Interleukin-1 gene polymorphisms and toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis
PURPOSE It has been proposed that cytokine gene polymorphisms can predispose individuals to disease by enhancing inflammatory processes. Considering the relevance of interleukin-1 (IL-1) in the pathogenesis of toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis (TR), we investigated whether IL1A -889 C/T and IL1B +3954C/T promoter polymorphisms are associated with TR in humans. METHODS We performed a cross-section...
متن کاملPolymorphisms in the interleukin-1 gene cluster in children and young adults with systemic meningococcemia.
BACKGROUND An association has been described between mortality in children with meningococcal disease and functional polymorphisms in the interleukin-1 (IL1) cluster. We undertook a multicenter study to evaluate associations of these polymorphisms in a Central European population. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study involved 95 Middle European pediatric hospitals. We collected blood samples from, ...
متن کاملLack of association between interleukin-1 gene cluster polymorphisms and glaucoma in Chinese subjects.
PURPOSE A recent study identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the IL-1 gene cluster at chromosomal locus 2q13 that were associated with reduced risk for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in whites. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between IL-1 SNPs and glaucoma in Chinese patients with either POAG or primary-angle closure glaucoma (PACG). METHODS...
متن کاملInterleukin-1 system gene polymorphisms are associated with fat mass in young men.
CONTEXT There is growing evidence for interactions between the regulation of body fat and the immune system. Studies of knockout mice indicate that IL-1 has an antiobesity effect. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to investigate our hypothesis that common polymorphisms of the IL-1 system, which are associated with IL-1 activity, also are associated with fat mass. DESIGN, SETTING, AND S...
متن کاملInterleukin-1 gene cluster polymorphisms and risk of coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-1 has been suggested to play a role in atherosclerosis. Several genetic polymorphisms have been described in the genes of the IL-1 cluster and associations with coronary artery disease (CAD) have been reported, although with contrasting results. DESIGN AND METHODS The associations of a variable number tandem repeat (86 b...
