Background: A few recent studies have suggested that regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) polymorphisms (-403 G/A, -28C/G) are associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and atopic dermatitis (AD). However, there still existed studies that did not confirm this correlation. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationships of RANTES and RA and AD using a meta-analysis. Methods: Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane library databases were systemically searched. Datawere extracted by two independent reviewers, and pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. Results: Eight studies were enrolled, including a total of 548 RA cases and 493 controls of -403G/A, 305 RA cases and 303 controls of -28C/G, and 705 AD cases and 578 controls of -403G/A in this meta-analysis. In RA, the overall OR and 95% CI of -403A were 1.41, 1.10-1.82 (p = 0.391) and 2.18, 1.30-3.66 (p = 0.335) in dominant and recessive models, respectively. The overall OR and 95% CI of -28G in RA were 1.35, 0.91-2.01 (p = 0.707) and 3.32, 1.29-8.52 (p = 0.559) in dominant and recessive models, respectively. Moreover, the overall OR and 95% CI of -403A in AD were 1.38, 1.08-1.76 (p = 0.421) and 1.06 and 0.65-1.72 (p = 0.361) in dominant and recessive models, respectively. Conclusions: This meta-analysis showed that RANTES -403G/A and -28C/G were not associated with RA and AD.
