Aim:
Previous studies have discussed association of FcγRIIA-R/H131 polymorphism and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), lupus nephritis (LN) risk. However, conclusions were inconsistent.
Methods:
A meta-analysis was performed in this study with allelic contrast (allele R vs H), additive model (genotype RR vs HH), recessive model (genotype RR vs RH + HH), and dominant model (genotype RR + RH vs HH).
Results:
A total of 33 studies discussed the correlation between FcγRIIA-R/H131 polymorphism and SLE, involving 5652 SLE patients and 6322 controls. Allele R was significantly related to SLE in the overall population (odds ratio [OR] = 1.238, P < .001), Asian (OR = 1.237, P < .001) and European population (OR = 1.212, P = .012). Additive, recessive and dominant models were correlating with SLE in the overall population (OR = 1.448, P < .001; OR = 1.303, P < .001; OR = 1.310, P < .001), Asian population (OR = 1.640, P = .001; OR = 1.437, P < .001; OR = 1.344, P = .005), respectively. In addition, 22 studies evaluated relation of FcγRIIA-R/H131 polymorphism with LN, involving 2065 patients with LN, and 2023 patients without LN. Results showed that allele R and the other 3 models related to LN susceptibility in the overall population when discussing differences of polymorphism between patients with/without LN. We further compared differences of polymorphism between patients with LN and controls, showing that additive and recessive models related to LN risk in the overall population, Asian, European and North American populations.
Conclusion:
In summary, FcγRIIA-R/H131 polymorphism is associated with SLE and LN.
