The present study investigates the potential role of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as risk factors in the development of sarcoidosis using a novel high-throughput microtiter well-based bioluminometric genotyping assay. One hundred and nineteen Greek patients with sarcoidosis and 209 control subjects were genotyped for the two SNPs of the TLR4 gene. The genotypes observed were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The heterozygote frequency for both SNPs in sarcoidosis group and control population was 13.4% (16/119) and 10.5% (22/209), respectively. The minor genotype was found to be the same for both sarcoidosis and control groups and similar to that found in other Caucasian populations. No significant association of Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile polymorphisms with increased susceptibility to sarcoidosis was found (p = 0.61 and odds ratio = 1.183). In conclusion, genotype data for the TLR4 Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile polymorphisms in the Greek population were found to be in linkage disequilibrium, and no contribution in the pathogenesis of sarcoidosis was established. Further, in course of the present study, we demonstrated a very simple and sensitive high-throughput bioluminometric assay for genotyping Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile polymorphisms in the TLR4 gene.

Article Synopsis
- * The study examined the relationship between certain gene variations (polymorphisms) of IL17 and TLR4 and their impact on the likelihood of developing metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MASLD), using genetic testing and serum level analysis.
- * Findings revealed that individuals with specific genetic variants of IL17 and TLR4 had significantly higher odds of developing conditions like metabolic associated steatotic liver disease (MASH) and metabolic associated fatty liver (MAFL); notably, certain alleles were strongly correlated with these increased risks.

Objectives: To investigate associations of the carriage of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of proteins involved in the immune response of patients with brucellosis.
Methods: A case control study of patients with brucellosis upon WHO criteria. Blood genomic analysis was performed by RFLP- PCR for the detection of SNPs: i) at promoters -376 G > A (rs1800750); -308 G > A (rs 1,800,629); -238 G > A (rs361525) of the TNF gene, ii) at -896 A > G Asp299Gly (rs4986790) and -1196 C > T Thr399Ile (rs4986791) positions of the TLR-4 gene.

Several investigations have been carried out to explore the genetic association of TLR4 codon variants, specifically Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile, and susceptibility to sepsis, but the results have been contradictory. The present study aimed to conduct a meta-analysis to draw a definitive conclusion regarding the role of TLR4 genetic variants (Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile) in sepsis. A thorough literature search was conducted using the PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct databases.

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are cellular innate immune receptors that explore microbial molecules. For instance, TLR4 can sense bacterial lipopolysaccharides, inducing cytokines and antimicrobial peptides against the bacteria. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TLR4 are associated with diseases such as septic shock.
