Abstract

Increasing evidence supports the potential role of iron metabolism in multiple sclerosis (MS). Previous studies examining the association between polymorphisms of the hemochromatosis gene (HFE) and susceptibility to MS have yielded inconsistent results. In the present study, a meta‑analysis of 7 studies was performed conducted in populations of Caucasian origin using the Comprehensive Meta‑analysis 3.0 software. The strength of association between the C282Y and H63D polymorphisms in HFE and MS risk was estimated by odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals. Cochran's Q statistic and I2 tests were applied to quantify heterogeneity between studies. An Egger's test was used to estimate publication bias. The C282Y and H63D polymorphisms had no significant association with increased MS risk (all P≥0.05) in the following genetic comparison models: Dominant model (YY + CY vs. CC or DD + HD vs. HH) and allele contrast (Y vs. C or D vs. H). No apparent publication bias or significant heterogeneity was found between studies. These results suggest that the HFE polymorphisms C282Y and H63D are not associated with susceptibility to MS in populations of Caucasian origin. Further studies should be performed in a larger series of MS patients to evaluate the contribution of HFE and other genetic variants associated with iron regulation in the development and progression of MS.
