This systematic review and network meta-analysis evaluated the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the risk of oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) in a population of 2545 cases and 3772 controls. The study identified several SNPs, notably CYP1A1 rs1048943:A>G, as significantly associated with increased OSF risk, with the dominant model of this SNP being the most strongly linked.

Key findings

  • CYP1A1 rs1048943:A>G was the most strongly associated SNP with OSF risk.
  • The dominant model of CYP1A1 rs1048943:A>G ranked first in association strength.
  • GSTT1 null genotype and GSTM1 null genotype were linked to increased OSF risk.
  • MMP2 rs243865:C>T and MMP3 rs3025058:5A>6A were associated with decreased OSF risk.

Why it matters

Understanding the genetic factors associated with OSF can help identify individuals at higher risk for this precancerous condition, potentially guiding early intervention and monitoring strategies in clinical practice.
