Association of tumor necrosis factor-α-308G/A polymorphism with the risk of obstructive sleep apnea: A meta-analysis of 14 case-control studies.

ABSTRACT: Although numerous studies have suggested the association between TNF-α-308G/A polymorphism and susceptibility to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the results remained controversial and ambiguous. We performed the present meta-analysis to derive a more precise estimation.The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang databases, and Weipu databases (until January 8, 2022) were accessed to retrieve relevant articles. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were calculated using the STATA statistical software.Totally, fourteen studies involving 2595 cases and 2579 controls were enrolled in this meta-analysis. Pooled results demonstrated significant association between TNF-α-308G/A polymorphism and OSA risk for the ove
