Association between the ACE I/D polymorphism and risk of ischemic stroke: an updated meta-analysis of 47,026 subjects from 105 case-control studies.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:The association between the angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion (ACE I/D) polymorphism and risk of ischemic stroke (IS) remains controversial and ambiguous. To clarify this association, a large meta-analysis was performed. METHODS:Electronic databases in both English and Chinese were used to identify relevant studies (updated in February 2014). Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were used to describe the strength of the association. RESULTS:One hundred and fifty eligible studies, including 18,258 IS cases and 28,768 controls, were identified. Meta-analysis of these studies pointed to a significant association between the ACE I/D polymorphism and IS risk: (D vs. I: OR=1.354, 95% CI=1.272-1.440, P<0.001; DD vs. II: OR=1.755, 95% CI=1.561-1.973, P<0.001; ID vs. II: OR=1.178, 95% CI=1.098-1.263, P<0.001; DD vs. ID/II:OR=1.535, 95% CI=1.399-1.684, P<0.001; DD/ID vs. II: OR=1.353, 95% CI=1.251-1.463, P<0.001). Subgroup analysis revealed a significantly elevated risk among Asians, but with borderline statistical significance among Caucasians. CONCLUSION:This meta-analysis indicated that the ACE I/D polymorphism may be a genetic susceptibility factor for IS, especially among Asians, but with borderline statistical significance for Caucasians. Further investigations are needed to validate our conclusions.
