The association between polymorphisms in HOTAIR gene and cancer susceptibility has been analyzed intensively, but the conclusions are inconsistent. Therefore, we carried out a meta-analysis aiming to assess the relationship exactly. Eligible studies were searched in PubMed and Embase databases up to...
