Previous studies indicate that women carrying the Prohibitin T allele have an increased susceptibility to breast cancer. However, the role of 1630 C>T polymorphism in mRNA expression of prohibitin and its contribution to carcinogenesis in the breast remains controversial. Methods: Using mRNA expression data from the HapMap online database, we sought an association between prohibitin 1630 C>T polymorphism and its mRNA expression, then conducted a meta-analysis of prohibitin 1630 C>T polymorphism and risk of breast cancer. Results: Although no significant association was found between prohibitin 1630 C>T polymorphism and mRNA expression in lymphoblastoid cell lines from the HapMap database (Ptrend = 0.543), the present meta-analysis involving 5072 cases and 4796 controls demonstrated that prohibitin 1630 C>T polymorphism was significantly correlated with breast cancer risk in allele contrast model T versus C (odds ratio [OR] 1.09, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01¨C1.18), the homozygote codominant model TT versus CC (OR 1.47, 95% CI 1.12¨C1.92), and the recessive model TT versus CC/CT (OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.10¨C1.89). Conclusion: Our study indicates that minor allele T of prohibitin 1630 C>T polymorphism is associated with increased susceptibility to breast cancer. %K prohibitin %K breast cancer %K genetic %K polymorphisms %K risk %U https://www.dovepress.com/3acute-untranslated-region-1630-cgtt-polymorphism-of-prohibitin-increa-peer-reviewed-article-OTT
