Abstract

Abstract : Background: Atherosclerosis remains a predominant cause of ischemic stroke (IS). Four miRNA polymorphisms associated with arteriosclerosis mechanism were meta-analyzed to explore whether they had predictive significance for IS. Methods: PubMed, Excerpta Medica database, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Scopus, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and China Wanfang Database were searched for relevant case-control studies published before September 2022. Two researchers independently reviewed the studies and extracted the data. Data synthesis was carried out on eligible studies. Meta-analysis, subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis, and publication bias analysis were performed using Stata software 16.0. Results: Twenty-two studies were included, comprising 8879 cases and 12, 091 controls. The results indicated that there were no significant associations between miR-146a C>G (rs2910164), miR-196a2 T>C (rs11614913) and IS risk in the overall analyses, but miR-149 T>C (rs2292832) and miR-499 A>G (rs3746444) increased IS risk under the allelic model, homozygote model and recessive model. The subgroup analyses based on Trial of Org 101072 in Acute Stroke Treatment classification indicated that rs2910164 increased small artery occlusion (SAO) risk under the allelic model, heterozygote model and dominant model; rs11614913 decreased the risk of SAO under the allelic model, homozygote model, heterozygote model and dominant model. Conclusion: This Meta-analysis showed that all 4 single nucleotide polymorphisms were associated with the risk of IS or SAO, even though the overall and subgroup analyses were not entirely consistent.
