Association between patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3 gene rs738409 polymorphism and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease susceptibility: a meta-analysis
To explore the association between patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3(PNPLA3) gene rs738409 polymorphism and the susceptibility of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD).
Data bases were comprehensively searched to retrace all the related studies on the association between PNPLA3 gene rs738409 polymorphism and susceptibility. Of NAFLD, the pooled OR with 95% CI of the association between PNPLA3 gene rs738409 polymorphism and NAFLD susceptibility were performed using different genetic models. Subgroup analysis based on the source of population and sensitivity analysis was performed to detect the stability of results.
28 original studies with 6 216 patients and 8 218 controls were involved in the final combination of data. Findings from the meta-analyses showed that there were strong associations between PNPLA3 gene rs738409 polymorphism and the susceptibility of NAFLD, under different genetic model comparisons[GG vs. CC:OR = 2.42, 95%CI:1.83-3.21, P < 0.001;CG vs. CC:OR = 1.28, 95%CI:1.15
