Abstract
Some research reported that polymorphisms in the toll-Like receptor 4 may have influence on asthma risk. Here, we sought to estimate the effects of Toll-Like Receptor 4 (Asp299Gly) genes on asthma risk. Databases including PubMed and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases were searched to find relevant studies. The odds ratio (OR) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was performed. A total of 12 case-control studies were finally identified. This meta-analysis indicated that no significant association was found between TLR4 (Asp299Gly) genes and asthma risk (OR = 0.91, 95% CI = 0.71-1.12). In conclusion, our findings suggest that TLR4 +896A>G (Asp299Gly) polymorphism may not contribute to the risk of asthma.Entities:
