Objective To investigate the correlation of the polymorphism of the estrogen receptor alpha gene Pvu II site and coronary heart disease (CHD) in Chinese population.
Methods Such databases as CBM, CNKI, Wangfang database, VIP, MEDLINE, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, Springer, and Ovid were searched from their establishment date to November of 2010 to collect the case-control studies on the correlation of estrogen receptor alpha gene polymorphism Pvu II sites with coronary heart disease of the Chinese. The quality of included studies was evaluated, the available data was extracted, and then the RevMan5.0 software was used for Meta analyses.
Results Nine case-control studies were included, involving 1 464 cases with coronary heart disease and 1 203 cases in the control group. The results of Meta-analyses showed that, as to the correlation of the polymorphism of ER alpha gene Pvu II site T/C and CHD, there was no significant difference in the risk of CHD between people with different genotypes, i.e. the C allele versus T allele (OR=0.95, 95%CI 0.77 to 1.17, P=0.63), genotype of (TC + CC) versus TT (OR=0.97, 95%CI 0.73 to 1.28, P=0.81), genotype of TC versus TT (OR = 0.93, 95%CI 0.68 to 1.26, P=0.64), genotype of CC versus TT (OR=0.86, 95%CI 0.57 to 1.31, P=0.49).
Conclusion Estrogen receptor alpha gene polymorphism Pvu II site are not associated with the coronary heart disease in Chinese population.
