Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the association of TIM-3 rs1036199 polymorphisms with the susceptibility of rheumatoid arthritis(RA). Methods A systematic search of published studies related to the association of TIM-3 rs1036199 polymorphisms with RA was conducted in PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,CNKI,Wanfang and VIP databases(last updated on August 28,2018). A Meta analysis was performed using STATA software. A total of 7 studies including 1 267 RA cases and 1 360 healthy subjects were enrolled. Results TIM-3 rs1036199 polymorphism was not associated with RA in allele comparison [G to T:odds ratio(OR)=1.44,95% confidence interval(CI) 0.73-2.82] and heterozygous comparison(GT to TT:OR=1.46,95%CI 0.70-3.06). Subgroup analysis based on ethnicity demonstrated that TIM-3 rs1036199 polymorphism was associated with RA in Korean(G to T:OR=1.61,95%CI 1.20-2.14;GT to TT:OR=1.71,95%CI 1.26-2.32). Subgroup analysis based on the source of control showed that TIM-3 rs1036199 polymorphism contributed to RA susceptibility in population based on case-control studies(G to T:OR=3.66,95%CI 1.90-7.04;GT to TT:OR=3.85,95%CI 1.98-7.48). Conclusions The present studies reveal that TIM-3 rs1036199 polymorphism is associated with RA in Korean,while the association of TIM-3 rs1036199 with RA in Chinese remains uncertain.
