We analyzed the frequency of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at positions -1053 (rs 2981572), 1380 (rs 2981573), 1462 (rs 2232360), and 3978 (rs 1518108) of the human interleukin-20 (IL-20) gene by tetraprimer ARMS-PCR method. A significant association between patients with psoriasis and the G allele at position -1053 (P<0.05) was established. The pairwise linkage disequilibrium (LD) matrix showed that the nearly complete LD was present within the polymorphisms at positions -1053, 1380, and 1462 of the IL-20 gene. We found that patients with plaque psoriasis had a higher frequency of the HT3 GAA haplotype (P<0.01, OR 2.341, 95% CI: 1.346-4.074) compared to the control group. Likewise, the HT3 GAA haplotype was associated with an increased risk of early-onset psoriasis (P<0.01, OR 2.305, 95% CI: 1.285-4.132), late onset of disease (P<0.01, OR 2.542, 95% CI: 1.266-5.102), familial psoriasis (P<0.02, OR 2.220, 95% CI: 1.249-3.945), and sporadic disease (P<0.01, OR 2.523, 95% CI: 1.390-4.580). Our data indicate that IL-20 gene polymorphisms should have a role in determining susceptibility to plaque-type psoriasis. The possible role of the studied SNPs in the regulation of the expression of IL-20 is unknown yet and needs further studies. 相似文献

Cytokines such as interleukin 10 (IL10) may play an important role in the process of inflammation. The aim of this study was to analyze the association between IL10, IL10RA and IL10RB single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) in Korean population. All patients with BPH were divided into two groups according to international prostate symptom score (IPSS), prostate specific antigen (PSA) level, Q(max), and prostate volume. We selected two IL10 SNPs (rs1518111 and rs1554286), three IL10RA SNPs (rs2256111, rs4252243, and rs2228054), and two IL10RB SNPs (rs999788 and rs2834167). Genotypes of seven SNPs were determined through direct sequencing. The G/G genotype of IL10RB polymorphism (rs2834167) was associated with a high PSA level compared with the A/G + A/A genotypes (P = 0.009). Of IL10 SNP, the A/A genotype of rs1518111 and T/T genotype of rs1554286 were associated with small prostate volume, respectively (P = 0.011, P = 0.014). Moreover, the T/T genotype of IL10RB polymorphism (rs999788) was associated with high prostatic volume compared with the T/C + C/C genotypes (P = 0.033). The linkage disequilibrium (LD) blocks were formed in IL10 and IL10RA. However, haplotypes in the LD block were not associated with BPH. It is concluded that there is a strong association between the IL10 and IL10RB SNPs, and BPH in Korean population. 相似文献

Combined haplotype analysis of the interleukin-19 and -20 genes: relationship to plaque-type psoriasis 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
There is increasing evidence to suggest that the newly discovered cytokines interleukin (IL)-19 and -20 have a role in the function of epidermis and in psoriasis. The genes encoding these cytokines locate into the genomic IL-10 region on human chromosome 1. The aim of the present study was to analyze whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in these genes have an impact on the susceptibility for psoriasis. From pairwise linkage disequilibrium (LD) matrix of the IL-19 and -20 gene polymorphisms, what reflects the nonrandom association of alleles at these markers, it was apparent that IL-19 and -20 genes form one block of LD. We found that the HT3 CACCGGAA haplotype of the IL-19 and -20 genes was associated with an increased risk of psoriasis, reflecting its role in determining susceptibility to plaque-type psoriasis. Although association analysis of the IL-19 gene indicated that minor alleles of the IL-19 gene SNPs (rs2243188, rs2243169 and rs2243158) revealed protective effect to psoriasis and haplotype analysis of the IL-19 gene proved significant protective effect of the TGATA haplotype in case of late-onset disease, combined haplotype analysis of the IL-19 and -20 genes demonstrated that protective effect of the IL-19 gene is secondary to the susceptibility effect of the IL-20 gene. 相似文献

