Association between rs1800795 polymorphism in the interleukin-6 gene and the risk of polycystic ovary syndrome: A meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Several published articles have investigated the association between the -174?G/C (rs1800795) polymorphism in the interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene and the risk of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, the results were inconsistent. In the present study, a meta-analysis was performed to resolve this inconsistency.Eligible studies reporting an association between the IL-6 rs1800795 polymorphism and PCOS susceptibility were included from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library up to December 1, 2017. The odds ratio (OR) with the 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to calculate the strength of the associations. Publication bias detection was conducted using Begg test. We used STATA 11.0 software to perform the statistical analyses.Six articles detailing case-control studies were included, reporting a total of 512 cases and 606 controls. The meta-analysis results indicated that rs1800795 was associated with decreased PCOS susceptibility in the overall population under the allelic model (G vs. C, OR?=?0.59, 95% CI: 0.41-0.85, P?=?.005), the homozygous model (GG vs. CC, OR?=?0.45, 95% CI: 0.28-0.73, P?=?.001), heterozygous model (GG vs. CG, OR?=?0.50, 95% CI: 0.26-0.95, P?=?.036), and the dominant model (GC?+?CC vs. GG, OR?=?0.48, 95% CI: 0.26-0.89, P?=?.020). However, a threshold P value of .05 was found under the recessive model (CC vs. GG?+?CG, OR?=?0.62, 95% CI: 0.39-1.00).This meta-analysis concluded that IL-6 rs1800795 polymorphism has a decreased association with PCOS risk among all populations studied. The results suggested that the IL-6 rs1800795 polymorphism is a protective factor for PCOS susceptibility. Given the limited ethnic groups and sample size, further studies are required to validate the association.

Project description:The associations between TNF-? and Interleukin gene polymorphisms and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) risk have been studied in numerous epidemiological studies, but the results remain controversial. To investigate whether these polymorphisms facilitate susceptibility to PCOS, we conducted a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis.PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Medline, CNKI, and Google Scholar were searched to obtain the genetic association studies according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Odds ratios (OR) with corresponding 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were used to assess the strengths of the associations. Funnel plots and Egger's tests were performed to test for possible publication bias. All statistical analyses were performed using Review Manager 5.2 and STATA11.0.Eighteen articles were included in the final meta-analysis. The studies involved the following polymorphisms: TNF-? -308G?>?A, TNF-? -805C>T, TNF-? -1031 T>C, IL-1A -889C>T, IL-1B -511C>T, IL-1B +3953 T>C, IL-6 -174G>C, IL-10 -819C>T, IL-10 -1082A>G, IL-18 -607C>A, and IL-18 -137G>C. Our results show a significant association between PCOS risk and the TNF-? -1031 T>C polymorphism (For TC+CC vs. TT: OR=2.09, 95 % CI=1.58-2.76, p<0.0001. For C allele vs. T allele: OR=1.67, 95 % CI=1.33-2.09, p<0.0001) and between PCOS risk and the IL-6 -174>C polymorphism (For CC+GC vs. GG: OR=0.49, 95 % CI=0.25-0.95, p=0.03. For CC vs. GG: OR=0.48, 95 % CI=0.28-0.80, p=0.005. For C vs. G: OR=0.60, 95 % CI=0.42-0.87, p=0.007). No associations were found with the other genetic models.The results of the meta-analysis suggest positive associations between the TNF-? -1031 T>C and IL-6 -174G>C polymorphisms and the risk of PCOS. No associations are found between PCOS risk and the TNF-? -308G>A, TNF-? -805C>T, IL-1A -889C>T, IL-1B -511C>T, IL-1B +3953C>T, IL-10 -819C>T, IL-10 -1082 A>G, IL-18 -607C>A, and IL-18 -137G>C polymorphisms. However, due to the heterogeneity and low quality of the studies related to PCOS polymorphisms in the meta-analysis, the results should be interpreted with caution. Future multi-ethnicity studies of homogeneous populations of PCOS patients with larger sample sizes and well-matched controls are needed.
