Association of Common Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms of Candidate Genes with Gallstone Disease: A Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Numerous studies have investigated the relationship between various candidate gene polymorphisms and gallbladder stone disease (GSD) across ethnic populations; however, the results are often inconsistent. This meta-analysis aims to comprehensively evaluate the influence of common ABCG8 T400K, ABCG8 D19H, ABCG8 C54Y, ApoB100 EcoRI, ApoB100 XbaI, ApoE HhaI, CETP TaqI, CYP7A1 Bsa, LRPAP1 I/D and TNF-α A308G polymorphisms on the risk of gallbladder stone disease. 33 Full-text articles with 9250 cases and 12,029 healthy controls (total 21,279 subjects) were analyzed using the RevMan software (V5.1) and the Comprehensive Meta-analysis software (Version 2.0, BIOSTAT, Englewood, NJ) a Random-effects model was applied.
