Interleukin-10 and interferon-gamma cytokine gene polymorphisms may be risk factors for chronic myelogenous leukemia
Abstract:
We investigated the association of cytokine gene polymorphisms with the development of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and whether there is an association between gene polymorphisms Th1 and Th2 or regulatory- type cytokines and CML. Thirty patients with CML and 60 healthy controls were enrolled in this study. All genotyping (TNF-α, TGF-β, IL-10, IL-6, and IFN-γ) studies were performed using sequence-specific primers PCR (PCR-SSP). Frequencies of IL-10 (-1082, -819, -592) GCC/ATA (p= 0.009) and IFN-γ; +874 T/A (p= 0.037) polymorphisms were significantly greater in the patients with CML. In contrast, significantly lower frequencies of the IFN-γ A/A (p= 0.004) genotype were observed in patients with CML compared with controls. The results suggest that the IL-10 GCC/ATA and IFN-γ T/A polymorphisms are potential risk factors, and that the IFN-γ A/A polymorphism is a protective factor, for CML in this study group.
