Core Tip	G-protein beta polypeptide 3 (GNB3) polymorphisms have been identified as an independent risk factor causally associated with functional gastrointestinal disorder and receive extensive interest. However, their association with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) remains controversial. In the present paper, the authors combined the data from seven case-control studies with 1085 IBS cases and 1695 controls, and found that there were associations between GNB3 C825T polymorphism and IBS risk in the overall population; subgroup analysis did not reveal significant associations either in Asian population or Caucasian population. In regard to the subtypes of IBS (constipation-dominant type, diarrhea-dominant type and mixed type), no associations were found either.
