▶Genetic epistasis of IL23/IL17 pathway genes in Crohnʼs diseaseAssociationN=1,017Dermot P.B. McGovern et al.(2009)· Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
This case-control study of 763 Crohn's disease cases and 254 healthy controls investigated 10 genes in the IL23/IL17 pathway, identifying novel haplotype associations in IL17A (p=0.02), IL17RA (p=0.001), IL17RD (p=0.001), IL12RB1 (p=0.003), and IL12RB2 (p=0.001). Combined risk haplotypes from multiple pathway genes showed cumulative effect with OR=4.3 for 5 risk haplotypes (p=1.7×10⁻⁷), and significant epistatic interactions were observed between IL17A and IL23R variants (p=0.047) and between IL17RA and IL23R variants (p=0.036).
About IL17RA
Interleukin 17A (IL17A) is a proinflammatory cytokine secreted by activated T-lymphocytes. It is a potent inducer of the maturation of CD34-positive hematopoietic precursors into neutrophils. The transmembrane protein encoded by this gene (interleukin 17A receptor; IL17RA) is a ubiquitous type I membrane glycoprotein that binds with low affinity to interleukin 17A. Interleukin 17A and its receptor play a pathogenic role in many inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Like other cytokine receptors, this receptor likely has a multimeric structure. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
