BackgroundParkinson's disease (PD) is the second most frequent neurodegenerative disorder. Previous publications have investigated the association of NOS1 and ABCB1 polymorphisms with PD risk. However, those studies have provided some contradictory results.MethodsLiterature searches were performed using PubMed, Embase, PDgene, China National Knowledge Infrastructure database, and Google Scholar. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were applied to evaluate the strength of association.ResultsThe analysis results indicated that NOS1 exon18 polymorphism was associated with developing PD in 4 genetic models (allelic: OR = 1.25, 95%CI 1.09-1.44, P = 0.001; homozygous: OR = 1.79, 95%CI 1.32-2.45, P ConclusionThe NOS1 exon18 and ABCB1 1236C/T variants might play a role in the risk of Parkinson's disease, whereas NOS1 exon29 and ABCB1 3435C/T polymorphisms might not contribute to PD susceptibility.
