The miR-146a polymorphism and susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis : a meta-analysis.
The aim of this study was to explore whether the miR-146a polymorphism (rs2910164) confers susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). ⋯ This meta-analysis demonstrates that the miR-146a polymorphism is not associated with susceptibility to SLE and RA. However, considering the small number of studies, further studies are needed to confirm this result.
