Oncotarget

Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

Its scope is unique. The term "oncotarget" encompasses all molecules, pathways, cellular functions, cell types, and even tissues that can be viewed as targets relevant to cancer as well as other diseases. The term was introduced in the inaugural Editorial, Introducing Oncotarget.

As of January 1, 2022, Oncotarget has shifted to a continuous publishing model. Papers will now be published continuously within yearly volumes in their final and complete form and then quickly released to Pubmed.

ABSTRACT

Several studies addressed the association between Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) rs5498 polymorphism and Myocardial Infarction (MI) risk. However, they addressed conflicting findings. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore whether ICAM-1 gene rs5498 polymorphism plays an important role in modifying the risk of MI. A meta-analysis was conducted on the association between ICAM-1 rs5498 polymorphism and MI. 12 eligible studies involving 1,696 cases and 3,039 controls were included in the meta-analysis. Meta-analysis revealed that ICAM-1 rs5498 polymorphism showed a strongly positive correlation with MI and could be viewed as a protective factor for MI. Furthermore, subgroup analysis according to ethnicity indicated that ICAM-1 rs5498 polymorphism decreased the risk of MI among Caucasian and Asian populations. In conclusion, ICAM-1 rs5498 polymorphism was associated with the decreased risk of MI. Larger sample size studies with more diverse ethnic populations are needed to confirm these findings.
