Objective: The aim of this study is to determine whether tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 1-complement 5 (TRAF1-C5) polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in different populations.
Methods: We conducted a meta-analysis of associations between the TRAF1-C5 polymorphisms and RA susceptibility.
Results: A total of 24 comparative studies were included in this meta-analysis, including 22,682 patients with RA and 23,493 controls. The meta-analysis showed an association between the second allele of rs10818488 and RA in Europeans, but not in Asians (OR 1.229, 95% CI 1.094-1.381, p = 0.001; OR 1.060, 95% CI 0.930-1.335, p = 0.092). The meta-analysis also indicated an association between the second allele of rs3761847 and RA in Europeans, but not in Asians (OR 1.156, 95% CI 1.006-1.327, p = 0.041; OR 1.049, 95% CI 0.952-1.156, p = 0.333). The meta-analysis revealed an association between the second allele of the rs2900180 and rs10760130 polymorphisms and RA risk in Europeans (OR 1.224, 95% CI 1.065-1.405, p = 0.004; OR 1.072, 95% CI 1.002-1.147, p = 0.042).
Conclusions: This meta-analysis confirms that the TRAF1-C5 rs10818488, rs3761847, rs2900180 and rs10760130 polymorphisms are associated with RA susceptibility in Europeans.
