Objective：To assess the association between X-ray repair cross-complementating group 1 （XRCC1） polymorphisms and pancreatic cancer.Methods：We searched MEDLINE,Web of Science and HuGE Navigator at June 2010,and then quantitatively summarized associations of the XRCC1 polymorphisms with pancreatic cancer risk using meta-analysis.Results：Four studies with 1343 cases and 2302 controls were included.Our analysis found：at codon 194,the Trp allele did not decrease pancreatic cancer risk （Arg/Arg versus Trp/Trp：OR=0.97;95% CI：0.48-1.96;P=0.97;Arg/Arg versus Arg/Trp：OR=0.89;95% CI：0.70-1.13;P=0.55;Arg/Trp versus Trp/Trp：OR=1.06;95% CI：0.52-2.16;P=0.90）;at codon 280,only a study showed a nonsignificant association between single nucleotide polymorphism with pancreatic cancer risk;at codon 399,the Gln allele also showed no signi？cant effect on pancreatic cancer compared to Arg allele （Arg/Arg versus Gln/Gln：OR=0.94;95% CI：0.74-1.18;Arg/Arg versus Arg/Gln：OR=0.97;95% CI：0.83-1.13;Arg/Gln versus Gln/Gln：OR=0.97;95% CI：0.77-1.22）.The shape of the funnel plot and the Egger＇s test did not detect any publication bias.Conclusion：There is no evidence that XRCC1 polymorphisms （Arg194Trp,Arg280His,and Arg399Gln） are associated with pancreatic cancer risk.
