Epidemiologic studies have investigated the association of polymorphisms in 5-hydroxytryptamine type 2A receptor (5HT2A) gene and migraine susceptibility, but the results of those studies are inconclusive. To obtain a more systematic estimation of the association, we conducted a comprehensive search to examine all the eligible studies of 5HT2A polymorphisms and migraine risk. The odd ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to determine the strength of the association. Publication bias was analyzed by Begg's funnel plots. Seven eligible studies regarding 5HT2A T102C and A-1438G polymorphisms with 721 cases and 713 controls were included in this meta-analysis. Overall, no significant associations were found between 5HT2A T102C (for T vs. C: OR = 1.029, 95% CI = 0.870-1.217, p = 0.739; for TT vs. CC: OR = 1.083, 95% CI = 0.760-1.544, p = 0.657; for TT + TC vs. CC: OR = 1.066, 95% CI = 0.802-1.416, p = 0.662; for TT vs. TC + CC: OR = 1.017, 95% CI = 0.774-1.336, p = 0.904) or A-1438G (for T vs. C: OR = 0.996, 95% CI = 0.726-1.365, p = 0.979; for TT vs. CC: OR = 0.983, 95% CI = 0.511-1.891, p = 0.960; for TT + TC vs. CC: OR = 1.118, 95% CI = 0.654-1.910, p = 0.684; for TT vs. TC + CC: OR = 0.890, 95% CI = 0.528-1.499, p = 0.661) polymorphisms and migraine risk. The further subgroup analysis by ethnicity, assay and disease type also found no significant association using four genetic models. Meanwhile, the publication bias analysis suggests that there is no publication bias in these studies. In conclusion, our current meta-analysis implies that 5HT2A T102C and A-1438G polymorphisms may be not risk factors in the pathogenesis of migraine.
