Abstract

Background: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to find a consistent conclusion for the association between the interleukin 7 receptor alpha (IL7RA) gene rs6897932 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and multiple sclerosis (MS) risk. Methods: Here, we performed a comprehensive systematic search in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science to find relevant studies published before November 2020 investigating the association between rs6897932 SNP and MS risk. In the pooled analysis, we determined the odds ratio (OR) and the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) for the association level between rs6897932 SNP and the risk of MS. Results: In the current meta-analysis 33 case-control studies (30 articles) containing 19351 patients and 21005 healthy controls certify the inclusion criteria. According to the pooled analysis, a statistically significant association of IL7RA gene rs6897932 SNP with MS risk was found across recessive model (OR= 0.84, 95% CI= 0.77-0.92, P< 0.001, FEM), allelic model (OR= 0.91, 95% CI= 0.85-0.99, P= 0. 02, REM), TT vs. CC model (OR= 0.79, 95% CI= 0.67-0.93, P= 0.005, REM). Moreover, the subgroup analysis based on the ethnicity indicated a negative significant association in Europeans; dominant model (OR= 0.88, 95% CI= 0.78-1.01, P= 0.06, REM), recessive model (OR= 0.79, 95% CI= 0.71-0.88, P< 0.001, REM), allelic model (OR= 0.88, 95% CI= 0.81-0.96, P= 0.003, REM), TT vs. CC model (OR= 0.74, 95% CI= 0.61-0.88, P<0.001, REM) models. Nonetheless, no significant association was detected in Asians and Americans. Conclusions: IL7RA gene rs6897932 SNP decreases MS susceptibility in overall population and Europeans. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
