Abstract
Background: Although endothelial cell protein C receptor (EPCR) gene Ser219Gly polymorphism has been associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE) susceptibility, no clear consensus has yet been reached. Objective and methods: A meta-analysis of 9,494 subjects from 13 individual studies was conducted to better elucidate the potential relationship between the EPCR gene Ser219Gly polymorphism and VTE. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were evaluated by using fixed or random effect models. Results: The current meta-analysis suggested that there was a significant association between EPCR gene Ser219Gly polymorphism and VTE under allelic (OR: 1.42, 95% CI: 1.21-1.66, P = 1.30 × 10(-5)), recessive (OR: 2.02, 95% CI: 1.44-2.85, P = 5.35 × 10(-5)), homozygous (OR: 2.24, 95% CI: 1.59-3.16, P = 3.66 × 10(-6)), and additive genetic models (OR: 1.63, 95% CI: 1.30-2.04, P = 2.24 × 10(-5)). Conclusions:EPCR gene Ser219Gly polymorphism was associated with an elevated risk of VTE and the Gly residue carriers of the EPCR gene might be predisposed to VTE.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 May 2017.
All research outputs
#20,425,762
of 22,977,819 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Physiology
#9,446
of 13,727 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#272,760
of 313,455 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Physiology
#192
of 257 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,977,819 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,727 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 313,455 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 257 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
