Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the association between the CC-cytokine ligand-2 (CCL2) 2518A/G (rs1024611) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and susceptibility to age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Methods: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and other databases were searched for articles published before August 24, 2023. After searching, data extraction, and quality assessment, meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis were conducted using RevMan 5.4, Stata 17.0, and TSA 0.9.5.10 Beta software. Combined OR, P values, and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Sensitivity analysis, subgroup analysis and publication bias assessment were also performed.
Results: Six articles, comprising 1186 cases and 1124 controls, were included. No significant statistical difference was found in six main outcomes. However, due to observed heterogeneity and high sensitivity, subgroup analysis was performed, revealing statistically significant differences across different regions. No significant publication bias was observed. Trial sequential analysis suggested the need for additional follow-up case-control studies to further validate the findings.
Conclusion: The CCL2 gene 2518A/G (rs1024611) polymorphism is associated with AMD susceptibility. Among Caucasian populations in West Asia and Europe, the G allele is protective against AMD, whereas in East and South Asia, it poses a risk factor.
