Abstract

Background: Some studies have investigated the association of GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTM3, and GSTP1
polymorphisms with susceptibility to osteosarcoma; however, these studies results are inconsistent and inconclusive. In
order to drive a more precise estimation, the present case-control study and meta-analysis was performed to investigate
association of GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTM3, and GSTP1 polymorphisms with osteosarcoma. Methods: Eligible articles
were identified by a search of several electronic databases for the period up to May 5, 2018. Odds ratios were pooled
using either fixed-effects or random effects models. Results: Finally, a total of 24 case-control studies with 2,405
osteosarcoma cases and 3,293 controls were included in the present meta-analysis. Overall, significantly increased
osteosarcoma risk was found when all studies were pooled into the meta-analysis of GSTT1 (Null vs. Present: OR= 1.247
95% CI 1.020-1.524, P= 0.031) and GSTP1 polymorphism (B vs. A: OR= 8.899 95% CI 2.722-29.094, P≤0.001). In
the stratified, significantly increased osteosarcoma risk was observed for GSTT1 polymorphism among Asians (Null
vs. Present: OR= 1.300 95% CI 1.034-1.635, P= 0.025), but not among Caucasians. Conclusions: This meta-analysis
demonstrated that GSTP1 and GSTT1 null genotype are associated with the risk of osteosarcoma. Future large welldesigned epidemiological studies are warranted to validate our results.
