Our meta-analysis supports that two polymorphisms (rs11209026 and rs7517847) in the IL-23 gene may be considered to be protective factors against developing UC among Caucasian populations; while the rs11209032 polymorphisms may increase the risk of UC among Caucasian populations; furthermore, the rs1088967 polymorphisms in the IL-23 gene may be considered to be protective factors against developing UC among Asian populations.
