Abstract

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene polymorphisms are a crucial functional marker in human body. Several genetic association studies reported the significant association between IL-6 gene and various major disease and cancers. In this study, the association of IL-6 gene polymorphism (rs1800796) with cancer risk was investigated through a meta-analysis, which included the larger sample size. To find the association between IL-6 gene (−572 G/C) polymorphism, we extracted the dataset in 27 eligible studies for 24,138 subjects through an efficient searching strategy from PubMed, PubMed central, web of science, google scholar, and other relevant biological literature-based online databases until February 2019. We investigated the association by comparing the allelic and genotypic case–control frequency based on odds ratio with 95% confidence interval and some other statistical tests. According to the results, the rs1800796 SNP significantly associated with increasing risk (CG vs. CC + GG: OR = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.01 – 1.23, p = 0.0288) of overall cancer, particularly with lung, stomach, and prostate cancer as well as for Asian ethnicity. These findings suggest that IL-6 gene polymorphisms may appraise as a genetic biomarker for cancer risks.
