The relationship between interleukin-8 () -251A/T polymorphism and tuberculosis (TB) risk remains controversial. Therefore, the present meta-analysis was performed by retrieving relevant studies from the available literature.
We comprehensively searched three databases to identify eligible literature on the relationship of -251A/T polymorphism with TB risk, calculated pooled odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI), and subsequent evaluated the heterogeneity and publication bias.
We found that -251A/T polymorphism increased TB risk (AA vs. TT: OR = 2.86, 95%CI: 1.46-5.60; AT vs. TT: OR = 1.64, 95%CI: 1.15-2.34; dominant model: OR = 1.88, 95%CI: 1.24-2.86; recessive model: OR = 1.77, 95%CI: 1.17-2.69). Subgroup analyses based on race revealed that the -251A/T polymorphism might be associated with the risk of TB in African but not Asian individuals.
The -251A/T polymorphism might be related to the risk of TB. Nevertheless, large-scale studies should be performed to confirm the role of -251A/T polymorphism on TB risk.
白细胞介素-8 (-251A/T) 多态性与结核病 (TB) 风险之间的关系仍存在争议。因此,本荟萃分析通过从现有文献中检索相关研究来进行。
我们全面检索了三个数据库,以确定与 -251A/T 多态性与 TB 风险相关的合格文献,计算合并优势比 (OR) 及其 95%置信区间 (CI),并随后评估异质性和发表偏倚。
我们发现 -251A/T 多态性增加了 TB 风险 (AA 与 TT:OR=2.86,95%CI:1.46-5.60;AT 与 TT:OR=1.64,95%CI:1.15-2.34;显性模型:OR=1.88,95%CI:1.24-2.86;隐性模型:OR=1.77,95%CI:1.17-2.69)。基于种族的亚组分析表明,-251A/T 多态性可能与非洲人群而非亚洲人群的 TB 风险相关。
-251A/T 多态性可能与 TB 风险相关。然而,应开展大规模研究来证实 -251A/T 多态性在 TB 风险中的作用。
