IL1A and IL1B gene polymorphisms and keratoconus susceptibility: evidence from an updated meta-analysis

Conclusion: These findings propose that the studied IL1B polymorphisms and the IL1A variation have opposite effects on KTCN susceptibility. More large-scale replication studies are warranted to illuminate the precise role of these SNPs on the etiology of eye disorders.PMID:33978542 | DOI:10.1080/13816810.2021.1925926
