Abstract
Background: Over a dozen studies have investigated the effect of the R219K variant in the ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) gene on the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the results are conflicting.
Objective: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to comprehensively assess the association between the ABCA1 R219K variant and the risk of AD.
Methods: Studies included in the meta-analysis were obtained by searching PubMed, Web of Science and AlzGene. Review Manager 5.4 was used for meta-analysis. Both the odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to evaluate the effect of ABCA1 R219K polymorphism on AD susceptibility. Heterogeneity between the included studies was assessed using I2 statistics and Cochran Qtest. Funnel plots were used to assess publication bias.
Results: A total of 14 eligible studies involving 10084 subjects were retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science and AlzGene. Meta-analysis results showed that R219K polymorphism was significantly associated with a decreased risk of AD in Chinese under a recessive model (OR = 0.67; 95% CI = 0.51- 0.88; P = 0.004).
Conclusion: The present meta-analysis indicated that the KK genotype of R219K polymorphism may act as a protective factor for AD in the Chinese population. Additional studies with larger sample sizes are needed to further confirm this association.
期刊介绍:
Current Alzheimer Research publishes peer-reviewed frontier review, research, drug clinical trial studies and letter articles on all areas of Alzheimer’s disease. This multidisciplinary journal will help in understanding the neurobiology, genetics, pathogenesis, and treatment strategies of Alzheimer’s disease. The journal publishes objective reviews written by experts and leaders actively engaged in research using cellular, molecular, and animal models. The journal also covers original articles on recent research in fast emerging areas of molecular diagnostics, brain imaging, drug development and discovery, and clinical aspects of Alzheimer’s disease. Manuscripts are encouraged that relate to the synergistic mechanism of Alzheimer''s disease with other dementia and neurodegenerative disorders. Book reviews, meeting reports and letters-to-the-editor are also published. The journal is essential reading for researchers, educators and physicians with interest in age-related dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Current Alzheimer Research provides a comprehensive ''bird''s-eye view'' of the current state of Alzheimer''s research for neuroscientists, clinicians, health science planners, granting, caregivers and families of this devastating disease.
