UNASSIGNED: @entity1476 ( @entity1476 ) @entity37056 and @entity1495 @entity15606 polymorphisms have been indicated in the predisposition to @entity46 . However, due to the small sample sizes of previous studies, the results remain inconclusive. The present meta-analysis was conducted to detect the association between the two genetic polymorphisms and the risk of @entity46 by pooling all the available data. Electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and CNKI, were searched comprehensively for studies examining a link between @entity1476 and @entity1495 polymorphisms and @entity46 . The strength of the association was assessed based on the pooled odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval, which was calculated using either the fixed- or random-effect model. Following the inclusion criteria, 6 case-control studies were included. The total number of @entity1 was 2,486 (558 cases and 797 controls concerning the @entity1495 @entity15606 polymorphism, and 525 cases and 606 controls concerning the @entity1476 @entity37056 polymorphism). No significant association was identified between the @entity1476 @entity37056 or @entity1495 @entity15606 polymorphism and @entity46 . In further stratified analysis, no significant association was identified between the @entity1495 @entity15606 polymorphism and @entity46 . The present meta-analysis revealed no association between the @entity1476 @entity37056 and @entity1495 @entity15606 polymorphisms and the risk of developing @entity46 . Considering the limitations of the meta-analysis, well-designed studies with larger sample sizes are required.
