Abstract | Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is the most common cause of stroke in children. As it is a rare disease, studies investigating the association with complications like stroke in SCD have small sample sizes. Here, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the studies exploring an association of genetic variants with stroke to get a better indication of their association with stroke. PubMed and Google Scholar were searched to identify studies that had performed an association analysis of genetic variants for the risk of stroke in SCA patients. After screening of eligible studies, summary statistics of association analysis with stroke and other general information were extracted. Meta-analysis was performed using the fixed effect method on the tool METAL and forest plots were plotted using the R program. The random effect model was performed as a sensitivity analysis for loci where significant heterogeneity was observed. 407 studies were identified using the search term and after screening 37 studies that cumulatively analyzed 11,373 SCA patients were included. These 37 studies included a total of 2,222 SCA patients with stroke, predominantly included individuals of African ancestry (N = 16). Three of these studies performed whole exome sequencing while 35 performed single nucleotide-based genotyping. Though the studies reported association with 132 loci, meta-analyses could be performed only for 12 loci that had data from two or more studies. After meta-analysis we observed that four loci were significantly associated with risk for stroke: -α3.7 kb |
