Oncotarget

Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

Its scope is unique. The term "oncotarget" encompasses all molecules, pathways, cellular functions, cell types, and even tissues that can be viewed as targets relevant to cancer as well as other diseases. The term was introduced in the inaugural Editorial, Introducing Oncotarget.

As of January 1, 2022, Oncotarget has shifted to a continuous publishing model. Papers will now be published continuously within yearly volumes in their final and complete form and then quickly released to Pubmed.

Abstract

Breast cancer 1 (BRCA1) gene makes great contributions to the repair of DNA. The association between BRCA1 P871L polymorphism and cancer risk has been investigated in a growing number of studies, but the conclusions are not conclusive. To obtain a comprehensive conclusion, we performed a meta-analysis of 24 studies with 13762 cases and 22388 controls. The pooled results indicated that BRCA1 gene P871L variant decreased risk of overall cancer (homozygous model: odds ratio (OR) = 0.89, 95%confidence interval (CI) = 0.79-1.00; recessive model: OR = 0.89, 95% CI = 0.80-0.99). The stratified analysis observed decreased risk associated with BRCA1 P871L in subgroups among Asians and high score studies, but not Caucasians or low score studies. In conclusion, despite several limitations, this meta-analysis suggested that BRCA1 P871L genetic variation may be associated with decreased susceptibility to cancer.
