Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: Results from the published studies on the association of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-gamma 2 (PPARγ2) Pro12Ala polymorphism with blood lipids are conflicting. In this meta-analysis, we investigated the association of the Pro12Ala polymorphism with total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. METHODS: 74 studies with 52,998 subjects were included in this meta-analysis. Dominant model and additive model were used for this meta-analysis. RESULTS: We did not detect significant overall association of the Pro12Ala polymorphism with total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P>0.05). Under dominant model, significant association between the PPARγ2 Pro12Ala polymorphism and increased blood TC in male subjects was detected: standardized mean difference=0.10, 95% confidence interval (0.02, 0.22), P=0.02, P(heterogeneity)=0.14. We found a marginal association of the Pro12Ala polymorphism with increased HDL-C in healthy subjects under dominant model: standardized mean difference=0.10, 95% confidence interval (-0.00, 0.20), P=0.06, P(heterogeneity)=0.96. We also found subjects with genotype AlaAla have lower blood TG than subjects with genotype ProPro in Caucasians: for analysis including the outlier studies: SMD=-0.40, 95% CI (-0.76, -0.05), P=0.02, P(heterogeneity)<0.00001, and for analysis excluding the outlier studies: SMD=-0.23, 95% CI (-0.39, -0.06), P=0.006, P(heterogeneity)=0.86. CONCLUSIONS: Our meta-analysis suggests that, compared with non-carriers, carriers of Ala allele have significant increased blood TC in male subjects, and marginally significant increased blood HDL-C in healthy subjects. Our meta-analysis also supports that subjects with genotype AlaAla have lower blood TG than subjects with genotype ProPro in Caucasians.
