Many studies have focused on the relationship between interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL1RN) gene 86-bp VNTR polymorphism and sepsis, but the results remain inconsistent. Thus, a meta-analysis was carried out to derive a more precise estimation of the association between IL1RN 86-bp VNTR polymorphism and risk of sepsis and sepsis-related mortality.
Relevant publications were searched in several widely used databases and six eligible studies were included in the meta-analysis. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to evaluate the strength of the association between IL1RN 86-bp VNTR polymorphism and risk of sepsis and sepsis-related mortality.
Significant associations between IL1RN 86-bp VNTR polymorphism and sepsis risk were observed in both overall meta-analysis for L2 versus 22 (OR=0.75, 95% CI=0.59-0.94) and severe sepsis subgroup for LL+L2 versus 22 (OR=0.67, 95% CI=0.47-0.93). L stands for long alleles containing three to six repeats; 2 stands for short allele containing two repeats. However, no significant sepsis mortality variation was detected for all genetic models.
According to the results of our meta-analysis, the IL1RN 86-bp VNTR polymorphism probably associates with sepsis risk but not with sepsis-related mortality.
许多研究聚焦于白细胞介素1受体拮抗剂(IL1RN)基因86-bp可变数目串联重复序列(VNTR)多态性与脓毒症之间的关系,但结果仍不一致。因此,进行了一项荟萃分析,以更精确地评估IL1RN 86-bp VNTR多态性与脓毒症风险及脓毒症相关死亡率之间的关联。
在几个广泛使用的数据库中检索相关出版物,六项符合条件的研究纳入荟萃分析。计算合并比值比(OR)和95%置信区间(CI),以评估IL1RN 86-bp VNTR多态性与脓毒症风险及脓毒症相关死亡率之间关联的强度。
在L2与22的总体荟萃分析(OR=0.75,95%CI=0.59-0.94)以及LL+L2与22的严重脓毒症亚组分析(OR=0.67,95%CI=0.47-0.93)中,均观察到IL1RN 86-bp VNTR多态性与脓毒症风险之间存在显著关联。L代表含有三至六个重复序列的长等位基因;2代表含有两个重复序列的短等位基因。然而,在所有遗传模型中均未检测到脓毒症死亡率的显著差异。
根据我们的荟萃分析结果,IL1RN 86-bp VNTR多态性可能与脓毒症风险相关,但与脓毒症相关死亡率无关。
