Aim: To determine whether there was an association between inter-cellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) gene polymorphism and biliary atresia (BA), and to investigate the relationship between serum soluble ICAM-1 (sICAM-1) and clinical outcome in BA patients after surgical treatment.
Methods: Eighty-three BA patients and 115 normal controls were genotyped. K469E ICAM-1 polymorphism was analyzed using PCR assay. Serum sICAM-1 was determined using ELISA method from 72 BA patients. In order to evaluate the association between these variables and their clinical outcome, the patients were categorized into two groups: patients without jaundice and those with persistent jaundice.
Results: There were no significant differences between BA patients and controls in terms of gender, K469E ICAM-1 genotypes, and alleles. The proportion of patients having serum sICAM-1 >=3 500 ng/mL in persistent jaundice group was significantly higher than that in the other group. In addition, there was no association between K469E ICAM-1 polymorphism and the status of jaundice in BA patients after Kasai operation.
Conclusion: ICAM-1 possibly plays an important and active role in the disease progression. However, the process is not associated with genetic variation of K469E ICAM-1 polymorphism.

Context: The role of genetic factors in the development of diabetic retinopathy is evident from the fact that only 50% of patients with the non-proliferative type of diabetic retinopathy progress to proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Though the K469E polymorphism of the ICAM-1 (Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1) gene is known to increase the risk of developing Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) among Type 2 diabetic patients, its role in the development of severe DR has not been extensively studied.
Aim: Hence, we aimed to determine the risk due to association of K469E polymorphism of ICAM-1 gene and sight threatening diabetic retinopathy.

Background: Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is a surface glycoprotein important for tumor invasion and angiogenesis. The present research is conducted to investigate whether specific gene polymorphism of ICAM-1 K469E (rs5498) and plasma redox status could be associated with laryngeal cancer (LC) development. Since there is no clear evidence which investigates the relationship between ICAM-1 polymorphism and ROS-mediated plasma protein oxidation in LC, our study is the first significant contribution for investigating the relationship.

This study was aimed to explore the correlation of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) K469E and megakaryoblastic leukaemia factor-1 (MKL-1) -184C/T polymorphisms with the susceptibility to coronary heart disease (CHD) in the Chinese Han population. 100 CHD patients and 91 healthy people that had no blood connection with each other were enrolled in this case-control study. ICAM-1 and MKL-1 polymorphisms were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) approach.

AIM: To investigate the frequencies and association of polymorphic genotypes of IL-8 -251 T>A, TNF-α -308 G>A, ICAM-1 K469E, ICAM-1 R241G, IL-6 -174 G>C, and PPAR-γ 34 C>G in modulating susceptibility risk in Malaysian colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Methods: In this case-control study, peripheral blood samples of 560 study subjects (280 CRC patients and 280 controls) were collected, DNA extracted and genotyped using PCR-RFLP and Allele Specific PCR. The association between polymorphic genotype and CRC susceptibility risk was determined using Logistic Regression analysis deriving Odds ratio (OR) and 95% CI.

Background: The intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1)/leukocyte function associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) adhesion system regulates leukocyte interactions, migration, and adhesion, and appears to play an important role in atherosclerosis and thrombosis. Therefore, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the ICAM-1 gene may strongly influence the expression and biological activity of ICAM-1 and play a potentially important role in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. In the current meta-analysis, we investigated the relationship between the ICAM-1 gene K469E SNP and the risk of ischemic stroke.
