BackgroundThe aim of this meta-analysis was to explore associations between polymorphisms in CTLA-4/IL-18 and chronic liver diseases by combing the results of all relevant studies.MethodsEligible studies were searched from Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane library. We used Review Manager to combine the results of eligible studies.ResultsSixty-seven studies were included in this meta-analysis. Combined results revealed that CTLA-4 rs231775 (dominant, recessive and allele comparisons), IL-18 rs1946518 (dominant, recessive and allele comparisons) and IL-18 rs187238 (dominant, over-dominant and allele comparisons) polymorphisms were all significantly associated with chronic liver diseases in the overall population. We also obtained similar positive results for rs231775, rs5742909, rs3087243, rs1946518 and rs187238 polymorphisms in subgroup analyses by ethnicity and type of disease.ConclusionsThis meta-analysis demonstrated that CTLA-4 rs231775, CTLA-4 rs5742909, CTLA-4 rs3087243, IL-18 rs1946518 and IL-18 rs187238 polymorphisms may confer susceptibility to certain types of chronic liver diseases.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine whether interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) polymorphisms confer susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A meta-analysis was conducted on the associations between the IL-23R rs1343151, rs10489629, rs7517847, rs11209026, rs1004819, and rs2201841 polymorphisms and RA using (1) allele contrast, (2) the recessive model, (3) the dominant model, and (4) the additive model. A total of 13 studies from eight articles involving 10,016 RA patients and 11,967 controls were considered in the meta-analysis. Meta-analysis identified a significant association between RA and the A allele of the rs1343151 polymorphism in the overall population (OR?=?1.110, 95?% CI?=?1.056–1.168, p?=?4.7?×?10?6). Stratification by ethnicity identified a significant association between this polymorphism and RA in Europeans (OR?=?1.105, 95?% CI?=?1.049–1.163, p?=?1.4?×?10?5). An association was also found between RA and the A allele carrier of the rs1343151 polymorphism in Europeans (OR?=?1.135, 95?% CI?=?1.058–1.217, p?=?4.0?×?10?5). Meta-analysis revealed a significant association between RA and the A allele of the rs10489629 polymorphism in the overall population (OR?=?1.079, 95?% CI?=?1.029–1.131, p?=?0.002) and in Europeans (OR?=?1.092, 95?% CI?=?1.038–1.149, p?=?0.001). Meta-analyses of recessive, dominant, and additive models showed the same pattern as the meta-analysis of the A allele of the rs10489629 polymorphism, that is, a significant association with RA in Europeans. However, no association was found between the IL-23R rs7517847, rs11209026, rs1004819, and rs2201841 polymorphisms and RA susceptibility. This meta-analysis shows that the IL-23R rs1343151 and rs10489629 polymorphisms are associated with the development of RA in Europeans. These findings suggest that the IL-23R genes confer susceptibility to RA in the European population, but further study of this association is required in other ethnic groups.  相似文献

