| Abstract | The RANTES (regulated on activation normal T cell expressed and secreted) and MBL (mannose binding lectin) single-nucleotide polymorphisms have been repeatedly associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but the findings are not consistent across studies. The aim of this study was to determine whether the functional RANTES-28, -403 and MBL2 A/O polymorphisms confer susceptibility to SLE in multiple ethnic populations. A meta-analysis was conducted (allelic contrast, the additive model, the dominant model and the recessive model) on RANTES with seven studies (four studies for RANTES-28: three Asian and one American studies; three studies for RANTES-403: two Asian and one European studies), MBL with eight studies (five European and three American studies). OR is used as a measure of the effect of the association in a fixed/random effects model. The meta-analysis indicated that none of the two polymorphisms in gene of the RANTES showed any significant association with SLE risk, respectively, except for the recessive model (OR = 1.24, 95 % CI: 1.01–1.52, P = 0.04) in all study subjects combined with the two polymorphisms. According to the MBL2 A/O polymorphism, the results indicated a significant association between the polymorphism and SLE in allelic contrast (OR = 0.83, 95 % CI: 0.73–0.93, P = 0.002). While stratified by ethnicity in European, no significant association was found. In summary, the present study suggests that the RANTES-28, -403 polymorphisms do not associate with SLE, but the MBL2 A/O polymorphism might associate with SLE. |

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.
