Previous studies have reached different conclusions regarding an association between apolipoprotein E (APOE) polymorphisms and depression. This meta-analysis was designed to clarify these controversies.
Literatures were identified reviewing the national and international databases. The eligible articles for meta-analysis were determined by quality assessment and implementation of inclusion/exclusion criteria. This meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.2 software. The odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95% confidence interval (CIs) were calculated using a fixed effects model. Funnel plots and Egger's regression tests were used to assess the publication bias.
A total of nine studies that met the inclusion criteria were identified by performing a comprehensive search on the association between APOE polymorphisms and depression. ε4 allele was significantly associated with depression (allele: OR=1.36, 95%CI=1.11-1.66, =0.003; dominant: OR=1.34, 95%CI=1.06-1.68, =0.001; recessive: OR= 1.11, 95%CI =0.45-2.76, P=0.82). HAMD scores were higher in depression patients with- ε4 genotype than who without- ε4 genotype (OR=0.96, 95%CI=0.16-1.76, =0.02).
ε4 allele increased the depression risk; depressive patients carrying ε4 allele had more severe depressive symptoms.
既往研究对于载脂蛋白E(APOE)基因多态性与抑郁症之间的关联得出了不同结论。本荟萃分析旨在澄清这些争议。
通过检索国内外数据库来识别文献。通过质量评估和纳入/排除标准的实施来确定符合荟萃分析条件的文章。本荟萃分析使用Review Manager 5.2软件进行。采用固定效应模型计算比值比(OR)及其相应的95%置信区间(CI)。采用漏斗图和Egger回归检验评估发表偏倚。
通过对APOE基因多态性与抑郁症之间的关联进行全面检索,共识别出9项符合纳入标准的研究。ε4等位基因与抑郁症显著相关(等位基因:OR = 1.36,95%CI = 1.11 - 1.66,P = 0.003;显性:OR = 1.34,95%CI = 1.06 - 1.68,P = 0.001;隐性:OR = 1.11,95%CI = 0.45 - 2.76,P = 0.82)。ε4基因型的抑郁症患者的汉密尔顿抑郁量表(HAMD)评分高于非ε4基因型患者(OR = 0.96,95%CI = 0.16 - 1.76,P = 0.02)。
ε4等位基因增加了抑郁症风险;携带ε4等位基因的抑郁症患者有更严重的抑郁症状。
