The IL-6 rs1800795 and rs1800796 polymorphisms are associated with coronary artery disease risk.

ABSTRACT: Studies examining the associations between the interleukin-6 (IL-6) rs1800795 and rs1800796 gene polymorphisms and risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) remain controversial. Our aim was to evaluate the accurately determine role of these two polymorphisms in CAD risk. PubMed, Embase, VIP, Wan fang and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases were searched. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. The trial sequential analysis (TSA) was conducted, and bioinformatics tools were employed. A total of thirty-seven articles were obtained. For the IL-6 rs1800795 polymorphism, 9411 CAD patients and 3161 controls were included, 4720 patients with CAD, and 5000 controls were included for the IL-6 rs1800796 polymorphism. In the pooled analysis, significant as
