Association between the MYO9B polymorphisms and celiac disease risk: a meta-analysis.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

There is no consensus regarding the association between polymorphisms in the myosin IXB (MYO9B) gene and celiac disease (CD) risk. In this study, we performed a meta-analysis to evaluate genetic variants in MYO9B with CD.

METHODS:

Four MYO9B polymorphisms (rs1545620, rs1457092, rs2305767 and rs2305764) were assessed. A literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases until June 2015. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to investigate the strength of the association under dominant, recessive, homozygote and allelic comparison models.

RESULTS:

Seven case-control studies with a total of 1965 CD patients and 4894 controls were included in this meta-analysis. The results showed that rs1545620 was associated with CD risk in Europeans in dominant (OR=1.31, 95% CI: 1.10-1.58, Pz =0.003), recessive (OR=1.36, 95% CI: 1.08-1.72, Pz =0.009), homozygote (OR=1.55, 95% CI: 1.20-2.01, Pz =0.001), and allelic comparison models (OR=1.24, 95% CI: 1.10-1.40, Pz =0.001), whereas in a Latin American group there were significant associations of CD with rs1457092 in dominant (OR=15.30, 95% CI: 3.51-66.67, Pz <0.001), homozygote (OR=16.55, 95% CI: 3.62-75.65, Pz <0.001), and allelic comparison models (OR=1.95, 95% CI: 1.31-2.91, Pz =0.001), and rs2305767 in dominant (OR=5.35, 95% CI: 2.42-11.86, Pz <0.001) and allelic comparison models (OR=1.65, 95% CI: 1.11-2.45, Pz =0.013). There was no association between rs2305764 and CD risk in either Europeans or the Latin American group.

CONCLUSION:

rs1545620 is associated with CD risk in Europeans, whereas rs1457092 and rs2305767 are associated with CD risk in a Latin American group.
