PURPOSE: To confirm the association of all reported common polymorphisms with POAG. METHODS: We searched in PubMed and Web of Science (up to January 10, 2018) for genetic studies of POAG. All case control studies investigating the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and POAG risk were included. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by fixed- or random-effect model. RESULTS: This meta-analysis included 108 case control studies involving 35,389 POAG patients and 51,742 controls. The pooled results showed a significant association between 20 SNPs in 12 genes (148Asp/Glu in APE1 gene; rs449647 in APOE gene; rs1052990 and rs4236601 in CAV1/CAV2 gene; rs1799750 in MMP gene; c.603T3A (Met98Lys) in OPTN gene; rs7081455 in PLXDC2 gene; rs1279683 in SLC23A2 gene; 372 T/C in TIMP1 gene; rs1927911, rs2149356, rs4986791, rs7037117, and rs10759930 in TLR4 gene; rs4656461 in TMCO1 gene; 399Arg/Gln in XRCC1 gene; and rs540782, rs547984, and rs693421 in ZP4 gene) with POAG. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the current meta-analysis, we indicate 20 SNPs in 12 genes (APE1, APOE, CAV1/CAV2, MMP, OPTN, PLXDC2, SLC23A2, TIMP1, TLR4, TMCO1, XRCC1, ZP4) as predictive risk factors for POAG. More studies with large sample sizes and various ethnicities are warranted in the future to provide more powerful evidence.
