Abstract

Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are present in ~2% of the general population, and genetic factors cannot be excluded for the risk of their development. The gene factors that result in the changes in the vascular extracellular matrix (ECM) may also be a key reason for IAs being hereditary. The VCAN gene [also known as chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 2 (CSPG2)] plays various roles in maintaining ECM functions. The present systematic review and meta‑analysis aimed to investigate all eligible articles involving IAs on the association with germ line SNPs of DNA repair genes (up to January, 2024). The total number of patients was 2,308 [987 cases (poor outcomes) and 1,321 controls (good outcomes)]. The results revealed that rs2287926 G/G genotype and G allele and rs251124 T/T genotype and minor allele T increased the risk of developing IAs. However, further studies are required to examine these gene polymorphisms as screening markers for IAs.