Possible relations between the polymorphisms of the cytokines IL-19, IL-20 and IL-24 and plaque-type psoriasis 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The aim of present study was to elucidate the role of the interleukin (IL)-24 gene in predicting risk for plaque-type psoriasis and to describe the linkage disequilibrium (LD) pattern emerging from the genes of IL-19, IL-20 and IL-24. Genes encoding IL-19, IL-20 and IL-24 locate in the region q32 of chromosome 1. The association between the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or haplotypes of the IL-24 gene and the susceptibility of psoriasis was not found. However, a significant protective effect of the combined haplotype CAAAC of IL-20 and IL-24 genes against plaque-type psoriasis was established (OR 0.154). Protective effect against psoriasis was also observed with haplotype TGGGT (OR 0.591) and haplotype CGAGT (OR 0.457). Performing a comprehensive analysis using the data regarding SNPs of IL-24 gene together with the previously published data regarding IL-19 and IL-20 SNPs, we identified two haplotype blocks within the region q32 of chromosome 1. The main result of the present study is that while the IL-19/IL-20 extended haplotype CACCGGAA is a significant susceptibility factor for psoriasis (previous study), IL-20/IL-24 haplotypes CAAAC, TGGGT and CGAGT have a significant protective effect. Nevertheless, family-based studies are required to confirm the impact of IL-19, IL-20 and IL-24 genes in the genetic predisposition for psoriasis. 相似文献

Polymorphic variants of the IL2RA gene, which encodes high-affinity alpha subunit (CD25) of the interleukin-2 receptor, were recently found to affect the risk of several autoimmune disorders. This study was aimed to investigate the association of selected IL2RA polymorphisms (rs11594656, rs3118470, rs2104286 and rs7093069) with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in a Polish cohort comprising 445 patients and 671 healthy control subjects. The minor A allele at rs11594656 was found significantly less frequently among T1D subjects, compared with the control group [P = 0.011; odds ratio (OR) = 0.77; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.629-0.942]. In contrast, the minor C allele at rs3118470 appeared to be significantly associated with the occurrence of T1D (P = 0.003; OR = 1.30; 95% CI = 1.094-1.550). Two other IL2RA single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) did not show significant differences among investigated groups. In conclusion, the study confirms the association of the IL2RA locus with T1D in the Polish population. 相似文献

Cerebral malaria (CM) is a neurological complication of infection with Plasmodium falciparum that is partly caused by cytokine-mediated inflammation. It is not known whether interleukin-17 (IL-17) cytokines, which regulate inflammation, control the development of CM. To evaluate the involvement of IL-17 cytokines in CM, we analyzed 46 common polymorphisms in IL17A, IL17F, and IL17RA (which encodes the common receptor chain of the members of the IL-17 family) in two independent African populations. A case-control study involving 115 Nigerian children with CM and 160 controls from the community (CC) showed that IL17F reference single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) 6913472 (rs6913472) (P = 0.004; odds ratio [OR] = 3.12), IL17F rs4715291 (P = 0.004; OR = 2.82), IL17RA rs12159217 (P = 0.01; OR = 2.27), and IL17RA rs41396547 (P = 0.026; OR = 3.15) were independently associated with CM. A replication study was performed in 240 nuclear Malian family trios (two parents with one CM child). We replicated the association for 3 SNPs, IL17F rs6913472 (P = 0.03; OR = 1.39), IL17RA rs12159217 (P = 0.01; OR = 1.52), and IL17RA rs41396547 (P = 0.04; OR = 3.50). We also found that one additional SNP, IL17RA rs41433045, in linkage disequilibrium (LD) with rs41396547, was associated with CM in both Nigeria and Mali (P = 0.002; OR = 4.12 in the combined sample). We excluded the possibility that SNPs outside IL17F and IL17RA, in strong LD with the associated SNPs, could account for the observed associations. Furthermore, the results of a functional study indicated that the aggravating GA genotype of IL17F rs6913472 was associated with lower IL-17F concentrations. Our findings show for the first time that IL17F and IL17RA polymorphisms modulate susceptibility to CM and provide evidence that IL-17F protects against CM. 相似文献

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with an immunogenetic background. This study aimed to determine the association between three functional SNPs of BANK1 (rs10516487, rs17266594 and rs3733197) with psoriasis in Southern Han Chinese population by determining their frequency in 242 patients with psoriasis and 317 healthy individuals. The genotype frequencies of the detected polymorphisms were analysed in relation to the susceptibility of psoriasis. Our data show that there is no significant difference in genotype distribution for the three BANK1 SNPs between patients and healthy controls. The AA frequency of rs3733197 is significantly higher in patients with psoriasis onset before the age of 23 than in those with late disease onset (P = 0.0069). In addition, analysis on BANK1 haplotype also suggests a protective role for TGC and CAT haplotype from psoriasis (OR 0.55, 95% CI: 0.34-0.89; P = 0.0144; OR 0.62, 95% CI: 0.42-0.92; P = 0.0175), whereas CGT haplotype is associated with increased risk of the disease (OR 1.38, 95% CI: 1.05-1.81, P = 0.0203). Overall, our result indicates that polymorphism in BANK1 is associated with susceptibility to psoriasis in Southern Han Chinese. 相似文献

