| Abstract | Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an important mediator of atherosclerotic disease and is also associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). The growing evidences suggest that polymorphisms in the IL-6 promoter region influence the progression of CAD. This study was performed to update the systematic results of association of IL-6 gene polymorphisms with CAD.PubMed, Embase, and China Biology Medicine were searched systematically for English and Chinese articles published up to October 31, 2014. Data were extracted using standardized forms. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of associations. Subgroup analyses were made on ethnicity.A total of 42 studies including 15,145 cases and 21,496 controls were combined in this meta-analysis. IL-6 gene −174G/C polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of CAD (for C allele versus G allele: OR = 1.11, 95 % CI 1.02–1.20; for C/C versus G/G: OR = 1.21, 95 % CI 1.03–1.42; for C/C + C/G versus G/G: OR = 1.14, 95 % CI 1.03–1.27). In the subgroup analyses based on ethnicity, a significant association was found between −174 G/C polymorphism and CAD in Caucasians (for C allele versus G allele: OR = 1.12, 95 % CI 1.03–1.22; for C/C versus G/G: OR = 1.21, 95 % CI 1.02–1.42; for C/C + C/G versus G/G: OR = 1.16, 95 % CI 1.05–1.29). In order to reduce heterogeneity, we removed the outlier studies by a Galbraith plot analysis. As a result, the pooled ORs demonstrated no association of −174G/C polymorphism and CAD (C allele versus G allele: OR = 1.02, 95 % CI 0.97–1.06, p = 0.48; C/C versus G/G: OR = 0.1.03, 95 % CI 0.94–1.13, p = 0.48; C/G + C/C versus G/G: OR = 1.03, 95 % CI 0.96–1.09, p = 0.41; C/C versus C/G + G/G: OR = 1.02, 95 % CI 0.94–1.10, p = 0.70, respectively). The polymorphism of −572 G/C was not associated with CAD significantly (for C allele versus G allele: OR = 0.86, 95 % CI 0.74–1.01; C/C versus G/G: OR = 0.99, 95 % CI 0.43–2.27; C/G + C/C versus G/G: OR = 0.96, 95 % CI 0.80–1.15, respectively). In addition, subgroup analyses showed an association between −572 G/C polymorphism and CAD risk among Chinese (C allele versus G allele: OR = 0.64, 95 % CI 0.48–0.85; C/C versus G/G: OR = 0.38, 95 % CI 0.18–0.81; C/G + C/C versus G/G: OR = 0.47, 95 % CI 0.22–1.00; C/C versus C/G + G/G: OR = 0.58, 95 % CI 0.42–0.81).The C allele of −174G/C polymorphism may associate with increased sensibility to CAD among Caucasians in overall analysis. Nevertheless, the effect is interfered by heterogeneity across the included studies. The C allele of −572G/C polymorphism may decrease the risk of CAD in Chinese. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
