Associations between miR-146a rs2910164 polymorphisms and risk of ischemic cardio-cerebrovascular diseases.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many studies investigated the association between miR-146a rs2910164 polymorphisms and risk of ischemic cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. However, the results were inconsistent.

Methods

We searched the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane library, Web of Science, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, and Wanfang databases for appropriate studies. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to evaluate the associations. Heterogeneity, sensitivity, and publication bias were conducted to measure the robustness of our findings.All analyses were based on previous published studies, thus, no ethical approval and patient consent are required.

Results

We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the relationship between miR-146a rs2910164 polymor
