Objectives To evaluate the relationships between the Scavenger Receptor Class B1 (SCARB1) polymorphisms and susceptibility of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Methods Databases including PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP were searched from inception to December 31st 2017 to collect case-control studies on relationships between Scavenger Receptor Class B1 (SCARB1) polymorphisms and susceptibility of CVDs. Paper screening, data extraction and assessment of risk of bias were carried out. Meta-analysis was then conducted by Stata 12.0 software. Results In total, 12 studies relevant to SCARB1 rs5888C/T, rs4238001 G/A and rs10846744 G/C polymorphisms were included. Meta-analysis showed that there was no significant association between the rs5888 C/T polymorphism and susceptibility of CVDs (C vs. T: OR=0.97, 95%CI 0.86 to 1.09, P=0.627), neither for the rs4238001 G/A (G vs. A: OR=0.87, 95%CI 0.64 to 1.17, P=0.344). However, the rs10846744 G/C polymorphism was significantly associated with CVDs risk (G vs. C: OR=1.30, 95%CI 1.11 to 1.52, P=0.001). Subgroup analysis showed that, for non-Asian subjects, there was a significant association between the rs5888 C/T polymorphism and susceptibility of CVDs (C vs. T: OR=0.82, 95% CI 0.68 to 0.99, P=0.040). Conclusions SCARB1 rs10864744 G/C polymorphism could be associated with risk of CVDs. Considering the quantity and quality limitation of the included studies, the conclusion has to be verified by more large-scale high quality studies.
