Interleukin 1 receptor type 2 gene polymorphism is associated with reduced risk of preterm birth.
OBJECTIVE Interleukin 1 receptor type 2 (IL1R2) regulates the inflammatory pathway that results in preterm delivery. We aim to investigate the impact of IL1R2 gene polymorphisms on the risk of preterm delivery. METHOD A total of 664 women with spontaneous preterm and term deliveries were genotyped for IL1R2 gene polymorphisms (rs2072476A/G, rs2071008G/T, rs2072474C/T) using Sequenom MassARRAY...
متن کاملCD226 rs763361 (Gly307Ser) Polymorphism Is Associated with Susceptibility to Rheumatoid Arthritis in Zahedan, Southeast Iran
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease with many genetic factors predisposing to disease susceptibility. The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of CD226 rs727088 and rs763361 polymorphisms and susceptibility to RA in a sample of the Iranian population. Methods: This case-control study was carried out on 100 patients with RA and 104 healthy su...
متن کاملIs human dectin-1 Y238X gene polymorphism related to susceptibility to recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis?
Background and Purpose: Vulvovaginal candidiasis is a frequent disease affecting approximately more than %75 of all childbearing women at least once in their lifetime by overgrowth of opportunistic Candida species. Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) is common in otherwise healthy individuals. Several risk factors were reported to contribute to RVVC susceptibility. A polymorphism in Decti...
متن کاملAssociation of Alu Insertion Polymorphism in Progesterone Receptor Gene with Risk of Multiple Sclerosis
Background and purpose: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the myelin sheaths of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged. The prevalence of disease is higher in women and it seems that sex hormones, which usually exert their effects through receptors, are involved in susceptibility to MS. Considering the functional role of Alu insertion 306 bp polymorp...
متن کاملProgesterone receptor gene polymorphism is associated with decreased risk for breast cancer by age 50.
In a population-based case-control study for breast cancer before the age of 51 years, 554 cases and 559 age-matched controls were genotyped for the polymorphic progesterone receptor allele PROGINS. Breast cancer risk was decreased in women carrying the PROGINS allele. The odds ratio adjusted for age and study region was 0.76 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.58-1.00]. Compared with wild-type A1...
