Abstract:
:ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) is a member of a superfamily of membrane proteins that has attracted considerable attention as a candidate gene for coronary heart disease (CHD) based on its enzyme function as a key factor in regulating plasma HDL-C and apo A-I metabolism. It has been suggested that polymorphisms in the ABCA1 gene are risk factors for CHD, but a large number of studies have reported apparently conflicting results. To investigate this inconsistency and derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, a meta-analysis of 14,040 cases and 28,607 controls from 31 published case-control studies was performed. Five potential sources of heterogeneity including ethnicity, source of control, sample size, HWE status and genotyping method of study were also assessed. Overall, significantly decreased CHD risk was associated with 219K allele of R219K polymorphism when all studies were pooled into the meta-analysis. In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, significantly decreased risks were found in Asians and other ethnic population for the polymorphism in all genetic models; while no significant associations were found among Caucasians. When stratified by source of controls, both population and hospital based studies get consistent positive results. However, no significant results were observed for I883M polymorphism of ABCA1 in all genetic models. In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggests that K allele of ABCA1 R219K polymorphism is a protective factor associated with decreased CHD susceptibility, but these associations vary in different ethnic populations.
