IL-10, IL-18 Gene Polymorphisms Might Influence Predisposition to Coronary Artery Disease in East Asians: A Meta-Analysis

, &
 

ABSTRACT

The results of already published studies regarding relationship between interleukin-10 (IL-10), interleukin-18 (IL-18) polymorphisms and predisposition to coronary artery disease (CAD) were still controversial. So the authors designed this meta-analysis to more precisely estimate relationship between IL-10, IL-18 polymorphisms and CAD by pooling the results of already published studies. The authors searched Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science and CNKI for already published studies. The authors used Review Manager to pool the results of already published studies. Thirty-four studies were pooled analyzed in this meta-analysis. The pooled meta-analyses results showed that IL-18 rs187238, IL-18 rs1946518 and IL-18 rs1946519 polymorphisms were all significantly associated with predisposition to CAD in the general population. We also detected similar significant results for IL-10 rs1800871, IL-10 rs1800896, IL-18 rs187238 and IL-18 rs1946518 polymorphisms in East Asians in further subgroup analyses. In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggested that IL-10 rs1800871, IL-10 rs1800896, IL-18 rs187238 and IL-18 rs1946518 polymorphisms might influence predisposition to CAD in East Asians.
