The rationale for this meta-analysis was to determine whether <jats:italic>DBP<\/jats:italic> polymorphisms increases the risk of MS and T1DM by pooling data.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Potentially relevant studies were searched using GWAS Catalog, PubMed, Embase, CNKI and WANFANG databases up to November 2019. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were performed to estimate the associations in a fixed-effects or random-effects model.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A total of 13 studies were enrolled in this meta-analysis, including eight studies for MS and five for T1DM. The overall results showed that there was no significant association of <jats:italic>DBP<\/jats:italic> rs7041 and rs4588 polymorphisms with the risk of MS and T1DM under any genetic model. Similarly, subgroup analysis by ethnicity revealed that no significant association of rs7041 and rs4588 polymorphisms with the risk of MS and T1DM was observed in white or non-white racial groups.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This meta-analysis provides evidence that <jats:italic>DBP<\/jats:italic> rs7041 and rs4588 polymorphisms may not be associated with an increased risk in MS and T1DM. However, these findings need further validation by larger-scale epidemiological studies and genome-wide association studies (GWASs) in different
