Abstract excerpt
No clear consensus has been reached on the Interleukin-1A (IL-1A) -889C/T polymorphism and Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. In this meta-analysis, 27 case-control studies were assessed to evaluate the possible association. Overall, positive associations of the IL-1A -889C/T polymorphism with AD risk were found in allele comparison T vs. C (OR = 1.09, 95% CI = 1.01-1.18), recessive model TT vs. CT + CC (OR = 1.21,...
