title: Interleukin-10-1082 G/a polymorphism and acute renal graft rejection: a meta-analysis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this study was to investigate the association between interleukin (IL)-10-1082 (G/A) promoter polymorphism and acute rejection (AR) in renal transplant recipients.
  
  
  METHODS
  We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register from the inception to March 2015 for relevant studies. Data concerning publication information, population characteristics, and transplant information were extracted. Odds ratios (ORs) was calculated for the association between IL-10-1082 GG genotype (or IL-10-1082 G allele) and AR risk.
  
  
  RESULTS
  This meta-analysis included 22 case-control studies including 2779 cases of renal transplant recipients. The pooled estimate showed that the IL-10-1082 GG genotype was not significantly associated with AR risk (ORrandom=1.07, 95% CI 0.80-1.43, p = 0.64). Similarly, the pooled estimate showed that the IL-10-1082 G allele was not significantly associated with AR risk (ORfixed=1.02, 95% CI 0.90-1.16, p = 0.74). None of subgroup analyses yielded significant results in the association between IL-10-1082 GG genotype (or IL-10-1082 G allele) and AR risk. Meta-regression confirmed that there was no significant correlation between the pre-selected trial characteristics and our study results.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This meta-analysis suggests that IL-10-1082 G/A polymorphism is not significantly associated with AR risk in renal transplant recipients.
