Article Abstract
Although interleukin (IL)-23 receptor (IL-23R) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of multiple cancers, its association with cancer risk is inconsistent across different studies. We therefore conducted a meta-analysis with the aim of resolving the relationship among the 3 common polymorphisms of IL-23R (rs6682925, rs10889677, rs1884444) and cancer risk.Case-control studies evaluating the association between IL-23R polymorphisms (rs6682925, rs10889677, rs1884444) and cancer risk were searched in the PubMed, Web of Science, and CNKI databases.Data were included in the meta-analysis if they were from original studies adopting a case-control design investigating the association between IL-23R polymorphisms and risk of any cancer; all cancer cases must have been confirmed by histology or pathology, and controls selected from noncancer individuals. Case-only studies and review papers were excluded.Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to evaluate the relationship of IL-23R polymorphisms (rs6682925, rs10889677, rs1884444) with cancer risk. A random-effects model or fixed-effects model was used depending on the heterogeneity of the data.Ultimately, 15 studies, involving 8784 cancer patients and 10,321 cancer-free controls, were included in our meta-analysis. In the overall analysis, the rs10889677 polymorphism was associated with breast cancer (BC) under the allelic, homozygous, dominant, and heterozygous models. Rs1884444 polymorphism was relevant to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) under the homozygous, recessive, and allelic models. However, no evidence of a relationship between IL-23R polymorphisms (rs6682925, rs10889677, rs1884444) and cancer risk was found in the overall population.Our meta-analysis provides no evidence supporting a global association of IL-23R polymorphisms (rs6682925, rs10889677, rs1884444) with the risk of cancer. However, rs10889677 may be associated with BC susceptibility and rs1884444 had association with HCC risk. Further large and well-designed studies are warranted to confirm this finding.

Spondylarthritides (SpA) are a group of autoinflammatory diseases affecting the spine, peripheral joints, and entheses, including axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and psoriatic arthritis. AxSpA has a multifactorial etiology that involves genetic predispositions, such as HLA-B27 and IL-23R. Although HLA-B27 is strongly associated with axSpA, its role remains unclear.

Previous studies reveal that psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) share susceptibility genes, such as HLA-B27, demonstrating a degree of genetic overlap between these diseases. Recent studies have identified a number of novel AS and PsA genetic susceptibility loci, but data on these loci in Chinese PsA patients are limited. To identify candidate genes that confer susceptibility to PsA in Chinese patients with PsA, psoriasis vulgaris (PsV), and healthy controls.

Background: Through investigating genetic variations, it has been demonstrated that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IL-23 receptor (IL23R) gene have a critical role in the pathophysiology of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Here, we investigated whether the IL23R variant (rs1884444) is associated with AS in the Iranian population.
Methods And Material: In this research, we analyzed rs1884444 in a group of 425 patients with AS and 400 matched controls.

The etiology of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) development remained unclear, and several factors, such as environmental, genetic, and immune system dysfunction, have been attributed to the susceptibility. Interleukin 23 (IL23) induces expansion of the Th17 cells through the IL-23 receptor (IL-23R) and believes in playing a major role in RA pathogenesis. Various genetic mutants in the IL23R gene (rs10489629, rs1343151, rs2201841, rs7517847, rs1004819, rs10889677, rs11209026, rs7530511) have been associated with the susceptibility RA, but results are contradictories.

Article Synopsis
- * This study focused on the connection between SNPs in the IL23R and IL17A genes and the risk of developing RA in the Western Chinese Han population, examining genetic data from 246 RA patients and 362 healthy individuals.
- * Results showed that specific SNPs (rs6693831 and rs1884444 in the IL23R gene) are significantly associated with RA susceptibility, with certain genotypes indicating a higher risk for developing the disease.
