Abstract: | We investigated the possible association between two SNPs of IL-10 (IL-10 -1082A/G and -819T/C) and the susceptibility to ischemic stroke. Patients with proven ischemic stroke and control subjects were recruited between March 2013 and May 2015. The IL-10 -1082A/G and -819T/C polymorphisms were assessed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Conditional logistic regression analyses revealed that the GA and the AA genotypes were associated with development of ischemic stroke, and the ORs (95% CI) for the GA and the AA genotypes of IL-10 -1082A/G were 1.49 (1.01-2.19) and 1.83 (1.02-3.29) compared with the GG genotype, respectively. In dominant model, the GA+AA genotype of IL-10 -1082G/A was correlated with increased risk of ischemic stroke compared to the GG genotype (OR=1.56, 95% CI=1.08-2.25). The GA+AA genotype was associated with moderately increased risk of ischemic stroke in smokers (OR=1.72, 95% CI=1.04-2.84). In conclusion, our study suggests that IL-10 gene polymorphisms contribute to the development of ischemic stroke, especially in tobacco smokers. |
