Association studies on the XPD Asp312Asn and Lys751Gln polymorphisms with bladder cancer development reported conflicting results. A meta-analysis from eligible cancer case-control studies was performed to assess potential associations. In total, eight studies were used with a fixed effects model or a random effects...
