Polymorphisms in the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene may influence the risk of ischemic stroke (IS), but the results are still debatable. A meta-analysis was performed to investigate the association between the eNOS gene polymorphisms in IS risk. Case–control studies on the association between the G894T, T-786C, and 4b/a polymorphisms and IS were searched up to July 2012, and the genotype frequencies in the control group were found to be consistent with the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (HWE). The effect summary odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were obtained. Meta-regression was used to explore the potential sources of heterogeneity. Funnel plots and Egger's test was used to estimate small study biases, and heterogeneity was assessed by chi-square-based Q-test andI2test. There were total 6537/6475 cases/controls for G894T, 3459/3951 cases/controls for 4b/a, and 2125/2673 cases/controls for T-786C polymorphism. For G894T and 4b/a, a significant association of 894 T allele and 4a allele with increased risk of IS was found in Asians (TT + GT vs. GG:p< 0.00001,OR= 1.60, 95% CI = 1.38–1.79,Pheterogeneity= 0.11; aa + ba vs. bb:P< 0.00001,OR= 1.60, 95% CI = 1.30–1.97,Pheterogeneity= 0.02), but not in Caucasians (TT + GT vs. GG:P= 0.60,OR= 0.94, 95% CI = 0.75–1.19,Pheterogeneity= 0.002; aa + ba vs. bb:P= 0.13,OR= 0.81, 95% CI = 0.62–1.06,Pheterogeneity= 0.63). For T-786C polymorphism, there were no significant differences in genotype distribution between IS and control in Asians (CC + TC vs. TT:P= 0.15,OR= 1.14, 95% CI = 0.95–1.37,Pheterogeneity= 0.94) and in Caucasians (CC + TC vs. TT:P= 0.72,OR= 0.96, 95% CI = 0.75–1.22,Pheterogeneity= 0.53). This analysis provides strong evidence that the eNOS T-786C gene polymorphism is not associated with IS, the G894T and 4b/a polymorphisms might be associated with IS, at least in Asians.
