ctla-4 gene polymorphisms (-318c/t, +49a/g, +6230a/g) in iranian patients with multiple sclerosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
multiple sclerosis (ms) is a disease of the central nervous system (cns) characterized by multiple regions of demyelination and inflammation along axons with a t cell-mediated autoimmune etiology. while the cytotoxic t lymphocyte antigen 4 (ctla-4) gene seems to be a strong candidate gene in autoimmune diseases, we investigated its association with a group of patients with ms. one hundred and thirty five patients with relapsing-remitting form of ms and 135 healthy subjects were enrolled in this study. three single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) (-318c/t, +49a/g, +6230a/g) of the ctla-4 gene were assessed using pcr-rflp method. the genotypes -318 cc (82.9% in patients vs. 76.2% in controls) and +49 aa (31.1% in patients vs. 28.1% in controls) were overrepresented in the patient group; however, these differences were not statistically significant. in spite of some previous reports, this study did not confirm any significant association with alleles and genotypes of snps of the ctla4 in iranian ms patients. such disparity could be due to genetic background, ethnicity and different forms of the disease.

متن کاملMolecular Analysis of rs2070744 and rs1799983 Polymorphisms of NOS3 Gene in Iranian Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
Introduction: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease of central nervous system that mainly causes lesions or plaques in the spinal cord and brain. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relation between c.-813C>T (rs2070744) and c.894G>T (rs1799983) polymorphisms of NOS3 gene and MS in Iranian patients. Methods: A total of 78 patients with MS and 80 healthy controls were screened for NOS3 ...
متن کاملCombination of Myelin Basic Protein Gene Polymorphisms with HLA-DRB1*1501 in Iranian Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS), as a multifactorial autoimmune disease with complex genetic basis, causes demyelination in the central nervous system via cytokine responses to myelin antigens. Myelin basic protein (MBP) is the main protein component of the myelin sheath. HLA-DRB (human leukocyte antigen-DR beta) alleles, particularly HLA-DRB1*1501, may be of significance in the pathogenesi...
متن کاملCTLA-4 gene polymorphisms in Tunisian patients with Graves' disease.
Graves' disease (GD) is an organ-specific autoimmune disorder of multifactorial etiology with a polygenic mode of inheritance. A recent report has demonstrated that there is a linkage and an association between the genetic markers of the CTLA-4 gene on chromosome 2q33 and GD. In order to confirm this association in a Tunisian population, three polymorphisms of the CTLA-4 gene were analyzed: the...

متن کاملIL-7R α polymorphisms in 60 Iranian multiple sclerosis patients
BACKGROUND Multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disorder with neurodegenerative aspects, is more common among young adults, particularly women. METHODS This molecular study was designed to investigate the IL-7R α chain gene in Iranian MS patients. We studied 60 MS patients, diagnosed based on 2005 R-McDonald criteria and 60 apparently healthy individuals as the contro...
