DOIAbstract
Arg72Pro polymorphism may contribute to an increased risk of cutaneous melanoma (CM).By searching the databases of PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science, a total of 8 eligible case-control studies with 1,957 CM cases and 2,887 controls were included in this meta-analysis. Stata software was used to analyze all the statistical data. = 0.075). A similar trend was seen in subgroups of hospital-based studies and population-based studies. Arg72Pro polymorphism may increase individual susceptibility to CM, particularly in Caucasians and could serve as a biomarker to predict the population at high risk of CM
