Objective  To investigate the association of the polymorphism of resistin gene SNP-420C/G and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) among the Chinese Han population.
Methods  Such databases as CNKI, WanFang database, VIP, SinoMed, and PubMed were electronically searched from January 2001 to July 2010 to collect case-control studies on polymorphism of resistin gene SNP-420C/G and T2DM among the Chinese Han population. The quality of the included studies was evaluated and the data was extracted. RevMan 4.2 software was used for meta-analyses.
Results  A total of five case-control studies were identified, involving 709 cases in the T2DM group and 572 cases in the control group. The results of meta-analysis showed that the Chinese Han population with CC genotypes of SNP-420 had no higher risks to T2DM (OR=1.02, 95%CI 0.81 to 1.29), and the Chinese Han population with GG genotypes of SNP-420 still had no higher risks to T2DM (OR=1.34, 95%CI 0.95 to 1.90).
Conclusion  Current evidence suggests that there is no association between the polymorphism of resistin gene SNP-420C/G and risk to T2DM among the Chinese Han population.
