The Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) I/D polymorphism has been indicated to be correlated with peripheral neuropathy (PN) susceptibility, but study results are still debatable. Thus, a meta-analysis was conducted. Databases including PubMed, Embase and CNKI were searched. Data were extracted and pooled odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Eight studies with 1430 cases and 1873 controls were included in this meta-analysis. The association between ACE I/D polymorphism and PN risk was significant (OR = 1.25; 95% CI 1.05-1.48; P = 0.01). When stratified by ethnicity, the significantly increased PN risk was observed in Caucasians (OR = 1.24; 95% CI 1.05-1.47; P = 0.01). In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggested that ACE I/D polymorphism was a risk factor for PN.
血管紧张素转换酶(ACE)I/D多态性已被表明与周围神经病变(PN)易感性相关,但研究结果仍存在争议。因此,进行了一项荟萃分析。检索了包括PubMed、Embase和中国知网在内的数据库。提取数据并计算合并比值比(OR)及95%置信区间(CI)。本荟萃分析纳入了8项研究,共1430例病例和1873例对照。ACE I/D多态性与PN风险之间的关联具有显著性(OR = 1.25;95% CI 1.05 - 1.48;P = 0.01)。按种族分层时,在白种人中观察到PN风险显著增加(OR = 1.24;95% CI 1.05 - 1.47;P = 0.01)。总之,本荟萃分析表明ACE I/D多态性是PN的一个危险因素。
