Abstract
BACKGROUND
This study aimed to investigate the role of serine protease inhibitor Kazal-type 5 (SPINK5) polymorphisms (Asn368Ser, Asp386Asn and Glu420Lys) and the risk of atopic dermatitis (AD).
METHODS
Studies associated with SPINK5 mutations and AD risk were searched from three databases, including PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane library, with a retrieval deadline of April 22, 2019. An odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was chosen as the effect size. Egger's linear regression test was enrolled to assess the level of publication bias.
RESULTS
Overall, 6 studies met the inclusion criteria for meta-analysis. Significantly statistical differences were calculated between patients with AD and healthy individuals on Asn368Ser polymorphism in the allele model (G vs A: OR = 1.2643, 95% CI = 1.0666-1.4987, P = .0069), co-dominant model (GG vs AA: OR = 1.6609, 95% CI = 1.1736-2.3505, P = .0042; GA vs AA: OR = 1.5448, 95% CI = 1.1263-2.1189, P = .0070), and dominant model (GG+GA vs AA: OR = 1.5700, 95% CI = 1.1656-2.1146, P = .0030). However, no statistically significant difference was found in the recessive model for Asn368Ser and other genetic models for Asp386Asn and Glu420Lys (all P > .05). No significant publication bias was found.
CONCLUSION
The SPINK5 Asn368Ser polymorphism may be a risk factor for AD.
