Effects of Interleukin-10 -1082G/A and -592C/A Gene Polymorphisms on the Risk of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 Infection: An Updated Meta-analysis

This paper has aimed to review the available evidence on the association between Interleukin (IL) -10 -1082G/A, -592C/A gene polymorphisms and the risk of human immunodeficiency virus-1(HIV-1) infection. The data of PubMed updated in May 2021 were retrieved. The HIV infection risks were estimated in allelic, recessive, dominant, homozygous, heterozygous, over-dominant models of IL-10-1082G/A and-592C/A gene locus as odds ratio (OR) with the corresponding 95% confidence interval (95% CI). The correlation was not significant between -1082G/A polymorphism and HIV-1 susceptibility (allelic model (G vs. A: OR (95% CI)=0.968 (0.878-1.067)); recessive model (GG vs. AA+AG: OR (95% CI)=0.940, (0.771-1.146)); dominant model (GG+AG vs. AA: OR (95% CI)=0.967(0.846-1.106)); homozygous model (GG vs. AA: OR (95% CI)=0.971(0.780-1.209)); heterozygous model (AG vs. AA: OR (95% CI)=0.988(0.797-1.224)) and over-dominant model (GG+AA vs. AG: OR (95% CI)=0.969(0.781-1.201)). IL-10-592C/A polymorphism might be related to HIV-1 in allelic model, dominant model, homozygous model and heterozygous model (OR (95% CI)(0.796-0.965); OR (95% CI)=0.793(0.664-0.948); OR (95% CI)=0.755,(0.612-0.930); OR (95% CI)=0.820(0.679-0.991), respectively), but not to recessive model and over-dominant model (OR (95% CI)=0.882(0.770-1.010) and OR (95% CI)=1.009(0.897-1.148)).     

Genetic polymorphisms in IL10RA and TNF modify the association between blood transfusion and risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma

We conducted a population-based case-control study in Connecticut women to test the hypothesis that genetic variations in Th1 and Th2 cytokine genes may modify the association between blood transfusion and risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Compared with women without blood transfusion, women with a history of transfusion had an increased risk of NHL if they carried IL10RA (rs9610) GG genotype [odds ratio (OR) = 1.9, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.1-3.2] or TNF (rs1800629) AG/AA genotypes (OR = 1.6, 95% CI: 0.9-2.7). We also found women with a history of transfusion had a decreased risk of NHL if they carried IL10RA (rs9610) AG/AA genotypes (OR = 0.6, 95% CI: 0.4-0.9) or TNF (rs1800629) GG genotype (OR = 0.7, 95% CI: 0.5-1.0). A similar pattern was also observed for B-cell lymphoma but not for T-cell lymphoma. Statistically significant interactions with blood transfusion were observed for IL10RA (rs9610) (P(forinteraction) = 0.003) and TNF (rs1800629) (P(forinteraction) = 0.012) for NHL overall and IL10RA (rs9610) (P(forinteraction) = 0.001) and TNF (rs1800629) (P(forinteraction) = 0.019) for B-cell lymphoma. The results suggest that genetic polymorphisms in TNF and IL10RA genes may modify the association between blood transfusion and NHL risk.     

Role of interleukin-28B polymorphisms in the treatment of hepatitis C virus genotype 2 infection in Asian patients

Genome-wide association studies have linked single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) near the interleukin-28B gene to the hepatitis C virus genotype 1 (HCV-1) response to peginterferon/ribavirin treatment. We aimed to explore the impact on the treatment outcomes of Asian HCV-2 patients. We determined rs8105790, rs8099917, rs4803219, and rs10853728 to be candidate SNPs in 482 Asian HCV-2 patients treated with the standard of care. Because the first three SNPs were in very strong linkage disequilibrium with one another (r2 = 0.94-0.96), rs8099917 and rs10853728 were selected for an analysis of their influence on the achievement of rapid virological response [RVR; seronegativity for hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in treatment week 4] and sustained virological response (SVR; seronegativity for HCV RNA throughout 24 weeks of posttreatment follow-up). The rs10853728 genotype did not predict RVR or SVR in HCV-2 patients. However, patients with the rs8099917 TT genotype, in comparison with patients with GT/GG genotypes, had a significantly higher rate of achieving RVR (85.2% versus 72.0%, P = 0.017) but did have not a significantly higher rate of achieving SVR (89.4% versus 86.0%). Multivariate analysis revealed that a baseline HCV viral load <400,000 IU/mL was the strongest predictor of RVR [odds ratio (OR) = 4.27, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.31-7.87, P < 0.001], and this was followed by advanced liver fibrosis (OR = 0.28, 95% CI = 0.15-0.53, P < 0.001), the carriage of the rs8099917 TT genotype (OR = 3.10, 95% CI = 1.34-7.21, P = 0.008), and the pretreatment level of aspartate aminotransferase (OR = 0.996, 95% CI = 0.99-1.00, P = 0.04). Nevertheless, the achievement of RVR was the single predictor of SVR with an OR of 19.37 (95% CI = 8.89-42.23, P < 0.001), whereas the rs8099917 genotypes played no role in achieving SVR with or without RVR. CONCLUSION: The rs8099917 TT genotype is significantly independently predictive of RVR, which is the single best predictor of SVR, in Asian HCV-2 patients.     

