Association between CD24 Ala/Val polymorphism and multiple sclerosis risk: A meta analysis.

The aim of this study was to explore the association between CD24 Ala/Val polymorphism and susceptibility of multiple sclerosis (MS). A comprehensive literature search for relevant studies was performed on google scholar, PubMed, Web of science, Embase, the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure and the Chinese Biology Medicine. This meta-analysis was conducted using the STATA 11.0 software and the pooled odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was calculated. Seven case-control studies were included in this meta-analysis. The results showed significant association between CD24 Ala/Val polymorphism and susceptibility to MS. Stratified analysis by areas also showed significant association in Asians. However, no association was found in Europeans. This study suggested that the CD24 Val allele was associated with an increased risk of MS and larger-scale studies of populations are needed to explore the role of CD24 Ala/Val polymorphism during the pathogenesis of MS.
