PPARG Pro12Ala Polymorphism with CKD in Asians: A Meta-Analysis Combined with a Case-Control Study-A Key for Reaching Null Association.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:So far, numerous meta-analyses have been published regarding the correlation between peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG) proline 12 alanine (Pro12Ala) gene polymorphism and chronic kidney disease (CKD); however, the results appear to be contradictory. Hence, this study is formulated with the objective of using existing meta-analysis data together with our research population to study the correlation between PPARG Pro12Ala gene polymorphism and CKD and evaluate whether an accurate result can be obtained. METHODS:First, literature related to CKD and PPARG Pro12Ala available on the PubMed and EMBASE databases up to December 2016 was gathered from 20 publications. Then, the gathered results were combined with our case-control study of 1693 enrolled subjects and a trial sequential analysis (TSA) was performed to verify existing evidence and determine whether a firm conclusion can be drawn. RESULTS:The TSA results showed that the cumulative sample size for the Asian sample was 6078 and was sufficient to support a definite result. The results of this study confirmed that there is no obvious correlation between PPARG Pro12Ala and CKD for Asians (OR = 0.82 (95% CI = 0.66-1.02), I2 = 63.1%), but this was not confirmed for Caucasians. Furthermore, the case-control sample in our study was shown to be the key for reaching this conclusion. CONCLUSIONS:The meta-analysis results of this study suggest no significant correlation between PPARG Pro12Ala gene polymorphism and CKD for Asians after adding our samples, but not for Caucasian.

Project description:BackgroundOsteoarthritis is an important health issue for the elderly. Many studies indicate that genetics is an important risk factor for osteoarthritis, and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 5 (ADAMTS5) is one gene that is most frequently implicated. Many recent studies have examined the relationship between a polymorphism in the ADAMTS5 gene (rs226794) and the risk for developing osteoarthritis without definitive results.ObjectiveIn this case-control study, we examined the correlation between the ADAMTS5 gene polymorphism, rs226794, and knee osteoarthritis. We used a meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis to determine whether ADAMTS5 rs226794 expression increases susceptibility to osteoarthritis.MethodsThis study consisted of two parts: a case-control study and a meta-analysis. The case-control study included subjects who underwent knee radiography at the Health Examination Center of the Tri Service General Hospital from 2015 to 2019. The Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grading system was used as diagnostic criteria. Patients with unsuccessful gene sequencing were excluded. There were 606 subjects in the knee osteoarthritis group (KL ≥ 2) and 564 in the control group (KL < 2). Gene sequencing was performed using iPLEX Gold to determine the association between the gene polymorphism of ADAMTS5 rs226794 and knee osteoarthritis. For the meta-analysis, databases such as PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane were queried to identify studies that examined the relationship between ADAMTS5 rs226794 and osteoarthritis. Next, the findings of the meta-analysis were incorporated with the results of the case-control study and samples from the published studies to estimate the association between the genetic polymorphism and osteoarthritis using an odds ratio and a 95% confidence interval.ResultsWe found a non-significant association between the G allele and knee OA (crude-OR: 0.93 (95% CI: 0.79-1.10) and adjusted-OR: 1.02 (95% CI: 0.76-1.36) in the allele model) in the present study, and the analysis of other genetic models revealed a similar trend. After including five published studies and our case-control study, the results with 2866 Asians indicated a conclusively null association between ADAMTS5 rs226794 and knee OA) OR: 1.09 (95% CI: 0.93-1.26). The results for Caucasians also revealed a null association (OR: 1.21 (95% CI: 0.81-1.82)).ConclusionsThis study indicates that the gene polymorphism, ADAMTS5 rs226794, is not significantly associated with knee osteoarthritis. Additionally, assuming that the cumulative sample size in the allele model is sufficient, we confirmed that the G allele is not a risk factor for osteoarthritis. This study integrated all available evidence to arrive at this conclusion, and it suggests that no additional studies are necessary.
