Background:

Cytokines, which are involved in immunological responses, play important role in the development and progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). The functional polymorphisms identified in cytokine genes are thought to influence PD risk. However, the findings of studies investigating the association between cytokine gene polymorphisms and PD risk are still controversial. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis, in order to investigate the potential associations between cytokine gene polymorphisms and PD.

Methods:

Studies of PD and cytokine polymorphisms were identified by searches of PubMed and PDGene. Pooled analyses were performed to assess the association between cytokine gene polymorphisms and PD.

Results:

Our results indicated a positive association of TNFα -1031 CC genotype in overall analysis(CC vs. TT: OR=3.146; 95%CI: 1.631-6.070, p=0.008; CC vs. CT+TT: OR=3.187; 95%CI: 1.657-6.128, p=0.008), and an Asian subgroup, C variant(OR=1.328; 95%CI: 1.053-1.675, p=0.034) also conveyed an increased PD risk as well as CC genotype (CC vs. TT: OR=3.207; 95%CI: 1.614-6.373, p=0.004; CC vs. CT+TT: OR=3.238; 95%CI: 1.636-6.410, p=0.004). A decreased risk for PD was associated with IL-6-174C allele (OR=0.761; 95%CI: 0.641-0.903, p=0.008) and IL-1RA VNTR 2 allele(OR=0.641; 95%CI: 0.456-0.826 p=0.004). For the polymorphisms of IL-1β C[-511]T, IL-1α C[-889]T, TNFα G[-308]A, and IL-10 G[-1082]A no significant association was found between the gene polymorphisms and PD risk.

Conclusions:

Our meta-analysis suggested that gene polymorphisms of TNFα -1031, IL-6-174 and IL-1RA VNTR may be associated with PD risk. However, more large well-designed studies will be necessary to validate our findings.
