Background:
Relationship between endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) polymorphisms and predisposition to coronary artery disease (CAD) are still controversial and ambiguous. So we performed this meta-analysis to more precisely estimate relationship between eNOS polymorphisms and CAD by pooling the results of already published studies.
Methods:
We searched Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science and CNKI for eligible studies. We used Review Manager to pool the results of eligible studies.
Results:
One hundred and fifty-five studies were included in this meta-analysis. We found that eNOS rs1799983, rs2070744 and rs869109213 polymorphisms were all significantly associated with CAD in the general population. We also detected similar significant results for eNOS rs1799983, rs2070744 and rs869109213 polymorphisms in both Caucasians and Asians in further subgroup analyses.
Conclusions:
This meta-analysis demonstrated that eNOS rs1799983, rs2070744 and rs869109213 polymorphisms might influence predisposition to CAD in both Caucasians and Asians.