Some studies have shown that IL-18 was associated with aetiology and progression of asthma. However, the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms −607C/A (rs1946518) and −137G/C (rs187238) located in the IL-18 gene promoter and asthma risk was still controversial and ambiguous. To derive a more precise effect on the association between these polymorphisms and asthma risk, we performed a meta-analysis based on the currently available evidence of the literature. A total of 5 studies with 1411 cases and 1525 controls for −607C/A polymorphism and 5 studies with 1883 cases and 6645 controls for −137G/C polymorphism were identified to perform a meta-analysis, up to October 2010. Summary ORs and corresponding 95% CIs for IL-18 polymorphisms and asthma were estimated using fixed- and random-effects models when appropriate. Heterogeneity and publication bias were evaluated. We found that individuals carrying AC/CC genotype of −607C/A polymorphism were associated with an increased asthma risk in recessive model (OR = 1.278; 95% CI, 1.073–1.522). However, no significant association was observed between −137G/C polymorphism and asthma risk under different contrast models. There was no evidence of publication bias. The present meta-analysis suggested that IL-18 −607C/A polymorphism in promoter region was associated with asthma risk.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine whether the three functional interleukin-18 (IL-18) promoter ?607 C/A (rs1946518), ?137 G/C (rs187238), and ?1297 C/T (rs360719) polymorphisms confer susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in ethnically different populations. Meta-analysis was conducted on the associations between these IL-18 polymorphisms and SLE using; (1) allele contrast, (2) the recessive model, (3) the dominant model, and (4) the additive model. A total of 11 comparisons (nine studies) involving 8,453 subjects (2,928 SLE patients and 5,525 controls) were included in the meta-analysis. In all study subjects, meta-analysis showed no association between SLE and the IL-18 ?607 C allele (odds ratio [OR] = 1.065, 95 % confidence interval [CI] = 0.870–1.303, p = 0.541). However, stratification by ethnicity indicated a significant association between this allele and SLE in Europeans (OR = 0.864, 95 % CI = 0.757–0.986, p = 0.031), but not in Asians (OR = 1.230, 95 % CI = 0.902–1.676, p = 0.190). Meta-analyses showed the same pattern for the IL-18 ?607 C allele using the dominant and additive models. Meta-analysis of the IL-18 ?137 G/C polymorphism showed no association between SLE and the IL-18 ?137 G allele in all study subjects (OR = 0.916, 95 % CI = 0.836–1.003, p = 0.057), but stratification by ethnicity indicated a significant association between this allele and SLE in Asians (OR = 0.792, 95 % CI = 0.629–0.997, p = 0.047), but not in Europeans (OR = 0.930, 95 % CI = 0.839–1.032, p = 0.171). Furthermore, meta-analysis showed that the IL-18 ?1297 C allele was significantly associated with SLE in all study subjects and in Europeans (OR = 1.240, 95 % CI = 1.052–1.482, p = 0.010 and OR = 1.303, 95 % CI = 1.050–1.617, p = 0.016). This meta-analysis shows that the IL-18 ?607 C/A and ?1297 C/T polymorphism are associated with the development of SLE in Europeans, and the IL-18 ?137 G/C polymorphism is associated with SLE in Asians.  相似文献

Interleukin 18 (IL-18) is a proinflammatory cytokine that plays a role in host defense by upregulating both innate and acquired immune responses. Analysis of IL18 polymorphisms may be clinically important since their roles have been recognized in a variety of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. However, the role of this cytokine polymorphisms in kidney transplant still remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated the associations between IL18 polymorphisms and graft function assessed by creatinine clearance in kidney transplant recipients. A total of 82 kidney transplant recipients and 183 healthy controls were enrolled, and frequencies of alleles, genotypes and haplotypes for IL18 polymorphisms were determined and compared with creatinine clearance. The -607C/A (rs1946518) and -137C/G (rs187238) variant alleles in the IL18 gene were determined by polymerase chain reaction. In our study, no significant association was found between the IL18 variants and creatinine clearance (p > 0.05). Nonetheless, polymorphism analysis revealed an increase in the frequency of the IL18 major haplotype -607C/-137G in kidney transplant patients (odds ratio 2.57, 95% confidence interval 1.45–4.55, p = 0.0014). Finally, we found that IL18 polymorphisms did not influence the renal function and that IL18 haplotype -607C/-137G seems to be associated with kidney transplant recipients.  相似文献

The glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a family of phase II xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes known to be involved in the detoxification and elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS), thus defending tissues against oxidative stress. Recently, several studies have examined the potential contributions of GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene polymorphisms toward susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but these studies have produced diverse results. To verify the association between GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to RA, we conducted a meta-analysis of all relevant reports cited in MEDLINE/PubMed before April 2012. A meta-analysis on the association between the GSTM1 polymorphism and RA was performed for 4636 patients with RA and 3916 controls from 8 published studies. In addition, a total of 5 studies involving 3174 RA patients and 2958 controls were considered in the meta-analysis of the association between the GSTT1 polymorphism and RA. No significant association was found between the GSTM1 null genotype and RA susceptibility in all subjects; however, a significant increased risk was found in East Asians. The GSTT1 null genotype was not associated with susceptibility to RA in any study subject. No apparent effect of smoking was found in stratified analysis. The results of our meta-analysis indicated that the GSTM1 null genotype is significantly associated with RA in East Asians alone, indicating that GSTM1 is another non-human leukocyte antigen (non-HLA) susceptibility gene for RA in East Asian populations.  相似文献

Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a multi-functional cytokine capable of inducing either Th1 or Th2 polarization depending on the immunologic milieu. IL-18 may influence the host response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) infection. To investigate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms of the IL-18 and susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis in the Chinese Han population, the IL-18 gene was sequenced to detect polymorphisms and to examine the genotype frequencies in 300 patients and 702 healthy controls. DNA sequencing revealed three IL-18 variants: rs1946518, rs5744247, and rs549908. It also revealed that allele A of rs1946518 confers a 1.47-fold increased risk of developing tuberculosis (TB) (P = 0.0001, OR [95%CI] = 1.47 [1.21-1.78]), and that the C allele of rs5744247 confers a 0.77-fold decreased risk of disease (P = 0.01, R [95%CI] = 0.77 [0.632-0.937]). The genotypes rs1946518, rs5744247 and rs549908 were found to be significantly associated with TB. Estimation of the frequencies of haplotypes revealed a potential risk haplotype AGA (P = 0.01, OR [95%CI] = 1.41 [1.15-1.72]) and a protective haplotype CCA (P = 0.01, OR [95%CI] = 0.70 [0.57-0.85]) for TB. The present findings suggest that polymorphisms in the IL-18 gene may affect susceptibility to TB and increase the risk of developing the disease in the Chinese Han population.  相似文献

An increasing amount of evidence suggests that interleukin-18 (IL-18) plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. However, association between single nucleotide polymorphism of IL-18 and the risk of schizophrenia has not been clarified. This study examined whether two promoter polymorphisms -137 G/C (rs187238) and -607 C/A (rs1946518) of IL-18 were associated with schizophrenia and six clinical symptoms (disorder of perception, thought disorder, disturbance of emotion, disorder of behavior and volition, suicide action, and aggressive action) to provide data for screening high-risk Han Chinese individuals. Three hundred seventy-two schizophrenic patients and 353 healthy controls from a Han Chinese population were examined to assess their genotype and allele frequencies of the two promoter polymorphisms of IL-18. The genotype distributions in both patients and controls were within Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. No significant differences were observed in the genotype or the allele frequencies of the two single-nucleotide polymorphisms between patients and controls. However, genotype frequencies of -607 C/A showed significant differences between patients and controls in the appearance of perception disorder (χ2 = 6.153, p = 0.046). A significant difference was detected in -137 G/C between patients and controls in the appearance of aggressive action (χ2 = 3.909, p = 0.048). In conclusion, IL-18 gene promoter polymorphisms may not contribute to the susceptibility of schizophrenia in a Han Chinese population, but two single-nucleotide polymorphisms, -137 G/C and -607 C/A, may play a role in the development of perception disorder and aggressive action, respectively.  相似文献

A large number of studies have shown that the −1082A/G polymorphism (rs1800896) in the Interleukin-10 gene (IL-10) is implicated in the susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the results are inconsistent and inconclusive. The aim of this study is to analyze the association between the −1082A/G polymorphism in the IL-10 gene and the RA risk by meta-analysis. A total of 1480 cases and 1413 controls in 10 case–control studies were included in this meta-analysis. The results indicated that the G allele carriers (GG + GA) had a 25% decreased risk of RA, when compared with the homozygote AA (odds ratio (OR) = 0.75, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.59–0.93). In the analysis in Europeans, significant decreased risks were associated with the G allele carriers (OR = 0.73 and 95% CI: 0.57–0.93 for GG + GA vs. AA). The results from this meta-analysis provide evidence for the association between the IL-10 −1082A/G polymorphism and the risk of RA. To further evaluate gene × gene and gene × environment interactions between the polymorphisms in the IL-10 gene and RA risk, more studies with large groups of patients are required.  相似文献

Kawasaki disease (KD) is characterized by systemic vasculitis with unknown etiology. Previous studies from Japan indicated that a gene polymorphism of ITPKC (rs28493229) is responsible for susceptibility to KD. We collected DNA samples from 1,531 Taiwanese subjects (341 KD patients and 1,190 controls) for genotyping ITPKC. In this study, no significant association was noted for the ITPKC polymorphism (rs28493229) between the controls and KD patients, although the CC genotype was overrepresented. We further combined our data with previously published case/control KD studies in the Taiwanese population and performed a meta-analysis. A significant association between rs28493229 and KD was found (Odds Ratio:1.36, 95% Confidence Interval 1.12–1.66). Importantly, a significant association was obtained between rs28493229 and KD patients with aneurysm formation (P = 0.001, under the recessive model). Taken together, our results indicated that C-allele of ITPKC SNP rs28493229 is associated with the susceptibility and aneurysm formation in KD patients in a Taiwanese population.  相似文献

