Abstract excerpt
Selenoproteins are involved in antioxidant defense, the redox signaling pathway and cell homeostasis. Primary studies have shown that single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the selenoprotein gene (SEP15) are associated with cancer risk. However, conflicting outcomes warrant a meta-analysis to obtain more precise estimates. Literature search yielded 18 case-control studies from 12 articles. We calculated pooled odds...
