Interleukin-1β rs1143634 polymorphism and aggressive periodontitis susceptibility: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Multiple studies had focused on the association between interleukin-1 (IL-1) rs1143634 polymorphism and aggressive periodontitis (AgP) susceptibility, but the results remained inconclusive. Therefore, this meta-analysis was conducted to explore its role in the development of AgP. PubMed and Embase databases were searched up to April 15, 2014. After study selection and data extraction form eligible studies, meta-analysis was performed. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to evaluate the association. All the analysis was performed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software. Finally a total of 25 case-control studies were included. The pooled results showed non-association between AgP susceptibility and IL-1 rs1143634 polymorphism [for T vs. C: OR = 0.99, 95% CI = 0
