However, the results remained inconclusive. In the present meta-analysis, we aimed to clarify the effect of ACE polymorphisms on AD risk using all available relevant data.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"sec002\"><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Systemic literature searches were performed using PubMed, Embase, Alzgene and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI).

For rs1799752 polymorphism, in overall analyses, the insertion (<jats:italic>I)<\/jats:italic>allele conferred increased risk to AD compared to the deletion (<jats:italic>D)<\/jats:italic>allele (<jats:italic>I<\/jats:italic>vs.<jats:italic>D<\/jats:italic>: OR = 1.091, 95% CI = 1.007\u20131.181,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>= 0.032); while the<jats:italic>I<\/jats:italic>carriers showed increased AD susceptibility compared with the<jats:italic>D<\/jats:italic>homozygotes (<jats:italic>II<\/jats:italic>+<jats:italic>ID<\/jats:italic>vs.<jats:italic>DD<\/jats:italic>: OR = 1.131, 95% CI = 1.008\u20131.270,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>= 0.036). However, none of the positive results passed FDR adjustment. In subgroup analysis restricted to late-onset individuals, the associations between rs1799752 polymorphism and AD risk were identified using allelic comparison (OR = 1.154, 95% CI = 1.028\u20131.295,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>= 0.015, FDR = 0.020), homozygotes comparison, dominant model and recessive model (<jats:italic>II<\/jats:italic>vs.<jats:italic>ID<\/jats:italic>+<jats:italic>DD<\/jats:italic>: OR = 1.272, 95% CI = 1.120\u20131.444,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>&lt; 0.001, FDR &lt; 0.001). Nevertheless, no significant association could be revealed after excluding studies not in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE).

After excluding HWE-deviated cohorts, significant associations were also revealed under homozygotes comparison, additive model (<jats:italic>ID<\/jats:italic>vs.<jats:italic>DD<\/jats:italic>: OR = 1.266, 95% CI = 1.045\u20131.534,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>= 0.016, FDR = 0.024) and dominant model (<jats:italic>II<\/jats:italic>+<jats:italic>ID<\/jats:italic>vs.<jats:italic>DD<\/jats:italic>: OR = 1.197, 95% CI = 1.062\u20131.350,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>= 0.003, FDR = 0.018) in North Europeans.
