Abstract

Osteoporosis has been reported to be at least partially developed in response to functional polymorphisms of the osteoprotegerin (OPG). However, conflicting results have been found. This meta-analysis aimed to provide an assessment of the relationship between the risk for developing osteoporosis and OPG T950C polymorphism in the Chinese population. Studies to be analyzed were identified with the literature search in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure during May 2017. Seven case-control studies that included a total of 1850 osteoporosis cases and 3074 controls were assessed in this meta-analysis. Overall, no significant associations could be detected between OPG T950C polymorphism and osteoporosis when all included studies were pooled into this meta-analysis. In a subgroup analyses, OPG T950C polymorphism was significantly associated with the osteoporosis risk in South China (CC+TC vs. TT: OR = 1.34, 95% CI = 1.17–1.54; CC vs. TC+TT: OR = 0.79, 95% CI = 0.69–0.95) and for studies that included postmenopausal osteoporosis (CC vs. TC+TT: OR = 0.78, 95% CI = 0.64–0.94) or hospital-based controls (CC vs. TC+TT: OR = 0.81, 95% CI = 0.68–0.96). In conclusion, the results of this meta-analysis suggest that OPG T950C polymorphism might be associated with an increased osteoporosis risk in the Chinese population.