Schizophrenia has been observed to be associated with various abnormalities in cytokines and cytokine receptors. Three very recent reports showed the evidence that the IL3 gene, colony stimulating factor 2 receptor alpha (CSF2RA), beta (CSF2RB) and IL-3 receptor alpha (IL3RA), the IL-specific receptor subunits for CSF2 and IL3, respectively, are associated with schizophrenia. To examine the association of the IL3RA polymorphism (rs6603272) with schizophrenia in a Chinese population, 310 physically healthy patients with schizophrenia were compared with 330 age-, sex- matched normal controls. Statistically significant differences were observed in both allelic and genotypic frequencies of the rs6603272 polymorphism (Allele, chi2=6.24, d.f.=1, p=0.013, odds ratio (OR)=1.35, 95% CI 1.07-1.71; Genotype, chi2=6.85, d.f.=2, p=0.033). Our results indicate a small but significant contribution of the IL3RA polymorphism to susceptibility to schizophrenia, suggesting that the IL3 pathway may be involved in schizophrenia. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Several polymorphisms in the IL-4 receptor alpha (IL4RA) gene have been associated with asthma and atopy, but with variable success in different populations. Immunologic studies suggest that IL4RA may interact with other cytokines and receptors, and gene-gene interactions have also been observed with respect to asthma. Such interactions have been proposed to explain partly the difficulties in replicating association studies. METHODS: Using the prospective birth cohort BAMSE, we examined eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and corresponding haplotypes in the IL4RA gene in relation to wheezing and sensitization up to age 4. We also evaluated potential interaction effects (departure from a multiplicative interaction model) between the IL4RA SNPs and four SNPs in the IL-9 receptor (IL9R) gene previously associated with childhood wheezing. RESULTS: We found no main effect of the IL4RA SNPs alone and only weak associations to wheezing and sensitization when haplotypes were considered. Gene-gene interactions between several IL4RA and IL9R SNPs with regard to wheezing were observed (P=0.009), especially between IL4RA Q576R (rs1801275) and IL9R rs731476 (P=0.005). An interaction was also seen between IL4RA and IL9R haplotypes. CONCLUSION: Variants in the IL4RA gene alone may not exert any major influence on susceptibility to asthma-related diseases in childhood, but in combination with other genes, such as IL9R, IL4RA may be an important gene for disease susceptibility. 相似文献

Background
The association of variants in the IL23R gene with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a robust genetic findingObjectives
To assess whether combined evidence shows the association between IL23R polymorphisms and susceptibility to psoriasis/PsA.Methods
We conducted a meta-analysis to examine the association between the IL23R rs11209026 (Q381R), rs7530511 (L310P), and rs2201841 polymorphisms and psoriasis/PsA.Results
Thirteen articles met the inclusion criteria and contributed data to the meta-analysis. For rs11209026, the odds ratios (ORs) of minor alleles for psoriasis and PsA were 0.616 [95?% confidence interval (CI) 0.563–0.674] and 0.630 (95?% CI 0.524–0.757), respectively. For rs7530511, the pooled ORs were 0.820 (95?% CI 0.764–0.879) for psoriasis and 0.875 (95?% CI 0.766–1.000) for PsA; for rs2201841 the OR was 1.121 (95?% CI 1.031–1.219) for psoriasis. In genotypic analysis, the association of rs11209026 (A) and rs7530511 (T) were compatible with the dominant model (P?0.0001, P?=?0.001 respectively). The overall ORs for GG vs. AA (OR 1.339; 95?% CI 1.151–1.558), GG vs. GA (OR 1.143; 95?% CI 1.004–1.300), dominant (OR 1.226; 95?% CI 1.143–1.316), and recessive (OR 1.254; 95?% CI 1.115–1.411) models of rs2201841 were all significantly increased in psoriasis. No publication bias was present.Conclusions
Our results demonstrate a significant association between IL23R gene polymorphisms and psoriasis/PsA. 相似文献11.

