Aim: Pain is prevalent in sickle cell disease (SCD) patients who display great heterogeneity in pain severity and frequency. Hypothesizing that inflammatory factors are involved in the pathogenesis of SCD pain, we focused on the IL1A C/T polymorphism rs1800587 that is an SNP located in a cis-transcriptional regulatory region.
Methods: We genotyped IL1A rs1800587 and performed association studies with phenotype data obtained by a multidimensional pain assessment tool using the PAINReportIt Questionnaire.
Results: Each T allele was associated with a 3.9 increase in composite pain index score (p = 0.04) as determined by multiple linear regression.
Conclusion: IL1A rs1800587 may influence chronic pain in SCD.

Article Synopsis
- - Migraine affects 14.4% of people globally and involves complex biological processes including brain activation and inflammation.
- - A study of 92 migraine patients and 88 healthy controls examined the frequency of the -899C > T (rs1800587) genetic variant and its link to migraine symptoms.
- - Results showed that the -899C > T variant was connected to aura and osmophobia in migraine patients but not to overall susceptibility to migraines.

Background: Intervertebral disc (IVD) degenerative disease is a multifactorial disease for which genetics plays an integral role. Several genes, and their variants, associated with the development and progression of IVD degenerative disease have been identified. While several studies have investigated these genes in Asian and European populations, no available evidence exists for the South African population.

Background And Aim: Infertility in women has various causes, one of which is ovulation disorders. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affecting ovulation is a complex idiopathic disease in which genetic polymorphisms may be involved. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between IL-6 -174 G/C and IL-1A -889 G/A cytokine polymorphisms with polycystic ovary syndrome in a population of Iranian women.

Polymorphisms located in IL1A and IL6 are promising markers of obesity-related traits; however, studies concerning their potential impact on the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions are lacking. Therefore, the aim was to examine the association between the polymorphic sites located in IL1A (rs1800587) and IL6 (rs1800795, rs1800796, and rs1800797) and the body's response to a 12-week training program. We studied the genotype distribution in a group of 168 Caucasian females in whom body mass and composition parameters, the lipid profile, and glucose levels were measured before and after the exercise period.
