Abstract

According to the World Health Organization, infertility means that a couple will not have children after 12 months of unprotected sex. Half of all cases of infertility are due to male factors. Environmental and genetic factors play a role in idiopathic infertility in men. Genetic polymorphisms in cytokine family genes may be an important risk factor for male infertility. This study aimed to investigate the association of C3953T polymorphism in the interleukin-1-beta gene with male infertility through a meta-analysis approach. For this study, an electronic search was conducted in reputable databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. Finally, three eligible studies were included in our meta-analysis. The results of the meta-analysis showed that C3953T polymorphism was associated with male infertility in allelic model (OR= 1.2143, 95% CI= 1.0057; 1.4662, p= 0.0433) and homozygous codominant model (OR= 3.0292, 95% CI= 1.5681; 5.8519, p= 0.00097). Another study also showed that there was no publication bias in our study and a sensitivity analysis showed that the exclusion of one study could not have a significant effect on the pooled ORs. Based on these results, the C3953T polymorphism may be a genetic risk factor for idiopathic infertility in men. However, due to the limited number of studies in this meta-analysis, further studies with higher sample sizes and different races are needed to obtain more accurate results.

Graphical Abstract

C3953T genetic variation in interleukin 1β and idiopathic male infertility: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Highlights

  • Cytokines may play an important role in the male reproductive system, and alterations in their structure and function may increase the risk of male infertility.
  • Interleukin-1-beta may affect sperm function by influencing oxidative stress.
  • The C3953T polymorphism in interleukin-1-beta may be a genetic risk factor for male infertility.