A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at the IL12RB2 locus showed a suggestive association signal in a previously published genome-wide association study (GWAS) in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Aiming to reveal the possible implication of the IL12RB2 gene in SSc, we conducted a follow-up study of this locus in different Caucasian cohorts. We analyzed 10 GWAS-genotyped SNPs in the IL12RB2 region (2309 SSc patients and 5161 controls). We then selected three SNPs (rs3790567, rs3790566 and rs924080) based on their significance level in the GWAS, for follow-up in an independent European cohort comprising 3344 SSc and 3848 controls. The most-associated SNP (rs3790567) was further tested in an independent cohort comprising 597 SSc patients and 1139 controls from the USA. After conditional logistic regression analysis of the GWAS data, we selected rs3790567 [P(MH)= 1.92 × 10(-5) odds ratio (OR) = 1.19] as the genetic variant with the firmest independent association observed in the analyzed GWAS peak of association. After the first follow-up phase, only the association of rs3790567 was consistent (P(MH)= 4.84 × 10(-3) OR = 1.12). The second follow-up phase confirmed this finding (P(χ2) = 2.82 × 10(-4) OR = 1.34). After performing overall pooled-analysis of all the cohorts included in the present study, the association found for the rs3790567 SNP in the IL12RB2 gene region reached GWAS-level significant association (P(MH)= 2.82 × 10(-9) OR = 1.17). Our data clearly support the IL12RB2 genetic association with SSc, and suggest a relevant role of the interleukin 12 signaling pathway in SSc pathogenesis. 相似文献

Predisposition to psoriasis is known to be affected by genetic variation in HLA-C, IL12B and IL23R, but other genetic risk factors also exist. We recently reported three psoriasis-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the 5q31 locus, a region of high linkage disequilibrium laden with inflammatory pathway genes. The aim of this study was to assess whether other variants in the 5q31 region are causal to these SNPs or make independent contributions to psoriasis risk by genotyping a comprehensive set of tagging SNPs in a 725 kb region bounded by IL3 and IL4 and testing for disease association. Ninety SNPs, capturing 86.4% of the genetic diversity, were tested in one case-control sample set (467 cases/460 controls) and significant markers (P(allelic) < 0.05) (n = 9) were then tested in two other sample sets (981 cases/925 controls). All nine SNPs were significant in a meta-analysis of the combined sample sets. Pair-wise conditional association tests showed rs1800925, an intergenic SNP located just upstream of IL13 (Mantel-Haenszel P(combined) = 1.5 x 10(-4), OR = 0.77 [0.67-0.88]), could account for observed significant association of all but one other SNP, rs11568506 in SLC22A4 [Mantel-Haenszel P(combined) = 0.043, OR = 0.68 (0.47-0.99)]. Haplotype analysis of these two SNPs showed increased significance for the two common haplotypes (rs11568506-rs1800925: GC, P(combined) = 5.67 x 10(-6), OR = 1.37; GT, P(combined) = 6.01 x 10(-5), OR = 0.75; global haplotype P = 8.93 x 10(-5)). Several 5q31-region SNPs strongly associated with Crohn's disease (CD) in the recent WTCCC study were not significant in the psoriasis sample sets tested here. These results identify the most significant 5q31 risk variants for psoriasis and suggest that distinct 5q31 variants contribute to CD and psoriasis risk. 相似文献

Using a multi-tiered, case-control association design, scanning 25 215 gene-centric SNPs, we previously identified two psoriasis susceptibility genes: IL12B and IL23R. These results have recently been confirmed. To better characterize the IL23R psoriasis-association, we used a fine mapping strategy to identify 59 additional IL23R-linked SNPs, which were genotyped in our three independent, white North American sample sets (>2800 individuals in toto). A sliding window of haplotype association demonstrates colocalization of psoriasis susceptibility effects within the boundaries of IL23R across all sample sets, thereby decreasing the likelihood that neighboring genes, particularly IL12RB2, are driving the association at this region. Additional haplotype work identified two 5-SNP haplotypes with strong protective effects, consistent across our three sample sets (OR(common)=0.67; P(comb)=4.32E-07). Importantly, heterogeneity of effect was extremely low between sample sets for these haplotypes (P(Het)=0.961). Together, these protective haplotypes attain a frequency of 16% in controls, declining to 11% in cases. The characterization of association patterns within IL23R to specific predisposing/protective variants will play an important role in the elucidation of psoriasis etiology and other related phenotypes. Further, this work is essential to lay the foundation for the role of IL23R genetics in response to pharmaceutical therapy and dosage. 相似文献

