Abstract

Introduction: Growing studies have revealed the underlying association between eNOS 894 G/T (rs1799983) polymorphism and coronary heart disease (CHD) among Asia population. Results from these studies remained conflicting. We conducted this meta-analysis to estimate the overall CHD risk of eNOS 894 G/T polymorphism regarding Asia population. Materials and methods: Up to October 2011, databases including PubMed, Embase and CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) were searched to access the relevant genetic association studies. Summary odds ratios and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for eNOS 894 G/T polymorphism and CHD risk were estimated using fixed or random-effects models when appropriate. Results: 18 case-control studies with 2,994 cases and 3,130 controls were available for this study, including 13 studies of East-Asia descendents, 5 studies of Non East-Asian descendents. The mean T allele frequency was 0.111 in the East-Asia population and 0.147 in the Non East-Asia population, respectively. The summary OR for CHD associated with the T allele was 1.52 (95% confidence intervals (95%CI), 1.37-1.69) by random effects model. Similarly, significantly increased risks were observed in the East-Asia population (OR = 1.54; 95%CI = 1.35-1.76) and in the Non East-Asia population (OR = 1.48; 95%CI = 1.24-1.77), respectively. Conclusions: This meta-analysis indicated that eNOS 894 G/T polymorphism may play an important role in CHD development among Asia population. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
