Background And Aims:
Interleukin-10 (IL-10) plays a vital part in the pathophysiology of vascular inflammation. Several studies have investigated the potential association between the IL-10-1082A/G polymorphism and the risk of ischemic stroke where the inflammatory process is involved, but the conclusions have been inconsistent.
Methods:
Three hundred eighty-six ischemic stroke patients and 386 healthy controls were recruited in the study. Genotyping was conducted by using the polymerase chain reaction-ligation detection reaction method. A meta-analysis was then performed by pooling our data with previous published studies.
Results:
In our case-control study, a lack of association was revealed between IL-10-1082A/G and ischemic stroke (p > 0.05). When combined with previous studies, however, a significant relationship between IL-10-1082A/G and ischemic stroke risk was found (G vs. A: OR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.60-0.88, p < 0.01; GG vs. AA: OR = 0.61, 95% CI = 0.49-0.76, p < 0.01; GG+AG vs. AA: OR = 0.70, 95% CI = 0.54-0.91, p < 0.01; GG vs. AG+AA: OR = 0.68, 95% CI = 0.52-0.89, p < 0.01), as well as in subgroup analyses. Sensitivity analysis and publication bias assessment supported the reliability of the results from the meta-analysis.
Conclusions:
Evidence from a case-control study to an updated meta-analysis suggests that the IL-10-1082A/G polymorphism is associated with ischemic stroke susceptibility.
