Contribution of genetic polymorphisms of interleukins IL1B-511 C/T, IL1RN VNTR, IL6-174 G/C, and IL8-251 A/T in gastric lesions: gender and Helicobacter pylori genes matter.

Stomach pathologies develop in a complex interaction between the host's genetic background and H. pylori virulent genes. Thus, our study aimed to compare active chronic gastritis (ACG), and intestinal metaplasia (IM) with inactive chronic gastritis (ICG), according to interleukin polymorphisms of IL6-174 G/C, IL8-251 A/T, IL1β-511 C/T, and IL1RN VNTR taking into account patient gender and H.

Association of genetic polymorphisms of IL1β -511 C>T, IL1RN VNTR 86 bp, IL6 -174 G>C, IL10 -819 C>T and TNFα -308 G>A, involved in symptomatic patients with dengue in Brazil.

Objective: In this study, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of interleukin (IL) 1β -511C>T, IL1RN VNTR 86 bp, IL6 -174G>C, IL10 -819C>T and TNFα -308G>A were analyzed by PCR-RFLP with symptoms of dengue with the clinical features.

Subjects: 196 individuals admitted to the São José Infectious Diseases Hospital with suspected dengue infection. Dengue was confirmed in 111 of the patients.

Association of Polymorphisms in IL1β -511C>T, IL1RN 86 bp VNTR, and IL6 -174G>C Genes with Clinical Dengue Signs and Symptoms in Brazilian Dengue Patients.

Dengue is an important infectious disease that has high morbidity and mortality rates in most tropical and subtropical areas of the world. The diversity of the clinical manifestations involved in the outcome of dengue virus infection is affected by the relationship between serotype/genotype of the virus, host immune status, host genetic background, and environmental factors. Polymorphisms in interleukin (IL) genes have been associated with risk of developing symptomatic dengue.
