Association Between Interleukin‐4 Gene −590 C/T, −33 C/T, and 70‐Base‐Pair Polymorphisms and Periodontitis Susceptibility: A Meta‐Analysis

Abstract: Based on current evidence, the IL-4 -33 C/T and 70-bp polymorphisms were not associated with an increased risk of periodontitis. However, the IL-4 -590 T allele and TT genotype were associated with increased risk of periodontitis in whites.

“…As a result, the preciseness of true associations might be reduced, and subgroup analyses based on smoking status, gender, and ethnicity failed to be conducted due to lack of information. Second, the heterogeneity under some genetic models was significant, which also the case was found in the subgroup analyses (Table 2) although heterogeneity is a common phenomenon observed in the meta-analysis of genetic association studies [1618, 30–40]. We also performed subgroup analyses to explore the origin of heterogeneity and found that it was not from clinical factors; in other words, the heterogeneity was just in the statistical level.…”

“…Many studies have previously investigated the association between TNF-α G-308A polymorphism and MI risk, but have yielded inconsistent results. Meta-analysis is a useful method to combine various single studies to obtain a larger sample size (Bax et al, 2007;Zeng et al, 2015a), and has been widely used in genetic association studies (Leng et al, 2013;Mao et al, 2013;Yan et al, 2014;Suo et al, 2015;Zeng et al, 2015b). In the present study, we performed a metaanalysis to evaluate the association between TNF-α G-308A polymorphism and MI risk.…”

“…The value of I 2 ≤ 40% was considered no substantive heterogeneity existed, so the fixed effect model was employed; otherwise, the random-effects model was used [49]. The OR and 95% CI were calculated for estimating the association between XRCC1 Arg194Trp polymorphism and glioma under the following common used five genetic models [5053]: allele comparison (Trp vs. Arg), homozygote comparison (TrpTrp vs. ArgArg), heterozygote comparison (ArgTrp vs. ArgArg), dominant model (TrpTrp+ArgTrp vs. ArgArg), and recessive model (TrpTrp vs. ArgArg+ArgTrp), respectively. The subgroups analyses based on the ethnicity, source of controls, and the HWE for controls were performed to explore the potential source of heterogeneity among studies.…”

“…The publication bias was detected by funnel plot analysis and the Egger linear regression test [54]. All the analyses were performed using the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software, version 2.2 (Biostat, Englewood, New Jersey) [50, 52, 53] and all the p values were two-sided.…”
