The Associations between Paraoxonase 1 L55M/Q192R Genetic Polymorphisms and the Susceptibilities of Diabetic Macroangiopathy and Diabetic Microangiopathy: A Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Plenty of studies have focused on the associations of paraoxonase 1 Q192R and L55M genetic polymorphisms with diabetic macroangiopathy and microangiopathy susceptibility, but these associations remain controversial. Therefore, this meta-analysis was conducted to demonstrate these relationships.

Methods

Relevant studies published in English or Chinese were identified in PubMed, Embase, Wanfang Database, and CNKI by applying specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Statistical analyses were performed using the STATA 12.0 statistical software.

Results

25 Case-control studies were included in the meta-analyses: six on the association between paraoxonase 1 L55M genetic polymorphism and diabetic macroangiopathy risk, nine on the association between L55M and d
