Objective:To investigate the association between ATP binding casette transporter A1(ABCA1) gene R1587K polymorphism and coronary heart disease susceptibility. Methods:Literature was retrieved in electronic databases covering PubMed,Web of Science,CNKI,WanFang and VIP up to Jun,2014 to collect the case-control studies on ABCA1 gene R1587K polymorphism and coronary heart disease susceptibility. The odds ratios(ORs) and 95% conidence intervals(CIs) were taken as the effect indexes,either the fixed or random effect model was applied to conduct Meta-analysis by Stata 11.0 software in heterozygote,homozygote,dominant,and recessive genetic models,respectively. Results:A total of 5 case-control studies were identified,involving 2 032 cases and 11 492 controls. The current Meta-analysis showed that the AB-CA1 gene R1587K polymorphism was significantly associated with coronary heart disease under homozygote and dominant genetic model(homozygote:OR=1.140,95%CI=1.028~1.266,POR=0.014;dominant:OR=1.124,95%CI=1.017~1.243,POR=0.022). Subgroup analysis results by ethnicity were significantly associated with Caucasian. Conclusion:The current Meta-analysis suggests that ABCA1 gene R1587K polymorphism might be associated with coronary heart disease susceptibility in Asian. Further studies are needed to val-idate the above conclusion.
