The genetic landscape of CYP24A1 polymorphisms in cancer risk: evidence from a systematic review.
Review in Discover oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Cancer remains a significant global health challenge, with a multifaceted etiology that includes genetic factors. Among these, CYP24A1 stands out for its pivotal role in vitamin D metabolism and regulates biological processes influencing cancer risk. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in CYP24A1 are associated with variations in vitamin D bioavailability, potentially impacting the initiation and progression of cancer. To date, no comprehensive review has been conducted on this topic. Therefore, this systematic review aims to investigate the association between common CYP24A1 polymorphisms and cancer susceptibility, by analyzing studies retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases up to January 2024. Using PRISMA guidelines and quality assessments with the Newcastle Ottawa Scale (NOS), 22 studies, with 28,132 participants (12,751 cases and 15,381 controls) were included. The reported odds ratio and p-value were used to assess the association between CYP24A1 SNPs (rs2296241, rs6068816, rs927650, rs2181874 and rs2585428) with various cancer risks. Key findings revealed that SNP rs2296241 was linked to increased risk of follicular thyroid cancer but lower risks in papillary thyroid cancer, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, oral cancer, and prostate cancer. SNP rs6068816 correlated with reduced breast and lung cancer risks, while rs927650 and rs2181874 were associated with lower risks in papillary thyroid cancer and prostate cancer, respectively. SNP rs2585428 showed a lower risk in breast and prostate cancers suggesting a protective effect against these malignancies. These results highlight CYP24A1 polymorphisms as potential molecular markers for cancer susceptibility, underscoring their clinical relevance in risk assessment and personalized interventions.
