Abstract

The association between the risk of allograft rejection after organ transplantation and FAS gene polymorphism has been evaluated previously. However, inconsistent results have been reported. Hence, we conducted the most up-to-date meta-analysis to evaluate this association. All eligible studies reporting the association between FAS-670A>G polymorphism and the risk of allograft rejection published up to December 2019 were extracted using a comprehensive systematic database search in the Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed. The pooled odds ratios (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated to determine the association strength. This meta-analysis included six case-control studies with 277 patients who experienced allograft rejection and 1,001 patients who did not experience allograft rejection (controls) after organ transplantation. The overall results showed no significant association between FAS-670A>G polymorphism and the risk of allograft rejection in five genetic models (dominant model: OR=0.81, 95% CI=0.58-1.12; recessive model: OR=0.10, 95% CI=0.80-1.53; allelic model: OR=0.96, 95% CI=0.79-1.18; GG vs. AA: OR=0.92, 95% CI=0.62-1.36; and AG vs. AA: OR=0.75, 95% CI=0.52-1.08). Moreover, subgroup analysis according to ethnicity and age did not reveal statistically significant results. Our findings suggest that FAS-670A>G polymorphism is not associated with the risk of allograft rejection after organ transplantation. © 2021 Korean Society of Hematology. All rights reserved.
