Objective: Studies investigating the associations between CX3CR1 genetic polymorphisms and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) have reported controversial results. Therefore, this meta-analysis aims to clarify the effects of CX3CR1 T280M and V249I polymorphisms on AMD risk.
Design: Meta-analysis.
Participants: Results from six studies were pooled in the meta-analysis.
Methods: Relevant studies were selected through an extensive search of PubMed, EMBASE, and the Web of Science databases. Pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using random-effects model.
Results: Six studies with were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. There was no significant association between CX3CR1 T280M polymorphism and risk of AMD under all genetic models (TT vs
Cc/ct: OR = 1.57, 95% CI = 0.87-2.84; CC vs TT/CT: OR = 0.75, 95% CI = 0.54-1.06; TT vs CC: OR = 0.58, 95% CI = 0.30-1.144; CT vs CC: OR = 1.25, 95% CI = 0.91-1.70). The CX3CR1 V249I polymorphism also did not significantly affect the AMD risk (AA vs
Gg/ag: OR = 1.23, 95% CI = 0.98-1.55; AG/AA vs GG: OR = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.29-1.07; AA vs GG: OR = 1.43, 95% CI = 0.97-2.09; AG vs GG: OR = 1.07, 95% CI = 0.85-1.36).
Conclusions: This meta-analysis suggested that CX3CR1 T280M and V249I polymorphisms may not be associated with an increased risk of AMD based on current published data. Given the limited sample size, the finding on CX3CR1 polymorphisms needs further investigation.

Introduction: Patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) have an increased prevalence and incidence of intermediate-stage age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Several elevated plasma inflammatory biomarkers are associated with increased incidence of intermediate-stage AMD in this population. We evaluated the association between AMD risk alleles and plasma inflammatory biomarker levels in persons with AIDS.

CX3CL1-CX3CR1 pathway may be one of the future treatment targets to delay the progression of end-stage renal diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the CX3CR gene polymorphism in Egyptian patients with ESRD and its relation to fractalkine blood level. The study included 100 patients with ESRD on dialysis, 61 males and 39 females with mean age 51.

Objective: Fractalkine, member of chemokine family, is involved in many inflammatory processes in the human body. The aim of this study is to compare expression levels of fractalkine ligand and its receptor in chronic tonsillitis and hypertrophic tonsil samples.
Methods: The study was conducted at Baskent University Departments of Otorhinolaryngology and Medical Genetics.

Background: Fractalkine (FKN) in its free and membrane bound-forms and its receptor CX3CR1are reported to have an atherosclerotic effect. The relationship of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in FKN and CX3CR1genes with the Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) risk showed conflicting results in different populations. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of CX3CR1 threonine 280 methionine (T280M) polymorphism in the predisposition of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) in Egyptians.

Aim: CX3CR1, a G-protein-coupled receptor, is involved in various inflammatory processes. Two non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms, V249I (rs3732379) and T280M (rs3732378), are located in the sixth and seventh transmembrane domains of the CX3CR1 protein, respectively. Previous studies have indicated significant associations between T280M and leukocyte functional characteristics, including adhesion, signaling, and chemotaxis, while the function of V249I is unclear.
