Abstract

Objective: In recent years, a number of case–control studies have focused on the association between the DJ-1 g.168_185del polymorphism and the risk of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the results have been conflicting. To estimate the relationship between the DJ-1 g.168_185del polymorphism and PD susceptibility, a comprehensive meta-analysis was performed. Methods: Eligible studies concerning the DJ-1 g.168_185del polymorphism and PD susceptibility were searched for in the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Wanfang, CNKI, and VIP databases. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated to estimate the strength of the associations. In total, 11 studies were included in this meta-analysis, including 13 case–control studies with 2890 cases and 3043 controls. Results: This meta-analysis revealed that DJ-1 g.168_185del variants are associated with PD susceptibility in the non-Asian population, but not in the Asian population. Conclusions: Our meta-analysis suggests that DJ-1 gene variants are not associated with the risk of PD in the overall population.
