Association of PON1 gene polymorphisms with polycystic ovarian syndrome risk: a meta-analysis of case–control studies

Abstract

Purpose

Evidences showed that paraoxonase 1 (PON1) gene polymorphism has an impact on women's susceptibility to polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) by influencing the expression and activity of PON1. However, the effects of three PON1 polymorphisms (− 108 C>T, L55M and Q192R) on the incidence of PCOS have generated inconsistent results. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the association between PON1 polymorphisms and PCOS risk.

Methods

All eligible trials were identified via systematic searches of multiple literature databases. Outcome data were synthesized by using crude odds ratio with 95% confidence interval. Heterogeneity was assessed with the I² test. Publication bias and subgroup analyses were also performed.

Results

A total of 2449 cases and 1977 controls from nine studies were selected for analysis. The pooled results showed a significant association between PCOS risk and PON1 − 108 C/T polymorphism in the following genetic models [allelic, 0.72 (0.56–0.92); homozygote, 0.51 (0.32–0.82); heterozygote, 0.44 (0.25–0.78); and dominant 0.47 (0.29–0.77)]. For the PON1 192 Q/R polymorphism, a significant relationship was found in the allelic model [0.62 (0.41–0.93)] and recessive model [0.61 (0.37–0.98)]. PCOS risk was also linked to PON1 L55M polymorphism in the heterozygote model [0.62 (0.39–0.98)] and dominant model [0.63 (0.41–0.96)].

Conclusions

Our study has shown that PON1 − 108 C/T polymorphism might be associated with increased risk of PCOS under the allelic, homozygote, heterozygote, and dominant models. Additionally, PON1 192 Q/R and L55M polymorphisms were significantly related only in the allelic and recessive model, and in the heterozygote and dominant model, respectively.
