Meta AnalysisAssociation between IL-1B gene polymorphisms and Helicobacter pylori infection: A meta-analysis.
To clarify the impact of IL-1B gene polymorphisms (IL-1B-511C/T, IL-1B-31C/T, IL-1B+3954C/T) in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection by mean of a meta-analysis. ⋯ This meta-analysis suggested that IL-1B-511C/T polymorphism was related to the risk of H. pylori infection. Further larger studies with high quality are needed to conform these findings.

Meta AnalysisAssociation between the IL1B -31C > T polymorphism and Helicobacter pylori infection in Asian and Latin American population: A meta-analysis.
Host genetic factors that control the production of cytokines, including interleukin-1β (IL-1β), possibly affect susceptibility to many Helicobacter pylori-related diseases. There is a complex interplay between H. pylori infection, the subsequent production of certain cytokines, and H. pylori-related diseases. We conducted a meta-analysis to clarify the association between the IL1B -31C > T polymorphism and H. pylori infection, and possible subsequent pathogenic mechanisms. ⋯ Our meta-analysis demonstrated that IL1B -31C > T polymorphism might increase H. pylori infection risk in Asian and Latin American population. Further studies with different ethnicities and larger sample size are required to validate this result.
