Association between genetic polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme and diabetic nephropathy: a meta-analysis comprising 26,580 subjects.

Introduction: The effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism on risk of diabetic nephropathy (DN) is still conflicting. The present meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the overall risk of this polymorphism associated with DN in different groups.

Materials And Methods: A predefined search was performed on 14,108 DN cases and 12,472 controls from 63 published studies by searching electronic databases and reference lists of relevant articles.

Common BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in breast cancer families: a meta-analysis from systematic review.

A number of molecular epidemiological studies have been conducted the screening for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in breast cancer patients with a positive family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer and reported many common mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 associated in breast cancer in different population and different ethnicity. However, it's still lack of a systematic analysis on these mutations. To comprehensively evaluate the frequency and distribution of common BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations which associated with breast cancer risk, we address this issue through system review and meta-analysis on 29 relevant published studies by conducting a literature search on PubMed and CNKI.
