Abstract
A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to find out if there was association between Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene polymorphisms (− 844 G > A and − 675 4G > 5G) and susceptibility to coronary artery disease (CAD). Search of electronic databases was performed and the pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were exerted to evaluate the pooled association between the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and risk of CAD. For − 675 4G > 5G SNP, dominant (OR = 0.90), recessive (OR = 0.90), allelic (OR = 0.91), homozygous (OR = 0.84), and heterozygous (OR = 0.96) models were significantly associated with decreased risk of CAD. Moreover, all five genetic models were associated significantly with decreased CAD risk in the Causation and Arab populations. The results in Asians were marginally significant in recessive, allelic, and homozygote models. The male gender was found to be a risk factor in individuals with PAI-1 4G > 5G SNP in the dominant model (OR = 0.89), recessive model (OR = 0.91), allelic model (OR = 0.92), homozygous model (OR = 0.86), and heterozygous model (OR = 0.91). The results of pooled ORs for overall populations and subgroup analysis by ethnicity reject any association between PAI-1 gene − 844 G > A polymorphism and CAD risk under all genetic comparisons. The results of this meta-analysis indicated that PAI-1 4G > 5G SNP was associated with decreased risk of CAD in the overall population as well as in the Asians, Caucasians, and Arab populations. However, the PAI-1 gene − 844 G > A polymorphism had no significant association with susceptibility to CAD.
