Objective:
To assess the association of the FSHR Thr307Ala-Asn680Ser gene polymorphism with male infertility.
Methods:
We searched Pubmed, EMBASE, Web of Science, CNKI, and WANFANG databases for literature on the correlation of the FSHR Thr307Ala-Asn680Ser gene polymorphism with male infertility published from 2005 to the present time. According to the inclusion criteria, we included 12 epidemiological case-control studies and subjected them to a comprehensive analysis with the Stata11.0 software.
Results:
A total of 2 893 male infertility patients and 3 312 controls were involved in the 12 studies. The Thr307Ala (rs6165) gene polymorphism was shown to be a risk factor for male infertility among the three comparison models (homozygous comparison model, hybrid comparison model and dominant comparison model), with the pooled odds ratios (OR) of 1.26 (95% CI: 1.03-1.54, P = 0.023), 1.18 (95% CI: 1.03-1.36, P = 0.018), and 1.20 (95% CI: 1.05-1.37, P = 0.006), respectively. And the Asn680Ser(rs6166) polymorphism was a risk factor for male infertility in the homozygous comparison and recessive comparison models, with the pooled ORs of 1.24, (95% CI: 1.05-1.45, P = 0.009) and 1.20 (95% CI: 1.04-1.39, P = 0.013), respectively. Layered meta-analysis showed that in the homozygous comparison model, the Thr307Ala-Asn680Ser polymorphism is a risk factor for male infertility in the white population, with the OR of 1.37 (95% CI: 1.03-1.82, P = 0.003) and 1.21 (95% CI: 1.00-1.47, P = 0.048), respectively.
Conclusions:
In the homozygous model (GG vs AA), the FSHRThr307Ala-Asn680Ser gene polymorphism might be a protective factor against male infertility.
