BackgroundThe association of the fetal MTHFR A1298C (rs1801131) polymorphism and neural tube defects (NTDs) susceptibility has been widely demonstrated, but the results remain inconclusive. Thus, we performed a meta-analysis to investigate …
Background MTHFR gene may be a key epigenetic regulation-related factor crucial during embryogenesis. We performed a meta-analysis to determine the association of fetal MTHFR C677T polymorphism with neural tube defects (NTDs).Methods A comp…
BackgroundThe association of polymorphisms at nitric oxide synthases (eNOS) gene with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) susceptibility has been the focus of attention in several studies. However, the conclusions have been divergent and controv…
BackgroundIn spite of substantial declines in both incidence and mortality rates in the past 50 years, cervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer associated mortality among women globally. We performed this meta-analysis to…
The objective of this meta-analysis was to estimate the association of ACE I/D, -240 A > T and AT1R 1166 A > C polymorphisms with breast cancer (BC) risk. A comprehensive search on databases was conducted to identify all eligible case-contr…
BackgroundThe association of genetic polymorphisms at Axis inhibition protein 2 (AXIN2) gene and susceptibility to different cancer has attracted much interest. The present study aimed to evaluate the association between AXIN2 rs2240308 C>T…
BackgroundDuring the past decades, the expansion of molecular development has had a key role in understanding the basis of gynecological cancer. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is known to be involved in the pathogenesis of different cancers. Here, we…
BackgroundInsulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) has a prominent role in fetal growth and development. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of IGF-II Apa1 and MspI polymorphisms with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR…
ObjectiveThe effects of the MTHFR 677C > T polymorphism on the intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and placental abruption risk have been evaluated in some studies. However, those studies results were conflicting and ambiguous. Therefore…
ObjectiveBreast cancer is the most common cancer in American women, except for skin cancers. In this meta-analysis, the associations of polymorphisms within paraoxonase 1 (PON1), leptin (LEP) and leptin receptor (LEPR) genes with susceptibi…
BackgroundPrimary studies have shown that the IL-12B rs3212227 and IL-6 rs1800795 polymorphisms are associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer. However, conflicting results warrant a meta-analysis to obtain more precise estimates.…
Background: Since early December 2019, the Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) infection has been prevalent in China and eventually spread to other countries. There are a few published cases of COVID-19 occurring during pregnancy and due the …
