Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the IL-1beta gene could be a genetic marker of the thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) development.

Materials And Methods: The IL-1beta gene polymorphisms at -511 and +3953 regions in 117 TAO patients of Polish origin (ATA/NOSPECS class III or greater) and in 106 controls were studied.

Results: We found no significant differences in the frequencies of genotypes and allelic variants for SNP -511 and SNP +3953 between the controls and the studied groups.

Conclusions: No association between the IL-1beta polymorphisms and the TAO existed, so those polymorphisms are not suitable genetic markers for TAO.

This study aimed to investigate the association between the interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) gene polymorphism (rs2853550) and the risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in a sample of the Iraqi population. The study included 100 RA patients and 100 healthy controls. Demographic characteristics, including age and gender, were collected and compared between the two groups.

Background/objectives: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a multifactorial disease where the inflammatory state is crucial. This study analyzes the association of the IL-1RN (rs2234663) and IL-1β (rs1143627, rs16944) variants and IL-1β levels with CRC.

Methods: This study included 230 CRC patients and 256 controls.

A considerable portion of the global population is affected by pulpitis and periapical lesions. While the impact of infections caused by various microbes and host effector molecules in pulpal and periapical diseases is widely recognized, disease susceptibility and progression are also influenced by the dynamic interaction between host genetic factors and environmental influences. Apical periodontitis occurs as an inflammatory response to microorganisms present in the root canals of infected teeth.

Electronic address:

Background: Previous observational studies have reported that systemic cytokines are associated with the risk of inflammatory skin diseases, but their conclusions remain controversial.

Method: We conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis to assess the relationship between systemic cytokines and six inflammatory skin disorders (including alopecia areata (AA), acne, atopic dermatitis (AD), hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), psoriasis (PS) and vitiligo), based on datasets from EArly Genetics and Lifecourse Epidemiology (EAGLE) eczema consortium, acne GWAS conducted by Maris Teder Laving et al., IEU Open GWAS, and FinnGen database.
