Several studies have examined the associations of polymorphism in interleukin-6 (IL6) with fracture risk. However, the results were conflicting. Thus, a meta-analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between IL6-174C/G polymorphism and risk of fracture. Databases including PubMed, EMBASE, Wanfang were searched. Summary odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using random-effects models. Six studies were included in this meta-analysis. IL6-174C/G polymorphism was associated with a significantly increased risk of fracture (OR=1.32; 95% CI, 1.10-1.58; I(2) =11%; Figure 1). In the subgroup analysis according to gender, women (RR=1.26; 95% CI, 1.09-1.46; I(2) =0%) was significantly associated with risk of fracture. In the age subgroup analysis, old population (RR=1.27; 95% CI, 1.11-1.48; I(2) =0%) showed increased fracture risk. However, young population did show increased risk of fracture (RR=1.95; 95% CI, 0.70-5.47; I(2) =51%). Postmenopausal women also showed an increased fracture risks (RR=1.24; 95% CI, 1.08-1.44; I(2) =0%). This meta-analysis suggested that IL6-174C/G polymorphism contributed the development of fracture.
多项研究探讨了白细胞介素-6(IL6)基因多态性与骨折风险之间的关联。然而,研究结果相互矛盾。因此,进行了一项荟萃分析以确定IL6 - 174C/G基因多态性与骨折风险之间的关系。检索了包括PubMed、EMBASE、万方在内的数据库。使用随机效应模型估计汇总比值比(OR)和相应的95%置信区间(CI)。本荟萃分析纳入了六项研究。IL6 - 174C/G基因多态性与骨折风险显著增加相关(OR = 1.32;95% CI,1.10 - 1.58;I² = 11%;图1)。在按性别进行的亚组分析中,女性(RR = 1.26;95% CI,1.09 - 1.46;I² = 0%)与骨折风险显著相关。在年龄亚组分析中,老年人群(RR = 1.27;95% CI,1.11 - 1.48;I² = 0%)骨折风险增加。然而,年轻人群并未显示出骨折风险增加(RR = 1.95;95% CI,0.70 - 5.47;I² = 51%)。绝经后女性也显示出骨折风险增加(RR = 1.24;95% CI,1.08 - 1.44;I² = 0%)。这项荟萃分析表明,IL6 - 174C/G基因多态性促成了骨折的发生。
