Significant association between the endothelial lipase gene 584C/T polymorphism and coronary artery disease risk.

ABSTRACT: Several studies have investigated a potential association between the endothelial lipase gene (LIPG) 584C/T polymorphism and susceptibility to coronary artery disease (CAD), but a uniform conclusion is yet to be reached. To better evaluate the true relationship between the LIPG 584C/T polymorphism and the risk of CAD, a meta-analysis of 14 case-control studies with 9731 subjects was performed. Relevant articles published through August 2020 were searched in the CNKI, PubMed, Embase and Web of Science databases. Thirteen articles, including 14 eligible case-control studies with 4025 cases and 5706 controls, were enrolled in the present meta-analysis. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) scores of the case-control studies ranged from 6 to 8. The pooled results indicated that there is a significa
