Abstract
AIM: To investigate the association between lumican gene -1554 T/C polymorphism and high myopia susceptibility. METHODS: We searched the published literature in the Medline, Embase, and CBM databases from inception to July 2013. A meta-analysis was performed by the programs RevMan 5.1 and Stata 12.0, and the odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated in fixed or random effect model based on heterogeneity test among studies. RESLUTS: Seven case-control studies with a total of 1 233 cases and 936 controls were included. A statistical significant association with high myopia was observed in the recessive model (TT vs CT+CC: OR=1.92; 95%CI=1.14-3.23) and codominant model (TT vs CT: OR=1.81, 95%CI=1.19-2.75). CONCLUSION: The present meta-analysis suggested that lumican -1554 T/C polymorphism might be moderately associated with high myopia susceptibility. This conclusion warrants confirmation by further studies.
