Abstract

Objective: To integrate the quantitatively existing evidences on nocturnal asthma
and their association with β2-adrenergic receptor (Arg16Gly and Glu27Gln)
polymorphism.
Methodology: The whole procedure for systematic review and meta-analysis
was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. The following databases Ovid,
PubMed, Wiley online library, Springer link and the Web of Knowledge were
searched for relevant articles. Random effect meta-analysis was conducted.
Heterogeneity was evaluated by I2 statistic. The funnel plots and the Eager tests
were used to assess the small study biases and potential publications.
Results: This systematic review and meta-analysis comprised a total of 9 studies.
The brief statement estimates suggested heterozygous Arg/Gly (OR =2.32;
95% CI =1.53-3.54; P value =<0.001), homozygous Gly (OR =4.78; 95% CI =2.60-
8.77, P-value =<0.001) and Gly allele (OR =1.71, 95% CI =1.14-2.56, P-value
=0.009) was significantly associated with nocturnal asthma. While Glu27Gln
polymorphism did not showed significant association with nocturnal asthma
both in genotype (OR =1.28; 95% CI =0.63-2.59; P-value =0.496) and allelic (OR
=1.65; 95% CI =0.64-4.27; P-value =0.301) analysis.
Conclusion: Heterozygous Arg/Gly, homozygous Gly/Gly and Gly Allele were
found to be significantly associated with nocturnal asthma.
