Overall, significantly elevated LC risk was associated with rs2736100, rs401681, rs402710, and rs31489 polymorphisms when all studies were pooled into the meta-analysis.
Overall, the findings from our replication study and meta-analysis demonstrated that CLPTM1L gene rs31489 is significantly associated with lung cancer.
SNP rs31489 showed the strongest evidence of familial lung cancer association on 5p15.33 (P = 2 x 10(-4); odds ratio, 0.57; 95% confidence interval, 0.42-0.77), whereas rs3117582 showed a weak association on 6p21.33 (P = 0.09; odds ratio, 1.47; 95% confidence interval, 0.94-2.31).