Interleukin 18 (IL-18) is a potent proinflammatory cytokine, which promotes the secretions of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-2 and IFN-γ. All those inflammatory cytokines can influence the CYP450 and MDR dependent drug disposition. On the other side, those cytokines can induce hepatic allograft dysfunction. We investigated the effects of serum IL-18 and IL-18 gene promoter polymorphisms on tacrolimus pharmacokinetics and hepatic allograft dysfunction in liver transplant recipients. A total of 155 liver transplant recipients were enrolled into this study (34 females and 121 males). The mean follow-up was 52 months (range 16-96 months).The total liver transplant recipients were divided into hepatic allograft dysfunction (N = 14) and no hepatic allograft dysfunction (N = 141). We studied two single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the promoter region of IL-18 gene at the position G-137C (rs187238) and A-607C (rs1946518) by HRM analysis (high-resolution melting curve analysis). Tacrolimus dosage, tacrolimus blood concentration, serum levels of IL-18 and IFN-γ were also investigated. We found the recipients with higher IL-18 and IFN-γ serum levels had lower tacrolimus concentration/dose (C/D) ratios (P < 0.05). In the mean time, after transplantation hepatic allograft dysfunction was more likely to happen to those recipients. However, there was no significant difference in the frequencies of A-607C and G-137C allelic distribution in recipients' tacrolimus concentration/dose (C/D) ratios. This study identifies IL-18 reduced tacrolimus concentration/dose (C/D) ratio through up regulation of P-glycoprotein (P-gp).  相似文献

Interleukin-23 receptor (IL23R) can interact with IL-23 and, thus, is involved in the T-helper 17 (Th17) cell-mediated inflammatory process as well as tumorigenesis. Recently, a functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs10889677 has been identified in the 3’-untranslated region of IL-23R. It has been showed that the rs10889677AC SNP could increase the binding affinity of microRNA let-7f and downregulate IL-23R expression. Several case-control studies have examined the association between this SNP and genetic susceptibility of multiple solid tumors. However, the conclusions are conflicting. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to systematically study the role of this functional IL-23R SNP in development of multiple solid tumors. There are a total of 5 studies are eligible (6731 cases and 7296 healthy controls). Either fixed-effect model or random-effect model was used to calculate pooled odds ratios (ORs) and the 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Significant association between this functional rs10889677 genetic variant and risk of multiple solid tumors were observed (CC genotype vs. AA genotype: OR = 0.59, 95% CI = 0.53-0.66, P < 0.001). These findings demonstrated that the IL-23R rs10889677 genetic variant might play an important part during malignant transformation of multiple solid tumors.  相似文献

Inflammatory cytokines have been established to be involved in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The genetic polymorphisms in the interleukin (IL) 23 receptor (IL23R), IL21, and IL17 have been associated with RA risk. However, there is no conclusive understanding of the genes encoding the immunoinflammatory IL-21–IL-23R–IL-17A pathway in RA aetiopathogenesis. This meta-analysis was conducted to attain this goal. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in Scopus and PubMed to look for the relevant case–control studies up until 2018. A Bayesian hierarchical meta-analysis was carried out to assess the association between the polymorphisms and the risk of RA. The association was estimated by calculating the logarithm of odds ratio (Log OR) and 95% credible interval (95% CI). In this meta-analysis, 37 case–control studies comprising 23,506 RA patients and 25,984 healthy individuals were found for analyzing the IL23R, IL21, and IL1A gene polymorphism and risk of RA. In the IL23R gene rs1343151 SNP, the minor A allele significantly increased the risk of RA (Log OR = 0.085, 95% CI = 0.008, 0.156). Moreover, the minor AA genotype was significantly associated with increased RA risk (Log OR = 0.176, 95% CI = 0.028, 0.321). In addition, the C allele of the IL23R gene rs2201841 SNP significantly decreased the disease risk (Log OR = −0.544, 95% CI = −1.0, −0.065). Since Bayesian meta-analysis is a powerful strategy to pool the data, it can be mentioned that genetic polymorphisms of IL23R, but not IL21 and IL17A, are involved in susceptibility to RA.  相似文献

Objectives

Genome-wide association studies have facilitated the identification of over 30 susceptibility loci for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, evidence for a number of potential susceptibility genes have not so far reached genome-wide significance in studies of Caucasian RA.

Methods

A cohort of 4286 RA patients from across Europe and 5642 population matched controls were genotyped for 25 SNPs, then combined in a meta-analysis with previously published data.

Results

Significant evidence of association was detected for nine SNPs within the European samples. When meta-analysed with previously published data, 21 SNPs were associated with RA susceptibility. Although SNPs in the PTPN2 gene were previously reported to be associated with RA in both Japanese and European populations, we show genome-wide evidence for a different SNP within this gene associated with RA susceptibility in an independent European population (rs7234029, P = 4.4×10−9).

