Genetic variation of FTO: rs1421085 T&gt;C, rs8057044 G&gt;A, rs9939609 T&gt;A, and copy number (CNV) in Mexican Mayan school‐aged children with obesity/overweight and with normal weight
ReviewLizbeth González‐Herrera et al.(2019)· American Journal of Human Biology

A literature review of 70 studies examining single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with obesity in Mexican populations published 2011-2021. The authors identified SNPs with differential behavior in Mexican compared to Caucasian populations, including rs17782313 (MC4R), rs6548238 (TMEM18), rs6265 (BDNF), rs7498665 (SH2B1), and notably rs6232 (PCSK1) associated with early-onset obesity in Mexican youth. The review emphasizes ethnicity-dependent genetic effects on BMI heritability (40-70%) and highlights genes involved in cholesterol metabolism and adipokine signaling pathways.

Polymorphisms in the IL‐1 gene cluster influence systemic inflammation in patients at risk for acute‐on‐chronic liver failure
AssociationN=279José Alcaraz‐Quiles et al.(2017)· Hepatology

A case-control study of 279 cirrhotic patients (178 with acute-on-chronic liver failure, 101 controls) examining IL-1 gene cluster polymorphisms found that IL-1β rs1143623 CC genotype (OR=0.34) and IL-1ra rs4251961 TC genotype (OR=0.58) were protective against ACLF and associated with lower inflammatory cytokine levels and reduced 28-day mortality. The protective genotypes modulated systemic inflammation through altered IL-1 signaling pathways.

IL-10gene polymorphism is associated with preschool atopy and early-life recurrent wheezing after bronchiolitis in infancy
AssociationN=135Matti Korppi et al.(2017)· Pediatric Pulmonology

This prospective cohort study of 135 infants hospitalized for bronchiolitis found that IL10 gene polymorphisms (rs1800896, rs1800871, rs1800872, rs1800890) were associated with increased atopy and early-life asthma at 5-7 years follow-up. Children carrying the IL10 rs1800896/rs1800871/rs1800872 low IL-10-producing variant genotype ACC/ATA had significantly higher current atopy (72% vs 38%, p=0.02; OR 2.2), and ATA haplotype carriers had elevated asthma risk between ages 1-3 years (OR 2.2-2.7).

Glutathione‐S‐transferase P1 may predispose children to a decline in pulmonary function after stem cell transplant
AssociationN=49Julie Stark et al.(2017)· Pediatric Pulmonology

A retrospective study of 49 pediatric stem cell transplant patients found that the GSTP1 SNP rs1695 was significantly associated with pulmonary function decline at 1 year post-SCT. Patients homozygous for the ancestral allele (A) showed greater decline in FEV1 (adjusted p<0.01) and FEF25-75 (adjusted p=0.02) compared to those with at least one minor allele (G), suggesting the Val158Met variant may provide protection against post-SCT pulmonary complications.

Variation in genes involved in the immune response and prostate cancer risk in the placebo arm of the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial
AssociationN=1,729Winchester DA et al.(2015)· The Prostate

This prospective case-control study examined genetic variation in immune response genes and prostate cancer risk in the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT) placebo arm. Among 881 cases and 848 controls, the minor allele of rs3212227 in IL12(p40) was associated with increased prostate cancer risk (OR=1.30, 95% CI 1.10-1.53, P-trend=0.0017), particularly for lower-grade disease. The minor alleles of IL10 tagSNPs rs3021094 (OR=1.31, 95% CI 1.03-1.66, P-trend=0.03) and rs1800890 (OR=0.87, 95% CI 0.75-0.99, P-trend=0.04) showed significant associations. The study investigated whether observed associations were explained by PSA-associated detection bias and found that associations persisted in men with low PSA levels.

