Abstract
OBJECTIVE
We explored whether cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) rs5742909, CD226 rs763361, FAS rs1800682, and FASL rs763110 polymorphisms are associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
METHODS
We performed a meta-analysis on the association between the four gene polymorphisms and RA.
RESULTS
Nineteen studies were included in the meta-analysis. Meta-analysis of all study subjects showed no association between RA and the CTLA-4 rs5742909 T allele (OR=1.057, 95% CI=0.782-1.429, p=0.719). However, the meta-analysis revealed an association between RA and the CD226 rs763361 T allele in all study subjects (OR=1.294, 95% CI=1.063-1.576, p=0.010), and an association was found between the CD226 rs763361 TT genotype and RA in Asians (OR=1.363, 95% CI=1.126-1.651, p=0.001). Meta-analysis showed no association between RA and the FAS rs1800682 G/A polymorphism. However, meta-analysis revealed an association between RA and the FASL rs763110 T allele in all study subjects (OR=1.366, 95% CI=1.093-1.707, p=0.006) and in Asians (OR=1.402, 95% CI=1.059-1.855, p=0.014).
CONCLUSIONS
Our meta-analysis demonstrates that the CD226 rs763361 and FASL rs763110 polymorphisms are associated with RA, especially in Asians.
