Meta-analysis of the IL-10 promoter polymorphisms and pediatric asthma susceptibility
“Meta-analysis of the IL-10 promoter polymorphisms and pediatric asthma susceptibility”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.
, The results of previous epidemiological studies exploring the relationship between interleukin-10 (IL-10) promoter polymorphisms and susceptibility to pediatric asthma are not consistent. Therefore, we have performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to provide a more convincing conclusion. Odds ratios (OR) with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to evaluate the strength of association between the IL-10 promoter polymorphisms and susceptibility to pediatric asthma. Publication bias was examined by Begg’s funnel plots and the Egger test.
