Several genes have been reported to be linked to HA adaptation. Previous studies showed that the endothelial nitric oxide synthase(ENOS) G894 T polymorphism contributed to the physiology and pathophysiology of humans at HA by regulating the production of NO. In this meta-analysis, we evaluate the association between the ENOS G894 T polymorphism and HA adaptation through analyzing the published data. Methods: We searched all relevant literature about the ENOS G894 T polymorphism and HA adaptation in Pub Med, Medline, and Embase before Step 2015. A random-effects model was applied(Revman 5.0), and study quality was assessed in duplicate. Six studies with 634 HA native cases and 621 low-altitude controls were included in this meta-analysis. Results: From the results, we observed that the wild-type allele G was significantly overrepresented in the HA groups(OR=1.85; 95% CI, 1.47–2.33; P<0.0001). In addition, the GG genotype was significantly associated with HA adaptation(OR=1.99; 95% CI, 1.54–2.57; P<0.0001). Conclusion: Our results showed that in 894 G allele carriers, the GG genotype might be a beneficial factor for HA adaptation through enhancing the level of NO. However, more studies were needed to confirm our findings due to the limited sample size.展开更多