Cytokine and cytokine receptor genes, including IL2RA, IL7R and IL12A, are known risk factors for multiple sclerosis (MS). Excitotoxic oligodendroglial death mediated by glutamate receptors contributes to demyelinating reactions. In the present study, we screened 368 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 55 genes or gene clusters coding for cytokines, cytokine receptors, suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS), complement factors and glutamate receptors for association with MS in a Spanish-Basque resident population. Top-scoring SNPs were found within or nearby the genes coding for SOCS-1 (P=0.0005), interleukin-28 receptor, alpha chain (P=0.0008), oncostatin M receptor (P=0.002) and interleukin-22 receptor, alpha 2 (IL22RA2; P=0.003). The SOCS1 rs243324 variant was validated as risk factor for MS in a separate cohort of 3919 MS patients and 4003 controls (combined Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel P=0.00006; odds ratio (OR)=1.13; 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.07-1.20). In addition, the T allele of rs243324 was consistently increased in relapsing-remitting/secondary progressive versus primary-progressive MS patients, in each of the six data sets used in this study (P(CMH)=0.0096; OR=1.24; 95% CI 1.05-1.46). The association with SOCS1 appears independent from the chr16MS risk locus CLEC16A. 相似文献

Interleukin 18 (IL18) stimulates interferon-γ production in Th1 cells which are prominent in the thyroid of Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT). We investigated the association between the IL18 gene and HT. There were 116 children with HT and 1272 controls. rs187238 and rs1946518 in the promoter region of the IL18 gene were genotyped. Differences in genotype, allele, carrier, and haplotype distributions between patients and controls were compared. A Pc value <0.05 was considered significant. The frequency of the C/G genotype of rs187238 was significantly higher in patients and conferred a risk of HT (OR, 1.96; 95% CI, 1.30–2.95; Pc, 0.0021). So did the frequencies of allele C (OR, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.22–2.44; Pc, 0.0035) and carrier C (OR, 1.96; 95% CI, 1.31–2.92; Pc, 0.0017), however the frequency of the G/G genotype was significantly lower in patients than in controls (OR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.34–0.76; Pc, 0.0034). There was no association between HT and rs1946518. The CT haplotype was significantly more frequent in patients than in controls and conferred a risk of HT (OR, 1.76; 95% CI, 1.24–2.49; Pc, 0.0049). We concluded that the IL18 gene was associated with HT in children. The rs187238C allele and CT haplotype conferred a risk of HT. 相似文献

The C allele of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs6897932, located in the interleukin-7 receptor alpha chain ( IL7RA ) was recently found to be associated with multiple sclerosis and Type I diabetes. We analysed 13 SNPs in the IL7RA gene in a combined cohort of patients with chronic inflammatory arthropathies (rheumatoid arthritis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis; 368 patients and 532 unaffected subjects). No significant associations with disease were found with the exception of the non-synonymous SNP rs6897932. This SNP showed modest enrichment of the TT genotype in arthritic patients compared with controls [ P = 0.02; OR 1.72 (95% CI 1.08–2.75)]. Our data are suggestive for a role of rs6897932 in predisposition to chronic inflammatory arthropathies. 相似文献

