| Abstract | The -572G/C polymorphism in interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene is associated with the development of cancer. However, previous studies have shown conflicting results; therefore, the association must be verified by an appropriate meta-analysis. For this purpose, we performed a literature search of the PubMed database to identify all reports on association between the IL-6 -572G/C polymorphism and cancer risk. Summary odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated for the -572G/C polymorphism and cancer in a fixed- and random-effect model, as appropriate. Publication bias was evaluated using the Begg's funnel plot. The meta-analysis was performed on the STATA (v.12.0) software. Seven studies, which analyzed 3387 cases and 4529 controls, were identified. The results of the meta-analysis showed no significant association between the -572G/C polymorphism in the IL-6 gene and cancer risk (GG vs CC: OR = 1.03, 95%CI = 0.76-1.40; GG vs CG: OR = 0.94, 95%CI = 0.82-1.09; dominant model: OR = 1.06, 95%CI = 0.92-1.21; recessive model: OR = 1.01, 95%CI = 0.86-1.18). The data were subjected to a subgroup analysis (stratified by race and cancer type), and no significant associations were found between the -572G/C polymorphism in the IL-6 gene and cancer risk. Therefore, the results of this meta-analysis suggested that the IL-6 -572G/C polymorphism was not associated with an elevated risk of cancer. |

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.
