文摘

We performed a meta-analysis to determine whether combined evidence shows an association between HLA-B*51 and HLA-B*52 alleles and TNF-α-308A/G polymorphism and the susceptibility to Takayasu arteritis (TA). Relevant articles dated November 2015 were acquired from the PubMed, Embase and Cochrane databases. The number of genotypes and/or alleles for HLA-B*51 and HLA-B*52 alleles and TNF-α-308 A/G polymorphism in cases and control subjects was extracted, and statistical analysis was conducted using STATA 11.2 software. We included 20 studies with 1864 TA patients and 6973 controls. The HLA-B*52 allele was found to be associated with TA (pooled OR 3.91, 95 % CI 3.22–4.74, P < 0.0001). The meta-analysis of TNF-α-308 A/G polymorphism for the A allele vs. G allele (P = 0.006) and AA + AG vs. GG (P = 0.023) revealed a significant association with TA. However, we did not find that the HLA-B*51 allele was associated with TA. This meta-analysis demonstrated that the HLA-B*52 allele and TNF-α-308 A/G polymorphism may contribute to TA susceptibility.
