Abstract	Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) remains a serious cardiovascular disorder across the world. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) codifies a potent immunomodulator and pro-inflammatory cytokine that mediates diverse pathological processes. A promoter 308G>A polymorphism in TNF-α has been implicated in RHD risk. However, the results remain controversial. Therefore, to evaluate more precise estimations of the relationship, a meta-analysis was performed. A total of 7 studies including 735 RHD cases and 926 controls were involved in this meta-analysis. Overall, our results revealed that there was a significant association with RHD risk in three genetic models (homozygous model: OR = 3.06, 95%CI = 1.22–10.60, P = 0.020; dominant model, OR = 2.03, 95%CI = 1.01–4.07, P = 0.048; and recessive model, OR = 4.26, 95%CI = 2.41–7.55, P < 0.001). Further ethnic population analysis found a significantly increased risk of RHD among Asians and Europeans. Interestingly, similar results were found among hospital-based studies. Begg's funnel plot and Egger's test did not reveal any publication bias. Taken together, this meta-analysis demonstrates that the TNF-α 308G>A polymorphism is associated with RHD susceptibility, and it contributes to the increased risk of RHD. However, additional well-designed studies with larger samples are warranted to confirm these findings.
