  ABSTRACT: Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) negatively regulate the gene expression and act as tumor suppressors or oncogenes in carcinogenesis. The association between single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in miR-196a2 rs11614913 and the susceptibility of digestive system cancers was inconsistent in previous studies. Methods: A standardized search of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane library databases for publications on miR-196a2 rs11614913 polymorphism and digestive system cancer risk was performed. Then the genotype data were analyzed in a meta-analysis. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to evaluate the association. Test of heterogeneity, sensitivity analysis and assessment of publication bias were conducted in the present meta-analysis by STATA software 12.0. Results: An updated meta-analysis based on 34 independent case-control studies consisting of 13,013 cases and 16,046 controls was performed to address this association. There was a remarkable association between miR-196a2 rs11614913 polymorphism and overall digestive system cancer risk, especially in Asian populations. Moreover, subgroup analysis revealed that variant C allele increased risk of colorectal carcinoma, gastric cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), compared with wild T allele. Conclusions: There was a remarkable association between miR-196a2 rs11614913 polymorphism and overall digestive system cancer risk, especially in Asian populations.
