Correlation between the genetic polymorphism of ORMDL3 gene and asthma risk: a meta-analysis

W. H. Zhai, Song, C. Y., Huang, Z. G., and Sha, H., Correlation between the genetic polymorphism of ORMDL3 gene and asthma risk: a meta-analysis, vol. 14, pp. 7101-7112, 2015.

While increasing scientific evidence suggests that the ORMDL3 rs7216389 polymorphism may contribute to a higher susceptibility to asthma, many of the current studies have yielded inconclusive results. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the association between the ORMDL3 rs7216389 polymorphism and the risk of asthma. An extensive literature search for relevant studies was conducted in PubMed, Embase, the Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Google Scholar. This meta-analysis was performed using the STATA 12.0 software.
