چکیده
results the frequencies of the aa, at, and tt genotypes were 31%, 51%, and 18% in the chronic hbv patient group, and 40%, 45%, and 15% in the healthy control group, respectively. however, a lack of association of the + 874 polymorphism in the ifn-γ gene of those with chronic hbv infection was found. evaluation of hbv association with this polymorphism was significant under the dominant genetic model (p = 0.04). conclusions ultimately, no association could be characterized between the polymorphism in ifn-γ + 874a/t and susceptibility to chronic hbv infection in this segment of the iranian population (p > 0.05). methods polymorphism detection analysis was performed on 598 subjects from north-eastern iran. the ifn-γ gene polymorphism (+ 874a/t) was genotyped through a specific sequence primer polymerase chain reaction (ssp-pcr). objectives this study was performed to investigate the relationship between the ifn-γ + 874 gene polymorphism and susceptibility to chronic hbv infection. background based on differences in individual immune responses to the hepatitis b virus (hbv), between 5% and 10% of patients become persistently infected with the virus, which leads to the determination of chronic hbv. cytokines such as interferon gamma (ifn-γ) are secretory proteins that play important roles in both innate and adaptive immune responses. functional studies have demonstrated that the ifn + 874a/t gene polymorphism can increase or decrease the overall expression of ifn-gamma (γ) and ultimately determine the outcome of the infection.

the aim of this study was to investigate the possible influence of interferon-gamma (ifn- γ) gene polymorphism +874 (a/t) (rs2430561) in the susceptibility and renal complications of patients with henoch-schonlein purpura (hsp). we also studied the effects of ifn-γ allelic variation on serum levels of pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines in hsp patients. the study population comprised 97 pa...
متن کاملThe interferon gamma gene polymorphism +874 A/T is associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome
BACKGROUND Cytokines play important roles in antiviral action. We examined whether polymorphisms of IFN-gamma,TNF-alpha and IL-10 affect the susceptibility to and outcome of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). METHODS A case-control study was carried out in 476 Chinese SARS patients and 449 healthy controls. We tested the polymorphisms of IFN-gamma,TNF-alpha and IL-10 for their associat...

AIM This study aimed to investigate the association of IFN- γ +874 (T/A) polymorphism with susceptibility to chronic HBV infection in the Syrian population. BACKGROUND Accumulating evidence indicate that the inadequate immune responses are responsible for HBV persistency. Therefore, polymorphisms in genes encoding the cytokines, which are responsible for regulation of the immune response, can...
