Objective: This study determined whether tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and Interleukin-10 (IL-10) polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to dengue.

Methods: a systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted of the associations between the TNF-α (-308G/A) and IL-10 (-819C/T) polymorphisms and dengue.

Results: A total of eight case-controls studies involving 384 individuals with symptomatic dengue, 571 individuals with dengue hemorrhagic fever, and 995 healthy controls were considered in the meta-analysis. There was no significant association between TNF-α (-308G/A) and IL-10 (-819C/T) polymorphism and dengue in overall population. However, stratifying meta-analysis by groups, the meta-analysis revealed association between the TNF-α -308 G/G (OR: 1.62, CI: 1.02-2.57, p = 0.04) genotype and allele G (OR: 1.62, CI: 1.04-2.55, p = 0.03) that confers susceptibility to symptomatic dengue, while the TNF-α -308 G/A genotype (OR: 0.69, CI = 0.39-0.99, p = 0.04) and allele A (OR: 0.64, CI: 0.41-1.00, p = 0.05) confers protection to symptomatic dengue. No difference was observed for the TNF-α (-308) and IL-10 (-819C/T) polymorphisms in the comparisons of hemorrhagic dengue versus control and hemorrhagic dengue versus symptomatic dengue.

Conclusion: This meta-analysis showed that TNF-α (-308) polymorphism is associated with dengue symptomatic susceptibility.

The risk of HIV-1 infection and the rate of disease progression vary considerably among individuals and the genetic makeup of the host may be one of the possible reasons for this. We aimed to determine association of functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs), -1082A/G (rs1800896), -819C/T (rs1800871), and -592C/A (rs1800872) in IL-10 gene, with the susceptibility to HIV-1 infection and clinical parameters expressed as a baseline CD4 T cell count, CD8 T cell count, and viral load. Therapy naïve HIV-1 infected individuals and HIV-1 seronegative controls from Poland were recruited for this study.

IL-6 and IL-10 may affect the activity of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A enzymes involved in tacrolimus (Tac) metabolism. Moreover, the effect of IL-6 and IL-10 on Tac pharmacokinetics may differ with respect to the genetic variations in their genes. To examine the influence of IL-6 and IL-10 gene polymorphisms on Tac dose requirements and exposure over a 5-year period following kidney transplantation.

Leprosy, caused by is a chronic infectious disease that impacts the skin and peripheral nerves, causing long-term disability. The invasion of into the body triggers immunologic responses and single single-nucleotide polymorphisms in cytokine-encoding genes may influence predisposition and susceptibility, possibly predicting the incidence of leprosy reactions. The aim of this study was to assess the gene polymorphism of interleukin-10 promoter -819C/T in leprosy patients, leprosy patients with erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) reaction, and household contacts.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explored the relationship between specific gene polymorphisms (TNFA -308G/A and IL10 -819C/T) and gene expression levels in patients with pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis, compared to a control group.
  • Findings showed no significant link between gene polymorphisms and pulmonary tuberculosis, but TNFA -308G/A polymorphisms were associated with extrapulmonary cases.
  • Additionally, lower TNFA expression levels in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis were linked to a potential anti-inflammatory effect that may help the bacteria persist in the host.
