Association between IL-13 +1923C/T polymorphism and asthma risk: a meta-analysis based on 26 case-control studies.

ABSTRACT: Asthma is a serious and hereditary respiratory disorder affecting all age groups. Interleukin-13 (IL-13) is a central regulator of allergic inflammation. The purpose of the present study was to estimate the relationship between IL-13 +1923C/T polymorphism and asthma susceptibility. Relevant case-control studies published between January 2000 and July 2016 were searched in the online databases. Review Manage (RevMan) 5.3 was used to conduct the statistical analysis. The pooled odds ratio (OR) with its 95% confidence interval (CI) was employed to calculate the strength of association. A total of 26 articles were retrieved, including 17642 asthma patients and 42402 controls. Overall, our results found that IL-13 +1923C/T polymorphism was significantly associated with increased risk of asthma under each genetic model (P<0.00001). Subgroup analysis by ethnicity showed that alleles and genotypes of this variant correlated with asthma among Asians and Caucasians, but only TT genotype under the homozygote model in Africans. When stratified by age group, this variant highly correlated with asthma in children and moderately in adults. Furthermore, the TT, CT and CC genotypes in asthma group were all significantly associated with increased IgE levels in sera of asthma patients when compared with controls. Our results suggested that IL-13 +1923C/T polymorphism contributed to the development of asthma. Further case-control studies with more ethnicities are still needed.

Project description:Several studies have inspected the relationship between rs735482 polymorphism and the risk of some human cancers, but the findings remain controversial. We designed this meta-analysis to validate the association between rs735482 polymorphism and cancer risk. All articles were published before September 1, 2018 and searched in Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WangFang, and Chinese BioMedical databases, STATA 12.0 software was used for statistical analysis, which provides reasonable data and technical support for this article. A total of 10 studies were included in the meta-analysis, including 2652 cancer cases and 3536 rs735482 polymorphic controls. Data were directly extracted from these studies and odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were computed to estimate the strength of the association. By pooling all eligible studies, the rs735482 polymorphism showed no significant association with susceptibility of several cancers in all the five genetic models (the allelic model: OR = 1.019, 95% CI: 0.916-1.134, P = .731). In addition, another adjusted OR data showed a significant increased risk between the rs735482 and susceptibility of several cancers (the codominant model BB vs AA: OR = 1.353, 95% CI: 1.033-1.774, P = .028) and the stratification analysis by ethnicity indicated the rs735482 is associated with an increased risk of cancer in Chinese group (BB vs AA, OR = 1.391, 95% CI = 1.054-1.837, P = .020; AB+BB vs AA OR = 1.253, 95% CI = 1.011-1.551, P = .039). However, the ERCC1 rs735482 is associated with a decreased risk of cancer in Italian group (AB vs AA, OR = 0.600, 95% CI = 0.402-0.859, P = .012; AB + BB vs AA, OR = 0.620, 95% CI = 0.424-0.908, P = .014). The results of this meta-analysis do not support the association between rs735482 polymorphism and cancer risk. But stratified analysis showed that rs735482 significantly increased the risk of cancer in Chinese while decreased the risk of cancer in Italian. Because of the limited number of samples, larger and well-designed researches are needed to estimate this association in detail.
