%X <B>BACKGROUND: </B>The miR-451 has been reported to play an important role in colorectal cancer (CRC) pathogenesis and can be a pivotal diagnosis biomarker of CRC. Given the contradictions in the diagnosis value of the miR-451 in patients with CRC, deciphering the diagnostic/prognostic role of this miRNA in CRC will support the identification of a novel therapeutic target for CRC. Therefore, in the present meta-analysis, we evaluated the diagnostic value of miR-451 in CRC patients.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>The electronic databases of Embase, PubMed, ISI Web of Science, and Scopus systematically searched for relevant studies. The odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated to evaluate the association between miR-451 family expression and diagnosis of colorectal cancer. The parameters including sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) were obtained. The quality of evidence was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottava Scale (NOS).<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>This study involved 510 patients (45% female and 55% male) with CRC. The pooled analysis of the studies showed a significant association between low expression levels of miR-451 in patients with CRC (OR = 7.59; 95% CI 2.39 - 24.07; p = 0.001). The overall sensitivity and specificity were 0.95 (0.61 - 1) and 0.83 (0.43 - 0.99), respectively. The pooled AUC was 0.97 (0.88 - 1; p < 0.006). Results showed if the pre-test probability is 50% for a patient, the post-test probability will be 85%. The indices demonstrated the high potency of miR-451 as a diagnostic biomarker in patients with CRC. No publication bias was observed using the Begg's (p=0.85) and Egger's tests (p=0.45).<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>A strong relationship between the low expression levels of miR-451 and CRC progression was observed. This finding suggests the miR-451 family may be helpful as a potential biomarker for the earlier diagnosis of colorectal cancer.
