{Abstract}: UNASSIGNED: Low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) gene polymorphisms have been indicated to be correlated with ischemic cerebrovascular disease including ischemic stroke susceptibility. However, the results from each published study are inconsistent.
UNASSIGNED: All eligible case-control studies that met the search terms were retrieved in PubMed, Embase, Wanfang Med Online and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases. We identified seven independent case-control studies with a total of 10,355 subjects from Chinese population up to May 2023. Summary odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to evaluate the susceptibility of ischemic stroke.
UNASSIGNED: Meta-analysis results indicated that rs1122608 polymorphism of LDL-R gene significantly decreased ischemic stroke risk under dominant model (OR = 0.69, 95% CI = 0.54-0.87), heterozygote comparison (OR = 0.69, 95% CI = 0.53-0.92) and allele comparison (OR = 0.74, 95% CI = 0.65-0.84) in overall analysis. Furthermore, pooled analysis showed that significant associations were observed between rs688 polymorphism and ischemic stroke risk in heterozygote carriers (OR = 1.71, 95% CI = 1.07-2.71) and dominant model (OR = 1.67, 95% CI = 1.04-2.68) in Chinese population.
UNASSIGNED: Our comprehensive meta-analysis on the role of LDL-R gene rs1122608 and rs688 polymorphisms in the risk of ischemic stroke revealed that the rs1122608 polymorphism was associated with a decreased risk, while the rs688 polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke in Chinese population. Further multicenter studies were needed to confirm the effect on the susceptibility of ischemic stroke.
