Meta-analysis shown that IL23R rs1884444 increased the risk of overall disease in allele model (OR = 1.16, 95% CI: 1.08-1.25, P < .001), and also increased the risk of gastrointestinal tumor (OR = 1.18, 95% CI: 1.05-1.31, P = .005).
When studies were stratified by cancer type, our results indicated that rs4588 significantly increased the risk of breast cancer and digestive system tumor, but not in prostate cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, while rs7041 significantly increased the risk of non-small cell lung cancer.
The KIT/FLT3 inhibitor SU-11248 potently inhibits the imatinib-resistant KIT(V559D/T670I) kinase, consistent with the clinical efficacy of SU-11248 against imatinib-resistant gastrointestinal tumors, and the EGFR inhibitors EKB-569 and CI-1033, but not GW-572016 and ZD-6474, potently inhibit the gefitinib- and erlotinib-resistant EGFR(L858R/T790M) kinase.
