TNF-α-308 and INF-γ+874 Gene Polymorphisms in Re- lation to Susceptibility and Severity of Type 2 Diabe- tes Mellitus among Egyptian Cases

چکیده
To explore the association of TNF-α-308 and IFNγ +874 genetic polymorphisms with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in Egyptian cases. Participants included 207 cases with type 2 DM, 93 males and 114 females. Their mean age was 57 years. They were compared to a control group of 212 healthy unrelated subjects from the same locality. DNA was amplified using PCR with sequence specific primers for detection of polymorphism related to TNF-α-308 (G/A) and IFN-γ+874 (A/T). The combined homozygote pattern of TNF-α-308 (AA) and IFN-γ+874 (A/A) was significantly higher in diabetic cases versus controls (p=0.023) that was manifest (although non-significant) among complicated, uncontrolled cases and cases with marked insulin resistance. Polymorphism related to TNF-α-308 AA and IFN-γ+874 AA may be considered as a genetic biomarker for type 2 DM in Egyptian subjects with potential impact on family counseling and management.

BACKGROUND TNF-α has accelerating role in development of type 1 diabetes. Although an immunosupressor function and leading protecting role in T1DM also has been claimed for this pro-inflammatory cytokine. Over-expression of pro-inflammatory and type 1 cytokines (Th1, like IFN-γ) drive insulitis toward the destructive form that leads to type 1 diabetes (T1DM). Among type 1 cytokines only IFN-γ h...

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha-308 and interleukin (IL)-10(-1082) have potent inflammatory responses in the process of airway inflammation in asthma. The purpose of this study was to check for association of polymorphisms related to cytokine genes with susceptibility and severity of bronchial asthma in Egyptian children. Blood samples of 69 asthmatic children receiving treatment and follow-u...

Background and Objective: Tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is an infectious disease in human which kills nearly three millions of people annually. Approximately, one - third of the world populations are infected with this bacteria and 5 - 10 % of them develop the active form of the disease. Individuals are different in susceptibility to TB infection. These differences mig...
