Article Abstract
Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein 2, encoded by , can trigger chronic gut inflammation that leads to colorectal cancer (CRC). However, studies that have investigated the association of polymorphisms and CRC susceptibility have produced inconsistent findings. To clarify this relationship, a meta-analysis was conducted to integrate data from previous studies to achieve a more precise evaluation of the risk association. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were systematically searched to identify relevant studies on the association of polymorphisms with CRC risk. Genetic risk association was quantitatively assessed under five genetic models: homozygous, heterozygous, dominant, recessive, and allele. Thirteen studies, comprising 5,013 cases and 4,463 controls, were included in this study. Four polymorphisms were investigated in these studies, namely rs2066842, rs2066844, rs2066845, and rs2066847. Of these, only rs2066845 and rs2066847 were found to be significantly associated with increased CRC risk (rs2066845, heterozygous OR = 1.544, 95% CI = 1.014-2.349, P = 0.043; dominant OR = 1.561, 95% CI = 1.035-2.354, P = 0.034; allele OR = 1.572, 95% CI = 1.040-2.375, P = 0.032; rs2066847, heterozygous OR = 1.321, 95% CI = 1.060-1.647, P = 0.013; dominant OR = 1.402, 95% CI = 1.147-1.713, P = 0.001; allele OR = 1.345, 95% CI = 1.088-1.663, P = 0.006). In conclusion, the rs2066845 and rs2066847 polymorphisms are associated with an increased risk of CRC and may potentially serve as predisposition biomarkers for the cancer.

Article Synopsis
- Leishmaniases are diseases caused by the Leishmania parasite and transmitted by sandflies, showing a range of clinical outcomes from mild to severe infections.
- Research focused on the NOD2 gene, which is thought to influence disease susceptibility, particularly in cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Brazil.
- Variants of the NOD2 gene (R702W, G908R, L1007fsinsC) were studied, but no significant association was found with susceptibility to CL, suggesting that these genetic variants do not play a role in the disease's pathogenesis.
Polymorphisms in the Genes Coding for TLRs, NLRs and RLRs Are Associated with Clinical Parameters of Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Toll-like receptors (TLRs), NOD-like receptors (NLRs), and RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) are major elements of the innate immune system that recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the TLR, NLR, and RLR genes may lead to an imbalance in the production of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, changes in susceptibility to infections, the development of diseases, and carcinogenesis. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a bone marrow malignancy characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of transformed myeloid precursors.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the important causes of mortality due to malignancy. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are very important in liver pathophysiology in terms of their roles in the innate immune system, such as the regulation of inflammation, wound healing, stimulation of adaptive immune responses, promotion of epithelial regeneration, and carcinogenesis. In this study, we planned to examine the role of TLR1 (rs4833095, rs5743551) and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD2) (rs2066844, rs2066845, rs2066847) polymorphisms in the development of HCC and their effects on the clinical presentation of HCC patients.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores how specific genetic variations (SNPs) influence the effectiveness of immunomodulatory therapies and disease progression in patients with Crohn's disease (CD).
- It included 379 patients from Heidelberg University Hospital and found that certain SNPs are linked to treatment response and complications, such as a higher rate of surgeries related to CD.
- Notably, the presence of a risk allele in the PTPN2 gene was significantly associated with a poor response to a specific treatment, indicating the need for future research on genetic factors in CD management.
