Association between the AGTR1 A1166C polymorphism and risk of IgA nephropathy: a meta-analysis

J. M. Xu, Song, X., Gao, F., and Wang, R., Association between the AGTR1 A1166C polymorphism and risk of IgA nephropathy: a meta-analysis, vol. 14, pp. 19371-19381, 2015.

Numerous studies have evaluated the association between the A1166C polymorphism in the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AGTR1) gene and immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) risk. However, this relationship remains controversial. Our aim was to evaluate the relationship between this polymorphism and IgAN susceptibility by performing a meta-analysis. Articles were identified in the PubMed, Google Scholar, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases, and after selection, five eligible studies were included.
