Abstract:
BACKGROUND:An epigenetic approach to explaining endometrial carcinogenesis necessitates good understanding of Ras association domain family 1 isoform A (RASSF1A) promoter methylation data from primary studies. AIMS:Differential magnitude of reported associations between RASSF1A promoter methylation and endometrial cancer (EC) prompted a meta-analysis to obtain more precise estimates. METHODS:Literature search yielded eight included articles. We calculated pooled odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals and subgrouped the data by race. Sources of heterogeneity were investigated with outlier analysis. RESULTS:The pooled ORs indicated increased risk, mostly significant. The overall effect (OR 11.46) was reflected in the European outcome (OR 15.07). However, both findings were heterogeneous (I2=57-70%) which when subjected to outlier treatment, erased heterogeneity (I2=0%) and retained significance (OR 9.85-12.66). Significance of these pre- and post-outlier outcomes were pegged at P≤0.0001. Only the Asian pre-outlier (OR 6.85) and heterogeneous (I2=82%) outcome was not significant (P=0.12) but when subjected to outlier treatment, erased heterogeneity (I2=0%) and generated significance (OR 23.74, P≤0.0001). CONCLUSIONS:Consistent increased risk associations underpinned by significance and robustness render RASSF1A with good biomarker potential for EC.
