Abstract:
Objective To investigate the associations between polymorphisms of organic cation transporter OCTN1/2 (organic cation transporter 1/2) and the susceptibility of Crohn' s disease (CD) through a meta-analysis.Methods Databases of PubMed,EMBASE,MedLine,and CNKI (Chinese),Wanfang (Chinese) were searched for published case control studies on the association between polymorphisms of OCTN1/2 gene and the susceptibility of CD which were published before September 2012.The meta-analysis was applied with Review Manager 4.2 software and Stata 10.0 software.Results Nineteen eligible studies,including 14 from Europeans,3 from Asians,1 from Oceania,and 1 from the US were included in the meta-analysis.In total,significant associations were found between OCTN1/2 polymorphisms and the susceptibility of CD for all genetic models.In subgroup analyses,significant associations were found in the European population for OCTN1/2.Associations were not significant in the non-European population for OCTN1 (TT vs.CT:OR=1.25,95％CI:0.75-1.98,P=0.34; TT vs.CC+CT:OR=l.48,95％CI:0.95-2.29,P=0.08) and for OCTN2 (CC vs.GC:OR=1.03,95％CI:0.68-1.56,P=0.89; CC vs.GG + GC:OR=1.23,95％CI:0.83-1.82,P=0.31).However,there were significant associations found between OCTN1/2(TT vs.CC,TT+CT vs.CC,CC vs.GG,CC + GC vs.GG) polymorphisms and the susceptibility of CD found in the nonEuropean population.Conclusion Results from this meta-analysis suggested that OCTN1/2 polymorphisms were associated with the susceptibility of CD in the European population.Associations between OCTN1/2 polymorphisms and the susceptibility of CD in the non-European population required searching for large samples to confirm the findings.
