Choline acetyltransferase (CHAT) rs3810950 and rs2177369 polymorphisms have been implicated in susceptibility to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Due to the inconsistent results from previous studies, a meta-analysis was performed to estimate the association between these polymorphisms and AD risk more precisely. Pooled results of our meta-analysis indicated CHAT rs2177369 polymorphism was correlated with decreasing AD risk in one of five genetic models (dominant: OR = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.62-0.96), while rs3810950 mutant was associated with AD development in three models (allelic: OR = 1.18, 95% CI: 1.01-1.37, homozygous: OR = 1.63, 95% CI: 1.09-2.42, and recessive: OR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.20-2.26). In subgroup analysis by ethnicity, the association between CHAT rs3810950 polymorphism and AD risk was just found in the recessive model (OR = 1.47, 95% CI: 1.05-2.07) among Caucasians, while four genetic models (allelic: OR = 1.23, 95% CI: 1.01-1.48; homozygous: OR = 2.24, 95% CI: 1.48-3.39; dominant: OR = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.06-1.40; and recessive: OR = 2.18, 95% CI: 1.45-3.29) assumed this association in Asians. In conclusion, our meta-analysis indicated CHAT rs2177369 polymorphism might play a protective role in AD, while rs3810950 variant was a risk factor for AD but its single heterozygous mutations might not influence susceptibility to AD.
胆碱乙酰转移酶(CHAT)rs3810950 和 rs2177369 多态性与阿尔茨海默病(AD)易感性有关。由于先前研究的结果不一致,因此进行了荟萃分析以更准确地估计这些多态性与 AD 风险之间的关联。我们荟萃分析的汇总结果表明,CHAT rs2177369 多态性与五种遗传模型之一中的 AD 风险降低相关(显性:OR=0.77,95%CI:0.62-0.96),而 rs3810950 突变型与三种模型中的 AD 发病相关(等位基因:OR=1.18,95%CI:1.01-1.37,纯合子:OR=1.63,95%CI:1.09-2.42,和隐性:OR=1.65,95%CI:1.20-2.26)。按种族进行亚组分析时,仅在白种人中发现 CHAT rs3810950 多态性与 AD 风险之间存在隐性模型相关(OR=1.47,95%CI:1.05-2.07),而四个遗传模型(等位基因:OR=1.23,95%CI:1.01-1.48;纯合子:OR=2.24,95%CI:1.48-3.39;显性:OR=1.21,95%CI:1.06-1.40;和隐性:OR=2.18,95%CI:1.45-3.29)假定亚洲人群中存在这种关联。总之,我们的荟萃分析表明,CHAT rs2177369 多态性可能在 AD 中起保护作用,而 rs3810950 变体是 AD 的危险因素,但单个杂合突变可能不会影响 AD 的易感性。
