ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between the G196A and C270T polymorphism and epilepsy.MethodsDatabase including PubMed, EMbase, the Cochrane Library, CNKI and Wan fang data were retrieved upto September, 2017 to collect the case-control study concerning BDNF two polymorphisms G196A/C270T and epilepsy. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted the data, and assessed the quality of methodology. Then Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2 software.Results①A total of 9 studies were included in the Meta-analysis between BDNF G196A and epilepsy. The studies included 1841 epilepsy patients and 6467 healthy control subjects. The G allele increase the risk of epilepsy[OR=1.13, 95%CI (1.06–1.21), P=0.0001]. When stratified by Asian and western subgroup, a similar trend of associated was detected with Asian epilepsy patients [OR=1.13, 95%CI (1.05–1.20), P=0.0004]. When stratified by epilepsy type, the G allele increase the risk of temporal lobe epilepsy [OR=1.18, 95%CI (1.04–1.34), P=0.008]. ② The Meta-analysis between BDNF C270T and epilepsy included 4 studies, 594 epilepsy patients and 738 healthy control subjects. The result suggested the frequency of the CT genotype and of the C270T T allele was not associated with epilepsy.ConclusionsBDNF G196A polymorphism is a susceptibility locus for temporal lobe epilepsy and Asian epilepsy patients.