Allergic diseases affect an increasing number of individuals and are a major global health problem. A substantial genetic contribution in the aetiology of allergic diseases is well documented. We have previously reported linkage of allergic diseases and atopy to the region harbouring the IL2 gene (4q27). IL15 is located approximately 20 Mb distal to IL2. The two genes encode cytokines that are structurally and functionally related, both inducing T-cell activation and proliferation. We screened the two genes for sequence variation and applied the seven single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified in a family based association study of two Danish samples comprising a total of 235 families with allergic diseases. None of the IL15 SNPs showed significant association and the haplotype analysis yielded inconsistent results in the two samples. In contrast, the two IL2 SNPs showed association both separately and in haplotypes with several atopic phenotypes, most significantly with IgE-mediated allergy. (single SNP P-value 0.0005 for positive skin prick test, haplotype P-value 0.019 for positive RAST test). To our knowledge, this is the first study reporting association between IL2 and IgE-mediated allergy, asthma and atopic eczema. The SNP (rs2069762) that showed the most consistent results is located in the promoter and has previously been shown to influence the level of IL2 expression. We suggest that the observed overtransmission of the T allele of this SNP may convey increased susceptibility to allergic disease by skewing the Th1/Th2 balance towards Th2. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to examine whether several allelic variants in the polymorphic interleukin (IL)-10 promoter region were related with an increased risk of developing systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in Spanish patients from Canary Islands. Microsatellites (MS) at positions -4000 and -1200 (IL10R and IL10G, respectively) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (MS) at positions -1082G/A, -819C/T and -592C/A of the IL-10 promoter were analysed in patients with SLE and healthy controls from Canary Islands (Spain). We found that SNPs but not MS were associated with SLE. The GCC haplotype frequency was significantly higher in SLE patients (0.43) than in healthy donors (0.33) [P = 0.02; OR = 1.50 (95% CI = 1.06-2.14)], whereas the ACC haplotype was less represented in patients (0.28 vs. 0.37) [P = 0.02; OR = 0.64 (95% CI = 0.44-0.92)]. To assess the functional role of genotypes, serum IL-10 levels from patients and controls were quantified by ELISA. Also, the lipopolysaccharide-induced IL-10 secretion by monocytes from healthy controls was evaluated in vitro. Serum IL-10 levels were higher in patients [median (interquartile range) = 2.8 pg/mL (1.8-4.2)] than in controls [0.9 pg/mL (0-3.5)] (P = 0.02), but no association was observed between serum IL-10 levels or lipopolysaccharide-induced IL-10 secretion and the IL-10 promoter haplotypes. These data suggest that the IL-10 promoter haplotype that produces higher levels of cytokine is associated with SLE in patients from Canary Islands. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the association of receptor interacting protein 2 (RIP2) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in a Chinese population. A case-control study was performed on the SNPs rs16900617 and rs16900627 in 590 Chinese SLE patients and 660 healthy controls. These SNPs were typed by TaqMan allele discrimination assays. We found a significant association of rs16900617 G allele [odds ratio (OR) = 0.54, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.41-0.72] and rs16900627 G allele (OR = 1.28, 95% CI 1.04-1.58) with SLE. Significant differences in genotype frequency distribution were also found in SLE and control individuals (rs16900617: AG versus AA, OR = 0.59, 95% CI 0.44-0.81; GG versus AA, OR = 0.08, 95% CI 0.01-0.65; AG + GG versus AA, OR = 0.55, 95% CI 0.41-0.75; rs16900627: AG versus AA, OR = 1.51, 95% CI 1.17-1.93; AG + GG versus AA, OR = 1.43, 95% CI 1.13-1.82). Analysis of the haplotypes revealed that two haplotypes of AG and GA were also significantly associated with SLE (OR = 1.37, 95% CI 1.11-1.70; OR = 0.60, 95% CI 0.45-0.79). Our findings suggest that the RIP2 gene polymorphisms may be associated with susceptibility to SLE in the Chinese population. 相似文献

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a serious global health problem despite the availability of a highly effective vaccine. Approximately 5% of HBV-infected adults develop chronic hepatitis B, which may result in liver cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. Variants of interleukin-10 (IL10) have been previously associated with chronic hepatitis B infection and progression to hepatocellular carcinoma. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP; n = 42) from the IL10, IL19 and IL20 gene regions were examined for an association with HBV infection outcome, either chronic or recovered, in a nested case-control study of African Americans and European Americans. Among African Americans, three nominally statistically significant SNP associations in IL10, two in IL20, and one haplotype association were observed with different HBV infection outcomes (P = 0.005-0.04). A SNP (rs1518108) in IL20 deviated significantly from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in African Americans, with a large excess of heterozygotes in chronic HBV-infected cases (P = 0.0006), which suggests a strong genetic effect. Among European Americans, a nominally statistically significant SNP association in IL20 and an IL20 haplotype were associated with HBV recovery (P = 0.01-0.04). These results suggest that IL10 and IL20 gene variants influence HBV infection outcome and encourage the pursuit of further studies of these cytokines in HBV pathogenesis. 相似文献
