چکیده
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1) C/T polymorphism (rs1800668) in modulating the chances of Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Pakistani population. METHODS A total of 400 individuals including 200 controls and 200 patients of RA, were genotyped. Detection of rs1800668 polymorphism was carried out using PCR based amplification strategy (allele specific). RESULTS The results for Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE) indicated that the allele frequencies for GPX1 polymorphism were not deviant from HWE in whole population under observation. The statistical analysis indicated that significant association existed between rs1800668 polymorphism and RA (p<0.01). CT genotype increased the risk of RA development by 1.8582 times (OR: 1.8582; 95% CI 1.2154 to 2.8409). CC genotype was found to have protective effect against the disease development (OR: 0.5133; 95% CI 0.3403 to 0.7742) while TT genotype was found to have association with RA development but the risk level was marginal (OR: 1.5319; 95% CI 0.6124 to 3.8322). CONCLUSION The present finding suggests the importance of GPX1 C/T polymorphism (rs1800668) in development of RA in Pakistani population. The protective role of CC genotype against the development of RA in local population was also observed.

Association of IL-10 rs1800896 (-1082 G/A) gene polymorphism and susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Northeast of Iran
Background and objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex and systemic inflammatory disease in which the immune response is disturbed. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter regions of regulatory cytokines including interleukin-10 (IL-10) may lead to exacerbated immune response and increased risk of RA. Here, we aimed to assess the association of IL-10 -1082 (G/A) (rs180...

We, therefore, aimed to investigate the potential role of RETN gene polymorphism in pathogenesis of acne vulgaris with familial history. We investigated the RETN-420C/G polymorphism in 180 patients with acne vulgaris and 180 healthy individuals in a case-control association analysis. In this study, we als...
