The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the association between cyclin G-associated kinase (GAK) rs1564282 C/T polymorphism and Parkinson's disease (PD) susceptibility. GAK modifies cc-synuclein expression levels and affects susceptibility to PD. Genetic variation in GAK may influence the risk of occurrence and progression of PD. Many studies have evaluated the association between GAK rsl 564282 C/T polymorphism and the risk of PD. However, published data are still controversial. Nine case-control studies with a total of 8159 PD patients and 12,747 controls were included in the meta-analysis. The summary odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was calculated to estimate this association. Both the minor allele frequencies and the genotype distributions of rs1564282 within GAK were different between the two groups when all studies were pooled. Subgroup analysis by ethnicity showed GAK rs1564282 C/T polymorphism was significantly associated with increased risk in both Asian and Caucasian populations. This meta-analysis suggests that GAK rsl 564282 C/T polymorphism is associated with increased susceptibility to PD. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
