Abstract

Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a complex autoimmune disease. NOD2/CARD15 gene has been suggested to play an important role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and PsA. This study aims to assess the association between NOD2/CARD15 polymorphisms and the susceptibility to psoriasis/PsA. A meta-analysis was performed to survey studies on the NOD2/CARD15 polymorphisms and psoriasis/PsA using comprehensive PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science citation search. A total of 9 published studies were involved. Meta-odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) based on fixed effects models or random effects models were depended on Cochran’s Q-statistic. Potential publication bias was evaluated by Egger’s linear regression test. As for R702W, the pooled ORs were 1.041 (95% CI 0.854–1.268, P = 0.693; 2,081 patients vs. 2,717 controls) for C allele and 0.886 (95% CI 0.565–1.391. P = 0.600; 1,222 patients vs. 1,818 controls) for genotype. Then for G908R, the pooled ORs were 1.042 (95% CI, 0.761–1.426, P = 0.799; 2,053 patients vs. 2,743 controls) for C allele and 0.942 (95% CI 0.708–1.254, P = 0.683; 1,226 patients vs. 1,824 controls) for the homozygous wild type. Then for Leu1007fsinsC allele polymorphism and genotype, the pooled ORs were 1.160 (95% CI, 0.893–1.507, P = 0.266; 2,279 patients vs. 3,067 controls) and 1.266 (95% CI 0.897–1.789, P = 0.180; 1,979 patients vs. 1,607 controls), respectively. No obvious publication bias was shown in the results. The association between NOD2/CARD15 polymorphisms and psoriasis/PsA was not found. Taken together, our results suggest that NOD2/CARD15 might not be a susceptibility gene for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.
