چکیده
Background Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an immune-mediated disease caused by autoantibodies against platelets membrane glycoproteins GPIIb/IIIa and GPIb/IX. The etiology of ITP remains unclear. This study evaluated the association of polymorphisms in interleukin (IL)-1B-31, IL-1B-511, and IL-1Ra with ITP. Methods Genotyping of IL-1B-31, IL-1B-511, and IL-1Ra was performed in 118 ITP patients and 100 controls by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism and detection of variable number tandem repeats. Results Genotype differences in IL-1B-31 and IL-1Ra were significantly associated with ITP. Patients showed a higher frequency of the IL-1B-31 variant allele (T) and a 1.52-fold greater risk of susceptibility to ITP (odds ratio [OR]=1.52, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.04-2.22, P=0.034). The frequencies of both homozygous and heterozygous variant genotypes of IL-1B-31 were higher (OR=2.33, 95% CI=1.069-5.09, P=0.033 and OR=2.044, 95% CI=1.068-39, P=0.034) among patients and were significantly associated with ITP susceptibility. Both homozygous and heterozygous variant genotypes of IL-1Ra were also more frequent (OR=4.48, 95% CI=1.17-17.05, P=0.0230 and OR=1.80, 95% CI=1.03-3.14, P=0.0494) among patients and were associated with ITP risk. IL-1B-31 and IL-1Ra also showed significant association with severe ITP. However, IL-1B-511 was not associated with ITP. Conclusion IL-1B-31 and IL-1Ra polymorphisms may significantly impact ITP risk, and they could be associated with disease severity, which may contribute to the pathogenesis of ITP.

OBJECTIVE Since ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, which are associated with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), have been found to be variably associated with the IL-1B and the IL-1RN genes encoding interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra), we have investigated whether these polymorphisms in IL-1B and IL-1RN are also involved in AS. METHODS DNA was isolat...

BACKGROUND Chlamydia trachomatis infections have been associated with tubal pathology. However, not all C.trachomatis-infected women actually develop tubal pathology. Recently, host genetic factors such as the interleukin-1 gene cluster have been linked to inflammatory and infectious diseases. METHODS Dutch Caucasian women were investigated for (i) the role of interleukin-1B (IL-1B) and inter...
