LEP gene variant is associated with prostate cancer but not with colorectal cancer.

Tumour biology : the journal of the International Society for Oncodevelopmental Biology and Medicine - 1 Oct 2013

He Juan, Xu Guili

Abstract excerpt

The leptin (LEP) gene has been considered to be implicated in the development of cancer. However, the results have been inconsistent. In this study, we performed a meta-analysis to clarify the association of LEP rs7799039 variant with colorectal and prostate cancer risk. Published literatures from PubMed and Embase were retrieved. Pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95 % confidence interval (CI) was calculated using...