Conclusions

This study provides further genome-wide evidence for the association of the PTPN2 locus (encoding the T cell protein tyrosine phosphastase) with Caucasian RA susceptibility. This finding adds to the growing evidence for PTPN2 being a pan-autoimmune susceptibility gene.  相似文献

Introduction

Angiogenesis is an important process in the development of destructive synovial pannus in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The ITGAV +gene encodes a cell cycle-associated antigen, integrin ανβ 3, which plays a role in RA angiogenesis. Previously, two independent studies identified an association between the major allele of the ITGAV single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs3738919 and RA. We therefore tested this association in an independent study using New Zealand (NZ) and Oxford (UK) RA case control samples.

Methods

We compared genotype frequencies in 740 NZ Caucasian RA patients and 553 controls genotyped for rs3738919, using a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay. A TaqMan genotyping SNP assay was used to type 713 Caucasian RA patients and 515 control samples from Oxford for the rs3738919 variant. Association of rs3738919 with RA was tested in these two sample sets using the chi-square goodness-of-fit test. The Mantel-Haenszel test was used to perform a meta-analysis, combining the genetic results from four independent Caucasian case control cohorts, consisting of 3,527 cases and 4,126 controls. Haplotype analysis was also performed using SNPs rs3911238, rs10174098 and rs3738919 in the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium, NZ and Oxford case control samples.

Results

We found no evidence for association between ITGAV and RA in either the NZ or Oxford sample set (odds ratio [OR] = 0.88, Pallelic = 0.11 and OR = 1.18, Pallelic = 0.07, respectively). Inclusion of these data in a meta-analysis (random effects) of four independent cohorts (3,527 cases and 4,126 controls) weakens support for the hypothesis that rs3738919 plays a role in the development of RA (ORcombined = 0.92, 95% confidence interval 0.80 to 1.07; P = 0.29). No consistent haplotype associations were evident.

Conclusions

Association of ITGAV SNP rs7378919 with RA was not replicated in NZ or Oxford case control sample sets. Meta-analysis of these and previously published data lends limited support for a role for the ITGAV in RA in Caucasians of European ancestry.  相似文献

Background

BANK1 and BLK belong to the pleiotropic autoimmune genes; recently, epistasis between BANK1 and BLK was detected in systemic lupus erythematosus. Although BLK has been reproducibly identified as a risk factor in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), reports are conflicting about the contribution of BANK1 to RA susceptibility. To ascertain the real impact of BANK1 on RA genetic susceptibility, we performed a large meta-analysis including our original data and tested for an epistatic interaction between BANK1 and BLK in RA susceptibility.

Patients and Methods

We investigated data for 1,915 RA patients and 1,915 ethnically matched healthy controls genotyped for BANK1 rs10516487 and rs3733197 and BLK rs13277113. The association of each SNP and RA was tested by logistic regression. Multivariate analysis was then used with an interaction term to test for an epistatic interaction between the SNPs in the 2 genes.

Results

None of the SNPs tested individually was significantly associated with RA in the genotyped samples. However, we detected an epistatic interaction between BANK1 rs3733197 and BLK rs13277113 (Pinteraction = 0.037). In individuals carrying the BLK rs13277113 GG genotype, presence of the BANK1 rs3733197 G allele increased the risk of RA (odds ratio 1.21 [95% confidence interval 1.04–1.41], P = 0.015. Combining our results with those of all other studies in a large trans-ethnic meta-analysis revealed an association of the BANK1 rs3733197 G allele and RA (1.11 [1.02–1.21], P = 0.012).

Conclusion

This study confirms BANK1 as an RA susceptibility gene and for the first time provides evidence for epistasis between BANK1 and BLK in RA. Our results illustrate the concept of pleiotropic epistatic interaction, suggesting that BANK1 and BLK might play a role in RA pathogenesis.  相似文献

Introduction

Acid phosphatase locus 1 (ACP1) encodes a low molecular weight phosphotyrosine phosphatase implicated in a number of different biological functions in the cell. The aim of this study was to determine the contribution of ACP1 polymorphisms to susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as well as the potential contribution of these polymorphisms to the increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CV) observed in RA patients.

Methods

A set of 1,603 Spanish RA patients and 1,877 healthy controls were included in the study. Information related to the presence/absence of CV events was obtained from 1,284 of these participants. All individuals were genotyped for four ACP1 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs10167992, rs11553742, rs7576247, and rs3828329, using a predesigned TaqMan SNP genotyping assay. Classical ACP1 alleles (*A, *B and *C) were imputed with SNP data.