Association study of IL10 and IL23R–IL12RB2 in Iranian patients with Behçet's disease
FunctionalN=14Joana M. Xavier et al.(2012)· Arthritis &amp; Rheumatism

This is a Turkish master's thesis investigating the relationship between the rs924080 variant in the IL23R-IL12RB2 intergenic region (previously identified as Behçet's disease-associated in GWAS studies, P<0.0001) and IL23R/IL12RB2 gene expression in healthy volunteers. The study examined 14 healthy subjects (6 heterozygous AG, 4 homozygous AA, 4 GG control for the risk A allele) and found that the rs924080 A risk allele significantly enhanced IL-23R stimulation responses and IL-6 cytokine production, suggesting a modulatory role in Th17 and IL-6 responses implicated in Behçet's disease pathogenesis.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms of 8 inflammation‐related genes and their associations with smoking‐related cancers
AssociationN=3,715Sam S. Oh et al.(2010)· International Journal of Cancer

This case-control study evaluated 12 SNPs in 8 inflammation-related genes across three studies (Los Angeles, Taixing China, and Memorial Sloan-Kettering) involving 2,049 smoking-related cancer cases and 1,666 controls. IL10 rs1800871 was inversely associated with oropharyngeal cancer (aOR: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.50-0.95) and positively associated with lung cancer among never smokers (aOR: 2.5, 95% CI: 1.3-5.1). TNF rs1799964 was inversely associated with smoking-related cancer in pooled never smokers (aOR: 0.36, 95% CI: 0.17-0.77). After Bayesian correction for multiple comparisons, IL10 rs1800871 and TNF rs1799964 emerged as noteworthy susceptibility markers for smoking-related cancers.

This PhD thesis comprises four association studies examining inherited variations in inflammatory cytokine genes and their pathogenetic role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), multiple myeloma (MM), and B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL). Paper I found that CHI3L1 promoter polymorphisms (rs4950928) were significantly associated with serum YKL-40 concentrations in 238 RA patients (P < 2.0e-16) and 605 controls. Paper IV reported CHI3L1 rs4950928 associated with follicular lymphoma 10-year overall survival (HRCG = 2.04, 95% CI 1.17-3.54). Papers II and III examined gene-gene interactions in MM and B-NHL risk and prognosis.

Confirmation of STAT4, IL2/IL21, and CTLA4 polymorphisms in rheumatoid arthritis
ReviewNina A. Daha et al.(2009)· Arthritis &amp; Rheumatism

This systematic literature review examines interleukin (IL) and interleukin receptor gene polymorphisms associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), covering studies from the past 10 years. The review discusses the pathogenesis of RA as a multifactorial autoimmune disease where genetic factors account for approximately 60% of disease risk. Multiple polymorphisms across IL-1, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-15, IL-17, IL-18, and IL-23R genes have been investigated in various populations, with inconsistent results across populations. The paper also reviews current and future therapeutic targets including anti-TNF, anti-IL-1, anti-IL-6, and anti-IL-17 treatments.

A review article examining the genetic basis of COVID-19 susceptibility and protection from a longevity model perspective. The authors propose that genetic variants in the renin-angiotensin system (ACE, ACE2, AT1R, ANGIOTENSINOGEN), innate immunity genes (TLR4, CCR5, Connexin37), inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, IFN-γ), and coagulation factors (PAI-1, Factor V) may influence COVID-19 outcomes, with long-lived individuals (nonagenarians/centenarians) serving as a model for identifying protective genetic profiles.

About IL10

The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine produced primarily by monocytes and to a lesser extent by lymphocytes. This cytokine has pleiotropic effects in immunoregulation and inflammation. It down-regulates the expression of Th1 cytokines, MHC class II Ags, and costimulatory molecules on macrophages. It also enhances B cell survival, proliferation, and antibody production. This cytokine can block NF-kappa B activity, and is involved in the regulation of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Knockout studies in mice suggested the function of this cytokine as an essential immunoregulator in the intestinal tract. Mutations in this gene are associated with an increased susceptibility to HIV-1 infection and rheumatoid arthritis. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]
