ABSTRACT: Objective
Ser9Gly (rs6280) is a functional single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the dopamine receptor D3 (DRD3) gene that may be associated with schizophrenia. We performed a meta-analysis to determine whether Ser9Gly influences the risk of schizophrenia and examined the relationship between the Ser9Gly SNP and the etiology of schizophrenia.Methods
Case-control studies were retrieved from literature databases in accordance with established inclusion criteria. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to evaluate the strength of the association between Ser9Gly and schizophrenia. Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were also performed.Results
Seventy-three studies comprising 10,634 patients with schizophrenia (cases) and 11,258 controls were included in this meta-analysis. Summary results indicated no association between Ser9Gly and risk of schizophrenia. In the dominant genetic model, the pooled OR using a random effects model was 0.950 (95% CI, 0.847-1.064; P=0.374).Conclusion
Results of this meta-analysis suggest that the Ser9Gly SNP is not associated with schizophrenia. These data provide possible avenues for future case-control studies related to schizophrenia.
