摘　　要：Background:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)is an autoimmune disease under genetic control.Growing evidences support the genetic predisposition ofHLA-DRB1 gene polymorphisms to SLE,yet the results are not often reproducible.The purpose of this study was to assess the association of two polymorphisms ofHLA-DRB1 gene (HLA-DR3and HLA-DR15)with the risk of SLE via a comprehensive meta-analysis. Methods:This study complied with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement.Case-control studies on HLA-DRB1 and SLE were searched from PubMed,Elsevier Science,Springer Link,Medline,and Cochrane Library database as of June 2018.Analysis was based on the random-effects model using STATA software version 14.0. Results:A total of 23studies were retained for analysis,including 5261cases and 9838controls.Overall analysis revealed that HLA-DR3 and HLA-DR15 polymorphisms were associated with the significant risk of SLE (odds ratio [OR]:1.60,95%confidence interval (CI):1.316-1.934,P =0.129and OR:1.68,95%CI:1.334-2.112,P =0.001,respectively).Subgroup analyses demonstrated that for both HLA-DR3and HLA-DR15polymorphisms,ethnicity was a possible source of heterogeneity.Specifically,HLA-DR3polymorphism was not associated with SLE in White populations (OR:1.60,95%CI:1.320-1.960,P =0.522)and HLA-DR15polymorphism in East Asian populations (OR:1.65,95%CI:1.248-2.173,P =0.001).In addition,source of control was another possible source for both HLA-DR3and HLA-DR15polymorphisms,with observable significance for HLA-DR3in only population-based studies (OR:1.65,95% CI:1.370-1.990,P =0.244)and for HLA-DR15in both population-based and hospital-based studies (OR:1.38,95%CI:1.078-1.760, P =0.123and OR:2.08,95%CI:1.738-2.490,P =0.881,respectively). Conclusions:HLA-DRB1 gene may be a SLE-susceptibility gene,and it shows evident ethnic heterogeneity.Further prospective validations across multiple ethnical groups are warranted.
