Abstract
The Schizophrenia Psychiatric GWAS Consortium (PGC) has identified the rs1625579 polymorphism in the MIR137 gene, which encodes miR-137, as the strongest new association with schizophrenia in the European population. However, whether the influence of rs1625579 on schizophrenia in the Asian population is consistent with these results remains unclear. A total of 21 studies (9878 schizophrenic patients and 9447 control subjects) that met the inclusion criteria were included in our meta-analysis. Pooled analysis, subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis and publication bias were performed.The T allele, TT genotype and TT + GG genotype were associated with schizophrenia as risk factors. Subgroup analysis shows that no heterogeneity existed in the European and Asian populations. Our meta-analysis found that the Rs1625579 polymorphism in the MIR137 gene was associated with the risk of schizophrenia. The current findings provide a reference for case-control studies of schizophrenia in the future.
