Abstract

Background: Ischemic stroke (IS) is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. As genetic heritability for IS is estimated at about 35%-40%, the identification of genetic variants associated with IS risk is of great importance. The main objective of this study was to carry out a meta-analysis for polymorphisms in CRP, EPHX2, FGA, and NOTCH3 genes and the risk for IS. Methods: Literature search for 6 candidate polymorphisms and IS was conducted using HuGE Navigator, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases. Meta-Analyst program was used to calculate pooled odds ratios (ORs) with a random effects model. Results: Twenty-five published studies for 6 candidate polymorphisms were included: CRP-rs1800947 (5 studies), CRP-rs1205 (3... (More)

Meta-Analyst program was used to calculate pooled odds ratios (ORs) with a random effects model. Results: Twenty-five published studies for 6 candidate polymorphisms were included: CRP-rs1800947 (5 studies), CRP-rs1205 (3 studies), EPHX2-rs751141 (5 studies), FGA-rs6050 (6 studies), NOTCH3-rs3815188 (3 studies), and NOTCH3-rs1043994 (3 studies), for a total number of 7,825 IS cases and 56,532 control subjects. We did not find significant pooled ORs (P values > .05) for any of the genetic variants evaluated in this work. Conclusions: Our meta-analysis results did not show significant associations between these 6 polymorphisms in 4 candidate genes and IS, despite the functional role of some of these single nucleotide polymorphisms (e.g., rs6050 in FGA gene). Future studies are needed to identify additional main genetic risk factors for IS in different populations.
