A number of case-control studies have been conducted to clarify the association between ApoE polymorphisms and myocardial infarction (MI); however, the results are inconsistent. This meta-analysis was performed to clarify this issue using all the available evidence. Searching in PubMed retrieved all eligible articles. A total of 33 studies were included in this meta-analysis, including 18752 MI cases and 18963 controls. The pooled analysis based on all included studies showed that the MI patients had a decreased frequency of the ε2 allele (OR = 0.78, 95% CI = 0.70-0.87) and an increased frequency of the ε4 allele (OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.10-1.20); The results also showed a decreased susceptibility of MI in the ε2ε3 vs. ε3ε3 analysis (OR = 0.79, 95% CI = 0.68-0.90) and in the ε2 vs. ε3 analysis (OR = 0.78, 95% CI = 0.69-0.89), an increased susceptibility of MI in the ε3ε4 vs. ε3ε3 analysis (OR = 1.26, 95% CI = 1.12-1.41), in the ε4 vs. ε3 analysis (OR = 1.22, 95% CI = 1.12-1.32) and in the ε4ε4 vs. ε3ε3 analysis (OR = 1.59, 95% CI = 1.15-2.19). However, there were no significant associations among polymorphisms and MI for the following genetic models: frequency of the ε3 allele (OR = 0.99, 95% CI = 0.96-1.02); ε2ε2 vs. ε3ε3 analysis (OR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.40-1.32); or ε2ε4 vs. ε3ε3 analysis (OR = 1.10, 95% CI = 0.99-1.21). Our results suggested that the ε4 allele of ApoE is a risk factor for the development of MI and the ε2 allele of ApoE is a protective factor in the development of MI.
为了阐明载脂蛋白E(ApoE)基因多态性与心肌梗死(MI)之间的关联,已经开展了多项病例对照研究;然而,结果并不一致。本荟萃分析旨在利用所有现有证据来阐明这一问题。通过在PubMed中检索获取了所有符合条件的文章。本荟萃分析共纳入33项研究,包括18752例MI病例和18963例对照。基于所有纳入研究的汇总分析表明,MI患者中ε2等位基因频率降低(比值比[OR]=0.78,95%置信区间[CI]=0.70 - 0.87),ε4等位基因频率升高(OR=1.15,95% CI=1.10 - 1.20);结果还显示,在ε2ε3与ε3ε3分析中MI易感性降低(OR=0.79,95% CI=0.68 - 0.90),在ε2与ε3分析中也降低(OR=0.78,95% CI=0.69 - 0.89),而在ε3ε4与ε3ε3分析中MI易感性升高(OR=1.26,95% CI=1.12 - 1.41),在ε4与ε3分析中升高(OR=1.22,95% CI=1.12 - 1.32),在ε4ε4与ε3ε3分析中升高(OR=1.59,95% CI=1.15 - 2.19)。然而,对于以下遗传模型,基因多态性与MI之间无显著关联:ε3等位基因频率(OR=0.99,95% CI=0.96 - 1.02);ε2ε2与ε3ε3分析(OR=0.73,95% CI=0.40 - 1.32);或ε2ε4与ε3ε3分析(OR=1.10,95% CI=0.99 - 1.21)。我们的结果表明,ApoE的ε4等位基因是MI发生的危险因素,而ApoE的ε2等位基因是MI发生的保护因素。
