Background
A growing number of studies have suggested that the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs662 (G>A) in paraoxonase 1 (PON1) is significantly associated with susceptibility to coronary heart disease (CHD) in the Chinese population. To further evaluate the effects of the PON1 RS662 (G>A) polymorphism on the risk of CHD, we performed a meta-analysis in a Chinese population.
Methods
PubMed, Embase, Wanfang Data, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were searched to identify eligible studies. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to evaluate the strength of the associations between RS662 (G>A) and CHD.
Result
In the meta-analysis, we identified 14 articles, including a total of 4835 CHD patients and 5111 controls in the Chinese population. Our result showed that overall rs662 (G>A) was significantly associated with susceptibility to CHD in the Chinese population when compared with healthy controls. Furthermore, a G allele suggested an elevated risk of CHD. In the subgroup analyses stratified by ethnicity and geographic areas, significant associations were found in Chinese Han and South China, but not in North China.
Conclusion
The present meta-analysis suggests that rs662 (G>A) SNP in PON1 is associated with CHD risk; the G allele might be the risk allele for CHD susceptibility in the Chinese population. However, more research is required to make a definite conclusion.
