RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Published studies on association between IL12B (G/A) rs10045431, (T/C)rs6887695 polymorphisms and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) risk in Caucasian population have yielded conflicting results. The aim of this study was to potentially provide more reliable conclusions by conducting a meta-analysis. METHODS: Published studies concerned association between IL12B rs10045431, rs6887695 polymorphisms and IBD were searched from the Wiley Online Library, PubMed, Web of Science and the CNKI database. The odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated to evaluate the strength of the relationship. The false positive report probabilities (FPRPs) test and trial sequential analysis (TSA) was performed to investigated the reliability of results. RESULTS: A total of 20 studies comprising 10761 Crohn's disease (CD), 10921 ulcerative colitis (UC) and 18381 controls were included in this meta-analysis. Overall, the pooled results showed that IL12B rs6887695 polymorphism significantly increased both CD and UC risk under all model, while IL12B rs10045431 polymorphism dramatically decreased both CD and UC risk under all model. FPRP and TSA demonstrated that above associations was confirmed in the present study. CONCLUSION: The results of meta-analysis indicate IL12B rs10045431 and rs6887695 polymorphisms significantly associate with IBD in Caucasian population.

BACKGROUND: The results from previous studies on association between prostaglandin E receptor 4 (PTGER4) polymorphisms and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) risk in Caucasian were conflict. The present study aimed to investigate the genetic association by conducting a meta-analysis. METHODS: Systematic literature search was conducted through Wiley Online Library, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and PubMed databases. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to investigate the associations between rs4613763âT/C, 17234657T/G polymorphisms, and IBD risk in Caucasian. RESULTS: Twenty case-control studies consisting of 18,495 Crohn disease (CD) patients and 4203 ulcerative colitis (UC) patients, as well as 26,063 controls were included in this meta-analysis. The rs4613763T/C polymorphism had obvious influence on CD, UC risk in Caucasian. However, rs17234657T/G polymorphism had obvious influence on CD but not UC in Caucasian. CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis suggested that both the rs4613763âT/C, rs17234657T/G polymorphisms had obvious influence on risk of CD in Caucasian. In addition, rs4613763âT/C, polymorphism had obvious influence on risk of UC in Caucasian.
