Conflicting results identifying the association between coiled-coil domain containing 62 (CCDC62) polymorphism, rs12817488, and Parkinson's disease (PD) have been reported. To clarify whether rs12817488 is related to PD risk in Chinese population, we carried out this meta-analysis by searching literature from PubMed and Embase database regarding this polymorphism. Three eligible studies involving 1616 cases and 1649 controls were included in this meta-analysis. Our results showed statistically significant association between rs12817488 and PD risk in all four genetic models. Stratification by gender revealed similar results in both subgroup in these genetic models except for recessive model, in which rs12817488 was not significantly associated with PD in male subgroup. Unstable result was found in recessive model via sensitivity analysis, and publication bias was observed in recessive model as well, indicating that the pooled result from recessive model should be cautiously treated. Our meta-analysis implicates a possible relationship between rs12817488 and PD risk in Chinese population. Further validation of this association in large sample size study with different gender is warranted.
