Abstract

A number of case-control studies have been conducted to clarify the association between ApoE polymorphisms and myocardial infarction (MI); however, the results are inconsistent. This meta-analysis was performed to clarify this issue using all the available evidence. Searching in PubMed retrieved all eligible articles. A total of 33 studies were included in this meta-analysis, including 18752 MI cases and 18963 controls. The pooled analysis based on all included studies showed that the MI patients had a decreased frequency of the ε2 allele (OR = 0.78, 95% CI = 0.70–0.87) and an increased frequency of the ε4 allele (OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.10–1.20); The results also showed a decreased susceptibility of MI in the ε2ε3 vs. ε3ε3 analysis (OR = 0.79, 95% CI = 0.68–0.90) and in the ε2 vs. ε3 analysis (OR = 0.78, 95% CI = 0.69–0.89), an increased susceptibility of MI in the ε3ε4 vs. ε3ε3 analysis (OR = 1.26, 95% CI = 1.12–1.41), in the ε4 vs. ε3 analysis (OR = 1.22, 95% CI = 1.12–1.32) and in the ε4ε4 vs. ε3ε3 analysis (OR = 1.59, 95% CI = 1.15–2.19). However, there were no significant associations among polymorphisms and MI for the following genetic models: frequency of the ε3 allele (OR = 0.99, 95% CI = 0.96–1.02); ε2ε2 vs. ε3ε3 analysis (OR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.40–1.32); or ε2ε4 vs. ε3ε3 analysis (OR = 1.10, 95% CI = 0.99–1.21). Our results suggested that the ε4 allele of ApoE is a risk factor for the development of MI and the ε2 allele of ApoE is a protective factor in the development of MI.
