AbstractObjective: Angiotensin II induces vasoconstriction and vascular smooth muscle growth via stimulation of the angiotensin II type I receptor (AGTR1). Some studies have reported an association between a genetic variant (A1166C) in the 3' un-translated region of AGTR1 and increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), but other have yielded apparently conflicting results. Methods: Literature-based meta-analyses were performed on 48 papers including 53 studies published before June 2008 in relation to the A1166C polymorphism (NCBI, dbSNP: rs5186) of the AGTR1, involving a total of 20,435 CHD cases and 23,674 controls. We also explored potential sources of heterogeneity and conducted appropriate stratified analyses. Results: In a combined analysis, the per-allele odds ratio (OR) for CHD of the A1166C polymorphism was 1.11 (95% confidence interval: 1.03-1.19), but there is an indication of publication bias and heterogeneity among the 53 studies. Sample size and study quality were significant sources of heterogeneity among studies of the A1166C polymorphism with possibly overestimates in studies of smaller sample-size and poor-quality. When the analyses were restricted to 11 larger studies (≥500 cases), and to 8 high-quality studies (quality score: ≥11 points), the summary per-allele odds ratios were 0.992 (95% confidence interval, 0.944-1.042) and 0.990 (95% confidence interval, 0.915-1.072), respectively. Conclusions: An overall weak association between the A1166C polymorphism and CHD is observed but this is likely to be due to publication bias and heterogeneity between studies. There were no significant associations among the larger sample-size and high-quality studies which are less prone to selective publication and have greater power to detect a true association. © 2010 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
