The association of TNF-? -308G/A and -238G/A polymorphisms with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) is involved in insulin resistance and has long been a candidate gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), however the association between TNF-? polymorphisms -308G/A and -238G/A and T2DM remains controversial. The present study sought to verify associations between these polymorphisms and T2DM susceptibility using a meta-analysis approach. A total of 49 case-control studies were selected up to October 2018. Statistical analyses were performed by STATA 15.0 software. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals were calculated to estimate associations. Meta-analyses revealed significant associations between TNF-? -308G/A and T2DM in the allele model (P=0.000); the dominant model (P=0.000); the recessive model (P=0.001); the overdominant model (P=0.008) and the codominant model (P=0.000). Subgroup analyses also showed associations in the allele model (P=0.006); the dominant model (P=0.004) and the overdominant model (P=0.005) in the Caucasian and in the allele model (P=0.007); the dominant model (P=0.014); the recessive model (P=0.000) and the codominant model (P=0.000) in the Asian. There were no associations between TNF-? -238G/A and T2DM in the overall and subgroup populations. Meta-regression, sensitivity analysis and publication bias analysis confirmed that results and data were statistically robust. Our meta-analysis suggests that TNF-? -308G/A is a risk factor for T2DM in Caucasian and Asian populations. It also indicates that TNF-? -238G/A may not be a risk factor for T2DM. More comprehensive studies will be required to confirm these associations.

Project description:Background:Multiple studies have been carried out examining the association of tumor necrosis factor-? gene (TNF-?) promoter region polymorphisms with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) risk. However, the results remain controversial and incomplete. Hence, we performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the association of the TNF-? -308G>A and -238G>A polymorphisms with RPL risk. Materials and Methods:In this meta-analysis, a comprehensive search of PubMed, Web of Knowledge and EMBASE was performed to identify relevant studies published until December 1, 2017. The associations were assessed by odds ratio (OR) and its corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI). Results:A total of 29 case-control studies, comprising 20 studies on TNF-? -308G>A (3,461 cases and 3,895 controls) and nine studies on TNF-? -238G>A (2,589 cases and 2,664 controls), were included in the meta-analysis. Overall, we found TNF-? -308G>A to be associated with an increase in RPL risk under the homozygote (OR=1.716, 95% CI: 1.210-2.433, P=0.002) and the recessive (OR=1.554, 95% CI: 1.100-2.196, P=0.012) models. TNF-? -238G>A was also significantly associated with increased risk of RPL under the allele model (OR=1.554, 95% CI: 1.100-2.196, P=0.012). Stratified analysis revealed a more significant association between theTNF-? -308G>A polymorphism and increased RPL risk in Asians under the homozygote (OR=2.190, 95% CI: 1.465-3.274, P?0.001), the dominant (OR=1.642, 95% CI: 1.269-2.125, P?0.001) and the recessive (OR=1.456, 95% CI: 1.039-2.040, P=0.029) models, but not in Caucasians. A non-significant association was, however, identified between TNF-? -238G>A and RPL risk based on ethnicity. Moreover, TNF-? -308G>A and -238G>A polymorphisms were significantly associated with increased risk of RPL in high quality studies and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) subgroups. Conclusion:The present meta-analysis demonstrates that TNF-? -308G>A and -238G>A polymorphisms are associated with an increased risk of RPL.

Project description:Background:Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder with growing prevalence and increasing economic burden. Based on the role of genetics and epigenetic factors on T2DM, we aimed to carry a systematic review and meta-analysis for all miRNA gene polymorphisms and risk of T2DM. Materials and Methods:A computerized literature search was carried out on PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, as well as references of relevant review/meta-analysis. Key search terms were "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2," "MicroRNAs," and "Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide." All types of observational studies from January 1, 1992, to November 30, 2019, were included, without language restriction. Data analysis was performed using R programming language (3.5.2). Level of heterogeneity was obtained by Cochran's Q test (P < 0.05), and subgroup analysis was performed based on ethnicity. Results:Thirty-two polymorphisms from fifteen articles were included. Meta-analysis was carried out based on minor allele frequencies. Seven studies with 2193 cases and 3963 controls were included for rs2910164 polymorphism. In subgroup analysis, there were significant results in Caucasian population in dominant model (odds ratio [OR] =1.12; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.83-1.51), homozygote model (OR = 1.78; 95% CI: 1.06-3.00), heterozygote model (OR = 1.77; 95% CI: 1.03-3.05), and recessive model (OR = 1.78; 95% CI: 1.07-2.96). Four studies with 2085 cases and 1933 controls were included for rs895819 polymorphism. Overall, there was no significant result for association with rs895819, but subgroup analysis revealed that minor allele significantly decreased the risk of T2DM in Caucasians by recessive model (OR = 0.34; 95% CI: 0.18-0.66), dominant model (OR = 0.70; 95% CI: 0.52-0.94), homozygote model (OR = 0.32; 95% CI: 0.16-0.62), heterozygote model (OR = 0.37; 95% CI: 0.19-0.74), allelic model (OR = 0.67; 95% CI: 0.52-0.85). Conclusion:The minor allele of rs2910164 may increase the risk of T2DM by leading to lower level of miR-146a. In contrast, minor allele of rs895819 may decrease the risk of T2DM by leading to higher level of miR-27a.
