Meta-analysis of associations between DLG5 R30Q and P1371Q polymorphisms and susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease.

ABSTRACT: Growing evidence from recent studies has demonstrated an association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) susceptibility and two polymorphisms of DLG5 R30Q (rs1248696) and P1371Q (rs2289310), but the results remain controversial. We conducted a meta-analysis including a total of 22 studies with 10,878 IBD patients and 7917 healthy controls for R30Q and 5277 IBD cases and 4367 controls for P1371Q in order to systematically assess their association with the disease. The results indicated that R30Q was significantly associated with reduced susceptibility to IBD in Europeans by allelic and dominant comparisons, but not in overall population. No significant association was found between R30Q and Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC). P1371Q was associated with increased risk of IBD in Europeans and Americans. On the contrary, a decreased risk of IBD was observed in Asian population for P1371Q. In disease subgroup analysis, we found that P1371Q was also significantly associated with CD, but this relationship was not present for UC. In conclusion, our results strongly suggest that the both polymorphisms of DLG5 are correlated with IBD susceptibility in an ethnic-specific manner. Additional well-designed studies with large and diverse cohorts are needed to further strengthen our findings.
