % CI 0.90-1.26, P OR = 0.441; ORTrpTrp vs. ArgArg = 1.28, 95 % CI 0.91-1.81, P OR = 0.163; ORArgTrp vs. ArgArg = 1.00, 95 % CI 0.85-1.19, P OR = 0.956; ORArgTrp + TrpTrp vs. ArgArg = 1.06, 95 % CI 0.90-1.24, P OR = 0.502; ORTrpTrp vs. ArgArg + ArgTrp = 1.11, 95 % CI 0.91-1.34, P OR = 0.306). The genotype TrpTrp carriers among Caucasians were more susceptible to CRC, although lack statistical evidence (ORTrpTrp vs. ArgArg = 2.69, 95 % CI 0.97-7.49, P OR = 0.058; ORTrpTrp vs. ArgArg + ArgTrp = 2.77, 95 % CI 0.99-7.72, P OR = 0.051). Interestingly, the XRCC1 Arg194Trp variant was significantly associated with an increased risk of colon cancer. The present meta-analysis suggests that the XRCC1 Arg194Trp polymorphism may modify the risk for CRC, particularly colon cancer. However, the precise genetic association needs to be further estimated in future studies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
