RNF213 gene polymorphisms and susceptibility of intracranial vascular stenosis disease: a meta-analysis / 国际脑血管病杂志

Objective To investigate the correlation between RNF213 gene polymorphisms (rs112735431,rs138130613,and rs148731719) and the susceptibility of intracranial vascular stenosis disease.Methods The literature of studies on the correlation between RNF213 gene polymorphisms and intracranial vascular stenosis disease was collected according to the related databases.Using the Stata 12.0 software and selecting suitable genetic model,the heterogeneity was analyzed and the pooled odds ratio (OR) and its 95％ confidence interval (CI) were calculated.Results A total of 12 articles were included after screening.The result of meta-analysis showed that the rs112735431 polymorphism had a significant correlation with the susceptibility of moyamoya disease (MMD) in all genetic models,especially the most significant dominant model (AA + GA genotype vs.GG genotype:OR 101.46,95％ CI 59.41-173.27;P ＜0.001),at the same time,the polymorphism of this site also had significant correlation with the nonMMD intracranial large artery stenosis/occlusion (AA + GA genotype vs.GG genotype:OR 13.82,95％ CI 4.48-42.61;P＜ 0.001);the rs138130613 polymorphism had significant correlation with the susceptibility of MMD in Chinese population (OR 5.01,95％ CI 1.57-15.98;P=0.006);and no correlation between the rs148731719 polymorphism and the susceptibility of MMD was observed.Conclusions The RNF213 gene rs112735431 polymorphism is a susceptible factor of MMD,at the same time,the polymorphism of this site is also associated with the formation of non-MMD intracranial large artery stenosis.Systematic study on the molecular function of RNF213 may have important significance for diagnosis and treatment of such vascular stenosis diseases.
