Abstract

Association between angiotensinogen (AGT) M235T gene polymorphism and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) risk is still controversial. This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the association of AGT M235T gene polymorphism with ESRD susceptibility. A predefined literature search and selection of eligible relevant studies were performed to collect data from electronic databases of PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library. Sixteen literatures were identified for the analysis of association of AGT M235T gene polymorphism with ESRD risk. T allele and TT genotype were associated with ESRD susceptibility in Caucasians (T: OR = 1.13, 95 % CI: 1.02–1.25, P = 0.02; TT: OR = 1.22, 95 % CI: 1.03–1.45, P = 0.02). However, MM genotype might not play a protective role against ESRD risk in Caucasians. Furthermore, there was no a markedly positive association between AGT M235T gene polymorphism and ESRD susceptibility in overall populations, Asians and Africans. In conclusion, T allele or TT homozygote is associated with the onset of ESRD in Caucasians. However, more studies should be performed in the future.
