Lack of Association between Interleukin-10 Gene Promoter Polymorphisms with HIV Susceptibility and Progression to AIDS
Background & Objective: Interleukin (IL)-10 is an important anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory cytokine. Some authors believe that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the promoter region of the IL-10 gene have been associated with susceptibility to HIV infection and progression to AIDS, but its role is not clearly defined yet. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the a...
متن کاملassociation of cytokine gene polymorphisms with bronchial asthma in macedonians
bronchial asthma is a multifactorial disease whereby both environmental and genetic factors contribute to its aetiology and/or clinical severity. the aim of this study was to examine the association of 22 cytokine gene polymorphism in the macedonian population with bronchial asthma (ba). the sample of the population comprised of 301 normal unrelated individuals and 74 patients with ba. cytokine...

the aim of this study was to examine the association of 22 cytokine gene polymorphism in macedonians with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd). the sample of the population comprised of 301 normal respondents and 62 patients with copd. cytokine genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific priming (pcr-ssp). positive (susceptible) association was found bet...
متن کاملThe Association of the MTHFR Gene Polymorphisms with Breast Cancer Susceptibility
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide. It is also the second leading cause of cancer death among women after lung cancer. Considering the relationship among plasma folate levels, the level of uracil, and DNA damage in cell division, methyl tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a suitable candidate for studies on the susceptibility to cancer, including brea...
متن کاملCytokine gene polymorphisms and the outcome of invasive candidiasis: a prospective cohort study.
BACKGROUND Candida bloodstream infections cause significant morbidity and mortality among hospitalized patients. Although clinical and microbiological factors affecting prognosis have been identified, the impact of genetic variation in the innate immune responses mediated by cytokines on outcomes of infection remains to be studied. METHODS A cohort of 338 candidemia patients and 351 noninfe...
