Association between plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) rs1799889 polymorphism and venous thromboembolism (VTE) were explored by many previous studies, yet the findings of these studies were conflicting. PAI-1 rs1799889 polymorphism may serve as a genetic marker of VTE. We aimed to better clarify the relationship between PAI-1 rs1799889 polymorphism and VTE in a larger combined population by performing a meta-analysis. Literatures were searched in Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). We used Review Manager to combine the results of individual studies. Forty-eight studies involving 14 806 participants were eligible for inclusion. Combined results revealed that PAI-1 rs1799889 polymorphism was significantly associated with VTE in Caucasians (dominant comparison: odds ratio [OR] 1.20, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.09-1.32; recessive comparison: OR 0.84, 95% CI 0.76-0.94; allele comparison: OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.02-1.15) and East Asians (dominant comparison: OR 1.60, 95% CI 1.17-2.19; allele comparison: OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.21-1.93). Further analyses obtained similar significant associations in these with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and these with Factor V Leiden mutation. Our findings supported that PAI-1 rs1799889 polymorphism may serve as one of the predisposing factors of VTE in both Caucasians and East Asians, especially in these with DVT and these with Factor V Leiden mutation. © 2019 The Authors.
