Popis: The pathological mechanisms associated with the occurrence and development of Behcet's disease (BD) are not yet known. Two large genome-wide association surveys revealed an association between interleukin (IL)-23R single nucleotide polymorphism and BD. This study aimed to investigate the association between IL-23R gene polymorphisms and BD susceptibility.Comprehensive literature search was performed across four online databases - PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of science. The included studies had to be published before May 15, 2019. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used to assess the quality of every included study, and pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated using the allele model of inheritance to evaluate the potential associations between IL-23R gene polymorphisms and BD risk.In all, 12 case-control studies comprising 6,926 BD patients and 10,211 controls were identified and included in this meta-analysis, in which 5 loci of IL-23R gene polymorphisms were investigated. Of these 5 loci, 2 were found to be significantly associated with BD susceptibility: rs17375018 (G vs. A, OR = 1.50, 95% CI: 1.34-1.68,This meta-analysis indicated that rs17375018 (G/A) and rs924080 (T/C) were associated with BD susceptibility. However, association of the other IL-23R polymorphisms could not be estimated owing to the lack of studies.BD: Behcet's disease; SNP: single nucleotide polymorphism; HLA: human leukocyte antigen; IL: interleukin; OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; HWE: Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium; UK: United Kingdom; NOS: Newcastle-Ottawa scale; GWAS: genome-wide association study; TNF-α: tumor necrosis factor-α.
