Association between the DRD2 TaqIA gene polymorphism and Parkinson disease risk: an updated meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:DRD2 TaqIA polymorphism may be associated with an increased risk of developing Parkinson disease (PD). However, the individual study's results are still inconsistent. METHODS:A meta-analysis of 4232 cases and 4774 controls from 14 separate studies were performed to explore the possible relationship between the DRD2 TaqIA gene polymorphism and PD. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) for the association and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were evaluated by a fixed-effect model. RESULTS:The pooled results revealed a significant association between DRD2 gene TaqIA polymorphism under recessive genetic model (OR: 0.91, 95% CI:0.83,0.99, P?=?.031) and additive genetic models (OR:0.93,95%CI:0.87,0.99, P?=?.032), but not associated with PD susceptibility under other genetic models in the whole population. Moreover, subgroups based on ethnicity and genotyping methods showed this association in the Caucasian subgroup under recessive genetic model (OR: 0.85, 95% CI:0.76,0.95, P?=?.003) and additive genetic models (OR:0.87,95%CI:0.79,0.96, P?=?.004) were existed. Besides, no significant association was detected under 6 genetic models in the Asian populations and PCR-RFLP subgroup. CONCLUSIONS:The current meta-analysis suggested that a significant association between DRD2 TaqIA polymorphism and PD under the recessive genetic mode, and additive genetic models, especially in Caucasians.

Project description:BackgroundGenetic factors are important in the pathogenesis of Tourette syndrome (TS). Notably, Dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) gene has been suggested as a possible candidate gene for this disorder. Several studies have demonstrated that DRD2/ANKK1 TaqIA polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of developing TS. However, past results remain conflicting. We addressed this controversy by performing a meta-analysis of the relationship between DRD2/ANKK1 TaqIA polymorphism and TS.MethodsLiterature was searched in multiple databases including PUBMED, COCHRANE and WEB OF SCIENCE up to July 2014. The number of the genotypes for DRD2/ANKK1 TaqIA in the TS and control subjects was extracted and statistical analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.0.16 and Stata 12.0 software. Summary odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) were utilized to calculate the risk of TS with DRD2/ANKK1 TaqIA. Stratified analysis based on ethnicity was also conducted.Results523 patients with TS, 564 controls and 87 probands plus 152 relatives from five published studies were finally involved in this meta-analysis. Combined analysis revealed that the overall ORs for the DRD2/ANKK1 TaqIA A1 allele were 1.69 (95%CIs = 1.42-2.00) in the fixed-effect model and 1.66 (95%CIs = 1.33-2.08) in the random-effects model. Stratification by ethnicity indicated the TaqIA A1 allele was significantly associated with TS in Caucasians (fixed-effect model: OR=1.75, 95%CI = 1.43-2.16; random-effect model: OR=1.69, 95%CI = 1.25-2.28) and in Asians (OR=1.54, 95%CI = 1.12-2.10). Meta-analysis of the A1A1 vs. A2A2 (homozygous model), A1A2 vs. A2A2 (heterozygous model) and A1A1+A1A2 vs. A2A2 (dominant model) of this polymorphism revealed a significant association with TS in overall populations and Caucasians.ConclusionsThis meta-analysis suggested that the DRD2/ANKK1 TaqIA polymorphism might contribute to TS susceptibility, especially in Caucasian population. However, further investigation with a larger number of worldwide studies should be conducted to verify the association.
