FAS plays a critical role in the extrinsic apoptosis pathway in autoimmune diseases. Previous studies investigating the association between FAS gene -670 A/G and -1377 G/A polymorphisms and the risk of autoimmune diseases reported controversial results. We performed the meta-analysis to evaluate the possible association.
Relevant studies were identified by searching the PubMed, Embase, CNKI, and Wanfang databases up to December 2018. Odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to determine the association.
A total of 43 articles including 67 studies (52 studies for FAS -670 A/G and 15 studies for -1377 G/A) were included in the meta-analysis. Our meta-analysis showed that the FAS -670 A/G polymorphism was associated with the risk of autoimmune diseases (GG vs. GA: OR = 1.079, 95% CI = 1.004-1.160, P=0.038), especially in Caucasians (GG vs. GA: OR = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.03-1.23, P=0.012), Asians (G vs. A: OR = 0.89, 95% CI = 0.83-0.96, P=0.002), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (G vs. A: OR = 0.85, 95% CI = 0.77-0.94, P=0.001), multiple sclerosis (MS) (GG+GA vs. AA: OR = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.70-0.99, P=0.043), systemic sclerosis (SSc) (GG vs. GA: OR = 1.20, 95% CI = 1.07-1.36, P=0.003) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) (G vs. A: OR = 1.45, 95% CI = 1.10-1.90, P=0.008); the FAS -1377 G/A polymorphism was associated with the risk of autoimmune diseases (A vs. G: OR = 1.11, 95% CI = 1.03-1.20, P=0.008), especially in Asians (A vs. G: OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.05-1.25, P=0.002) and high quality studies (A vs. G: OR = 1.14, 95% CI = 1.05-1.24, P=0.002).
This meta-analysis demonstrated that the FAS -670A/G and -1377 G/A polymorphisms were associated with the risk of autoimmune diseases.
FAS 在自身免疫性疾病的外在凋亡途径中起着关键作用。之前研究 Fas 基因 -670A/G 和 -1377G/A 多态性与自身免疫性疾病风险之间的关联的结果存在争议。我们进行了荟萃分析来评估这种关联的可能性。
通过检索 PubMed、Embase、CNKI 和万方数据库,我们找到了截至 2018 年 12 月的相关研究。使用比值比(OR)和相应的 95%置信区间(CI)来计算关联。
共有 43 篇文章,包括 67 项研究(52 项 Fas-670A/G 和 15 项 Fas-1377G/A)被纳入荟萃分析。我们的荟萃分析表明,FAS-670A/G 多态性与自身免疫性疾病的风险相关(GG 与 GA:OR=1.079,95%CI=1.004-1.160,P=0.038),尤其是在白种人(GG 与 GA:OR=1.12,95%CI=1.03-1.23,P=0.012)、亚洲人(G 与 A:OR=0.89,95%CI=0.83-0.96,P=0.002)、系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)(G 与 A:OR=0.85,95%CI=0.77-0.94,P=0.001)、多发性硬化症(MS)(GG+GA 与 AA:OR=0.83,95%CI=0.70-0.99,P=0.043)、系统性硬皮病(SSc)(GG 与 GA:OR=1.20,95%CI=1.07-1.36,P=0.003)和桥本甲状腺炎(HT)(G 与 A:OR=1.45,95%CI=1.10-1.90,P=0.008)。FAS-1377G/A 多态性与自身免疫性疾病的风险相关(A 与 G:OR=1.11,95%CI=1.03-1.20,P=0.008),尤其是在亚洲人(A 与 G:OR=1.15,95%CI=1.05-1.25,P=0.002)和高质量研究(A 与 G:OR=1.14,95%CI=1.05-1.24,P=0.002)中。
本荟萃分析表明,FAS-670A/G 和 -1377G/A 多态性与自身免疫性疾病的风险相关。
