Recent studies have shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) HOX transcript antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR) polymorphisms are associated with cancer susceptibility. The greatest threat to women's health among a variety of cancers is breast cancer (BC), cervical cancer (CC), and ovarian cancer (OC), and the incidence of it is increasing. We performed a meta-analysis to clarify the relationship between lncRNA HOTAIR expression and BC, CC, and OC susceptibility. We thoroughly searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library to obtain the relevant literature. We extracted data from case groups and control groups for each single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs4759314, rs920778, rs189663, rs12826786, rs7958904, and rs874945) and compared the relationship between alleles, codominance models, dominant and invisible models and BC, CC, and OC susceptibility. Our study included 11 studies with a total of 5322 patients. There was a significant association between the rs4759314 polymorphism of HOTAIR and susceptibility to BC, CC, and OC (codominant model: AG/AA odds ratio [OR] = 1.13 [95% confidence intervals [CI], 1.00-1.29], GG/AA OR = 1.54 [95% CI, 1.06-2.23]; dominant model: GG + AG/AA OR = 1.16 [95% CI, 1.02-1.32]; and recessive model: GG/AA + AG OR = 1.51 [95% CI, 1.05-2.19]). The association between the expression of rs920778 and BC, CC, and OC susceptibility was not clear (alleles T/C: OR = 1.28 [95% CI, 0.87-1.89]; in codominant model: CT/CC OR = 1.10, [95% CI, 0.71-1.71], TT/CC OR = 1.29 [95% CI, 0.59-2.80]; dominant model: TC + TT/CC OR = 1.16, [95% CI, 0.73-1.86]; and recessive model: TT/TC + CC OR = 1.43, [95% CI, 0.83-2.47]). HOTAIR polymorphism rs1899663 was associated with BC, CC, and OC susceptibility to a certain extent, (alleles T/G OR = 0.90 [95% CI, 0.69-1.16]; in the codominant model: GT/GG OR = 0.81 [95% CI, 0.50-1.30], TT/GG OR = 1.04 [95% CI, 0.63-1.72]; dominant model: GT + TT/GG OR = 0.82 [95% CI, 0.52-1.29]; and recessive model: TT/GT + GG OR = 1.21 [95% CI, 0.76-1.94]). The rs12826786, rs7958904, and rs874945 polymorphisms were associated with a certain degree of BC, CC, and OC susceptibility, but they were not statistically significant. HOTAIR rs4759314 increased susceptibility to BC, CC, and OC in some patients; rs029778 and rs1899663 also increased susceptibility to some extent. SNPs rs12826786, rs7958904, and rs874945 did not correlate with an effect on patient susceptibility to BC, CC, and OC.
