Methods: The correlation between CD32a polymorphism rs1801274 and the susceptibility to KD was appraised using summarized odds ratios (ORs) with their 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Besides, stratification analyses were further implemented on the basis of ethnicity and control source, respectively. Between-study heterogeneity was checked adopting chi-square-based Q test, with pˋ<ˋ.05 as significant level. And results from Q test determined which model would be employed for OR calculation, fixed- or random-effects. Sensitivity analysis was accomplished to test the stability of final results. Potential publication bias among included studies was investigated using Begg*s funnel plot and Egger*s test. If publication bias was significant, its influence on overall estimates would be measured adopting the trim-and-fill method. Results: CD32a polymorphism rs1801274 significantly increased KD risk in total analysis under the comparisons of AA vs. GG, AAˋ+ˋAG vs. GG, AA vs. GGˋ+ˋAG, A vs. G and AG vs. GG (OR = 2.69, 95% CI = 1.39每5.20; OR = 2.00, 95% CI = 1.23每3.26; OR = 1.90, 95% CI = 1.23每2.94; OR = 1.77, 95% CI = 1.34每2.34; OR = 1.53, 95% CI = 1.07每2.19). After stratification analysis by ethnicity, similar tendency was also observed in Caucasian and Asian subgroups under corresponding genetic models. And parallel results were replicated in population-based and other-source subgroups after stratified analysis by control source, under some contrasts. Conclusion: CD32a polymorphism rs1801274 has strong relation to KD onset, and the presence of its A allele could elevate the disease incidence %U https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/21691401.2019.1645156