Results

No association between ACP1 gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to RA was observed. However, when RA patients were stratified according to the presence or absence of CV events, an association between rs11553742*T and CV events was found (P = 0.012, odds ratio (OR) = 2.62 (1.24 to 5.53)). Likewise, the ACP1*C allele showed evidence of association with CV events in patients with RA (P = 0.024, OR = 2.43).

Conclusions

Our data show that the ACP1*C allele influences the risk of CV events in patients with RA.  相似文献

To determine whether the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-receptor associated factor 1/complement component 5 (TRAF1/C5) polymorphism (rs10818488) confers susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematous (SLE), a meta-analysis was performed. A total of 11 studies with 17 comparisons (11 for RA, 6 for SLE) were available for this meta-analysis, which consisted of 13,456 patients, 12,259 controls for RA and 1,894 patients, 6,729 controls for SLE. A significant association of the A allele of TRAF1/C5 polymorphism (rs10818488) with RA susceptibility was detected in the North Africa population (OR = 1.557, 95% CI: 1.225–1.977). Furthermore, the association between this allelic variant and SLE risk was additionally found in population of European (OR = 1.247, 95% CI: 1.060–1.466). Analysis also showed the A/G allelic frequency of TRAF1/C5 variant (rs10818488), in different healthy populations, had a different distribution (χ2 = 269.41, P < 0.001). Taken together, our study demonstrates that the TRAF1/C5 polymorphism (rs10818488) may confer susceptibility to RA in North Africa population, and in European population, it might be a contributory factor towards SLE.  相似文献

Studies investigating the association between interleukin-13 (IL-13) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1800925 and allergic rhinitis risk have reported conflicting results. The aim of the present study was to conduct a meta-analysis assessing the possible association of IL-13 SNP rs1800925 with allergic rhinitis risk. The relevant studies were identified through a search of PubMed, Embase, ISI Web of Knowledge and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure until December 2011 and selected on the basis of the established inclusion criteria for publications. Five studies were included in the present meta-analysis (1411 cases and 3169 controls). The combined results based on all studies showed that IL-13 SNP rs1800925 was not associated with increased allergic rhinitis risk (T versus C: odds ratio (OR)=1.06, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.94-1.20; C/T versus C/C: OR=1.12, 95% CI=0.97-1.29; T/T versus C/C: OR=1.00, 95% CI=0.69-1.44; C/T+T/T versus CC: OR=1.10, 95% CI=0.96-1.27; T/T versus C/C+C/T: OR=0.91, 95% CI=0.64-1.31). This meta-analysis supported that IL-13 SNP rs1800925 was not associated with allergic rhinitis.  相似文献

Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease that depends on the interplay of several factors. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in host immune related genes have been consistently suggested as participants in susceptibility towards disease. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a crucial immunomodulatory cytokine in mycobacterial pathogenesis and especially the -819C>T SNP (rs1800871) has been tested in several case-control studies indicating association with leprosy risk, although a recent consensus estimate is still missing. In this study, we evaluated the association of the -819C>T SNP and leprosy in two new Brazilian family-based populations. Then, we performed meta-analysis for this polymorphism summarizing published studies including these Brazilian family-based groups. Finally, we also retrieved published studies for other distal and proximal IL10 polymorphisms: -3575 T>A (rs1800890), -2849 G>A (rs6703630), -2763 C>A (rs6693899), -1082 G>A (rs1800896) and -592 C>A (rs1800872). Results from meta-analysis supported a significant susceptibility association for the -819T allele, with pooled Odds Ratio of 1.22 (CI = 1.11–1.34) and P-value = 3x10–5 confirming previous data. This result remained unaltered after inclusion of the Brazilian family-based groups (OR = 1.2, CI = 1.10–1.31, P-value = 2x10–5). Also, meta-analysis confirmed association of -592 A allele and leprosy outcome (OR = 1.24, CI = 1.03–1.50, P-value = 0.02). In support of this, linkage disequilibrium analysis in 1000 genomes AFR, EUR, ASN and AMR populations pointed to r2 = 1.0 between the -592C>A and -819C>T SNPs. We found no evidence of association for the other IL10 polymorphisms analyzed for leprosy outcome. Our results reinforce the role of the -819C>T as a tag SNP (rs1800871) and its association with leprosy susceptibility.  相似文献
