Interleukin 17A (IL-17A) is a critical cytokine involved in inflammatory diseases and inflammation-associated cancers. Increasing case-control studies have implicated crucial roles of IL-17A single nucleotide polymorphisms (G197A and C1249T) in gastric carcinogenesis, but providing inconclusive findings. The present study is aimed to estimate the association of IL-17A G197A and C1249T polymorphisms with gastric cancer risk by pooling all available publications. A comprehensive literature search in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang databases was performed for eligible publications from their inception up to May 5, 2014. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to estimate the effect of IL-17A polymorphisms on gastric carcinogenesis. Stratified analysis by ethnicity, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, and smoking status were also conducted. All analyses were performed by using the Stata 12.0 software. There were five case-control studies with 2,774 cases and 3,162 controls and two case-control studies with 620 cases and 1,123 controls on the susceptibility of IL-17A G197A and C1249T polymorphisms to gastric cancer, respectively. Significant association was observed between IL-17A G197A polymorphism and gastric cancer risk, particularly among Asians. The status of H. pylori infection and smoking did not influence this association. In addition, the IL-17A C1249T polymorphism did not confer a risk effect on gastric carcinogenesis. The pooled results were not materially altered by sensitivity analysis. We firstly show that the polymorphism of IL-17A G197A but not C1249T is a risk factor for gastric cancer.

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.

Severity of symptoms in COVID-19 has been shown to result from a cytokine storm. Interleukin (IL)-17 is one of these various cytokines, which results in a proinflammatory response, systemic inflammatory symptoms, inflammatory cell infiltration of lung tissue and thus leads to the massive lung pathology and multiorgan failure. Gene polymorphisms in the regulatory regions of cytokine-encoding genes affect the amounts of cytokines produced and possess a fundamental role in infectious diseases.

Background: Until a few years ago, keratoconus was defined as a noninflammatory degenerative disease. However, recent studies have shown that the altered balance between inflammatory cytokines, proteases, and protease inhibitors, as well as free radicals and oxidants, have a crucial role in the pathogenesis of this disease. The aim of this study is to investigate whether interleukin 17 A G197A (rs2275913) and interleukin 17 F T7488C (rs763780) polymorphisms are associated with keratoconus in patients from a population of the northwestern region of the State of São Paulo, Brazil.

Background: Genetic variation in immune regulatory genes might influence the HBV infection outcome.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the association of IL-17A rs2275913 (G197A), IL-17F rs763780 (A7488G), and IL-23R rs10889677 (C2370A) gene polymorphisms, as well as the emerged haplotypes in the individual infected by HBV and to investigate their association with the infection outcome.
Materials And Methods: 300 chronic HBV infections with Cirrhotic/Hepatocellular carcinoma(C/HCC), chronic active (CA), and asymptomatic carrier (AC) and 38 individuals whose infection was spontaneously cleared (SC) were enrolled.

Background: T-helper 17 plays a novel role in inflammation in gastritis by producing IL-17A, IL-17A gene polymorphisms that might be responsible for disease susceptibility and development of different gastric lesions.
Objective: The aims of study was to determine the association of IL-17A (G197A) genotype and allele frequency with disease phenotype and risk with different gastric lesions.
Methods: Case controlled study involved 30 gastroduodenal ulcer, 30 chronic gastritis and 30 subjects as a control group with negative endoscopic findings.
