Abstract

This meta-analysis was conducted to assess the association of Megsin 2093C/T, 2180C/T, C25663G gene polymorphism with the risk of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). The association literatures were identified from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and CBM-disc (China Biological Medicine Database) on 1 January 2014, and eligible reports were recruited and synthesized. Seven eligible reports were recruited into this meta-analysis for the association of Megsin 2093C/T, 2180C/T, C25663G gene polymorphism with IgAN risk. In this meta-analysis, the association of Megsin 2093C/T TT genotype with IgAN risk in Asians was found. Interestingly, Megsin C25663G G allele and GG genotype were associated with the risk of IgAN in Asian population. However, Megsin 2180C/T gene polymorphism was not associated with IgAN risk in Asians. In conclusion, Megsin 2093C/T TT genotype, and C25663G G allele and GG genotype were associated with the risk of IgAN in Asian population. However, more studies should be performed in the future to confirm this association.
