Associations between genetic variations in microRNA and myocardial infarction susceptibility: a meta-analysis and systematic review.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Current genetic association studies have reported conflicting results regarding the association between miRNA polymorphisms and myocardial infarction (MI) risk METHODS: Relevant studies were retrieved from the PubMed, EMBASE, ISI Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Eligible studies determining the association between miRNA polymorphisms and MI susceptibility were included and a meta-analysis was performed to quantify the associations between miRNA polymorphisms and MI risk.

RESULTS:

A total of eight studies with 2507 MI patients and 3796 healthy controls were included, dealing with nine miRNA genes containing 11 different loci, including miR-149 (rs71428439 and rs2292832), miR-126 (rs4636297 and rs1140713), miR-146a (rs2910164), miR-218 (rs11134527), miR-196a2 (rs11614913), miR-499 (rs3746444), miR-27a (rs895819), miR-26a‑1 (rs7372209), and miR-100 (rs1834306). miR-146a rs2910164 and miR-499 rs3746444 were determined to have a significant association with MI susceptibility, a finding that was supported by the meta-analysis (rs2910164: GG/CC, odds ratio [OR]: 1.40, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.05-1.74, p < 0.001; rs3746444: AA + AG/GG, OR = 2.04, 95% CI: 1.37-2.70, p < 0.001). Limited or conflicting data were found for the relationship between the other miRNA polymorphisms (rs71428439, rs4636297, rs1140713, rs11134527, rs11614913, rs895819, rs7372209, rs1834306, rs2292832) and MI risk.

CONCLUSION:

There was a significant association between rs2910164 and rs3746444 and MI susceptibility. Further studies are required to investigate the role of miRNA polymorphisms in MI risk.
