Abstract

Recent studies have reported the association between IL-6-174G/C polymorphism and sepsis. However, the results are inconclusive and conflicting. To better understand the role of IL-6-174G/C polymorphism in sepsis, we conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis. Literature search was conducted through PubMed, Embase, Web of Knowledge databases until July 29, 2013. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using fixed- or random-effect model based on heterogeneity test in total and subgroup analyses. Twenty studies on the risk of sepsis and seven studies on sepsis mortality were included. None of the results showed evidence of a significant association between IL-6-174G/C polymorphism and sepsis risk in overall analysis or subgroup analyses based on sepsis type, ethnicity, source of control and age under any genetic model (the allele comparison, the codominant, the recessive or the dominant model). Although there was a statistically significant association between IL-6-174 G/C polymorphism and sepsis-related mortality under the recessive model, the significance did not exist after Bonferroni's correction. Current evidence does not support a direct effect of IL-6-174 G/C polymorphism on the risk o...Continue Reading
