ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Recent studies have identified 10q24-rs17095355 as a susceptibility locus for biliary atresia (BA). To more precisely estimate the association between the rs17095355 polymorphism and BA risk, a meta-analysis was performed.METHODS:
A comprehensive search was conducted to examine all the eligible studies by electronic databases including Elsevier Science Direct, Pubmed, Google Scholar, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Chinese Biomedical Literature (CBM) up to December 2015. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the strength of the association.RESULTS:
A total of 6 comparisons from 5 relevant studies involving 1000 patients and 3257 controls were included to analyze the association between rs17095355 and BA risk. The pooled OR for T allele of rs17095355 was 1.72 (95%CI 1.53-1.92, p < 0.01) in BA. Stratification by ethnicity indicated the degree of risk of rs17095355 with BA susceptibility was similar in populations of Asian origin. The pooled OR was 1.81 (95%CI 1.60-2.06, p < 0.01).CONCLUSIONS:
This meta-analysis confirms the association of rs17095355 polymorphism and BA development, especially in Asians. More original studies with large sample are needed to replicate this genetic association in different ethnic groups.Key words
