ABSTRACT: Background/objective
Previous studies have shown that MPO -463G?>?A (rs2333227) might be associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) susceptibility, but sample sizes of those studies are relatively small. Hence, we decided to perform a meta-analysis to evaluate the association. Methods/main results: Two investigators search databases systematically and independently. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were used to pool the effect size. Four articles with 618 cases and 932 controls in total were included in our meta-analysis.Conclusions
MPO -463G?>?A was not associated with CKD susceptibility in recessive model and homozygote comparison. MPO -463G?>?A was associated with increased risk of CKD in allelic comparison, heterozygote comparison and dominant model, however, the results lacked stability. Owing to insufficient data, the association between MPO -463G?>?A and CKD cannot be fully confirmed.
