Abstract
By collecting the data of all relevant articles, the goal of this study was to better understand the relationship between the IL-6/IL-18 polymorphism and susceptibility to tuberculosis in several regional populations. Pubmed, Embase, WOS and CNKI were used to find relevant literature. The findings of separate research were merged using Review Manager. A total of 25 studies were included in this study. IL-6 rs1800795 (dominant. comparison: p-value<0.0001, OR 1.43, 95 % CI 1.23-1.67; recessive comparison: p-value<0.0001, OR 0.48, 95 % CI 0.35-0.65; allele comparison: p-value<0.0001, OR 1.43, 95 % CI 1.27-1.62), IL-18 rs1946518 (dominant comparison: p-value=0.01, OR 1.19, 95 % CI 1.04-1.35; recessive comparison: p-value=0.01, OR 0.82, 95 % CI 0.71-0.96; allele comparison: p-value=0.002, OR 1.14, 95 % CI 1.05-1.24), IL-18 rs187238 (dominant comparison: p-value=0.0002, OR 1.35, 95 % CI 1.15-1.58; allele comparison: p-value<0.0001, OR 1.31, 95 % CI 1.14-1.50). All gene polymorphisms were shown to be substantially linked to tuberculosis in the general population. Positive findings of rs187238 and rs1800795 polymorphisms were primarily driven by several regional populations, according to subgroup analyses. This meta-analysis found that the the IL-6 rs1800795and IL-18 rs187238 polymorphisms may have a role in TB susceptibility.