Relationship between IL‐10 gene −1082A/G and −592C/A polymorphisms and the risk of hepatitis C infection: a meta‐analysis

Increasing evidence suggests that interleukin‐10 (IL‐10) gene promoter polymorphisms may be associated with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and HCV clearance. To more precisely estimate the association between these variants and the risk of HCV infection, we performed a meta‐analysis of 26 studies describing the IL‐10–1082A/G, –819C/T, –592C/A genotypes, including 4039 chronic HCV infection cases and 2902 controls. When compared with a healthy population, the –1082GG allele had a 43% increased risk of chronic HCV infection in combined populations (GG vs GA + AA: odds ratio (OR) = 1.433, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.052–1.952, P = 0.023). In subgroup analysis by ethnicity, a significant increased risk was associated with the ?1082GG genotype in the Caucasian population (GG vs AA: OR = 1.390, 95% CI: 1.108–1.744, P = 0.004; GG vs GA + AA: OR = 1.621, 95% CI: 1.267–2.075, P = 0.000). However, no significant association was found in Asian, African or Chinese populations. Moreover, a higher distribution of ?592A was found in the spontaneously recovered population (AA vs CC: OR = 0.585, 95% CI = 0.387–0.884, P = 0.011; AA + AC vs CC: OR = 0.738, 95% CI = 0.551–0.988, P = 0.041; AA vs AC + CC: OR = 0.788, 95% CI = 0.664–0.935, P = 0.006) than that in the chronic HCV infection population. In conclusion, the IL‐10–1082GG allele may increase the risk of chronic HCV infection in Caucasian population, and people carrying the IL‐10–592A allele are more likely to clear HCV spontaneously.     

Interleukin-10-1082G/A polymorphism and acute liver graft rejection: a meta-analysis

AIM: To investigate the association between interleukin (IL)-10-1082 (G/A) promoter polymorphism and acute rejection (AR) in liver transplant (LT) recipients.METHODS: Two investigators independently searched the Medline, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Chinese Biomedicine Databases. Summary odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs for IL-10-1082 G/A polymorphism and AR were calculated in a fixed- and a random-effects model as appropriate.RESULTS: This meta-analysis included seven case-control studies, which comprised 652 cases of LT recipients in which 241 cases developed AR and 411 cases did not develop AR. Overall, the variant A allele was not associated with AR risk when compared with the wild-type G allele (OR = 0.94, 95% CI: 0.64-1.39). Moreover, similar results were observed when the AA genotype was compared with the AG/GG genotype (OR = 1.05, 95% CI: 0.55-2.02). When stratifying for ethnicity, no significant association was observed among either Caucasians or Asians. Because only one study was performed in Asian patients, the result of subgroup analysis by ethnicity would not be reliable for Asians. Limiting the analysis to the studies with controls in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the results were persistent and robust. No publication bias was found in the present study.CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis suggests that IL-10-1082 G/A polymorphism may be not associated with AR risk in LT recipients among Caucasians.     

Association of interleukin-10 polymorphisms with risk of irritable bowel syndrome:A meta-analysis

AIM:To clarify the current understanding of the association between interleukin-10(IL-10)polymorphisms and the risk of irritable bowel syndrome(IBS).METHODS:We searched for studies in any language recorded in PubMed,Embase and Cochrane library before August 2013.The associations under allele contrast model,codominant model,dominant model,and recessive model were analyzed.The strengths of the association between IL-10 polymorphisms and IBS risk were estimated using odds ratios(OR)with 95%confidence interval(CI).Fixed effects model was used to pool the result if the test of heterogeneity was not significant,otherwise the random-effect model was selected.RESULTS:Eight case-control studies analyzing three single-nucleotide polymorphisms rs1800870(-1082 A/G),rs1800871(-819C/T),and rs1800872(-592A/C)of the IL-10 gene,which involved 928 cases and 1363 controls,were eligible for our analysis.The results showed that rs1800870 polymorphisms were associated with a decreased risk of IBS(GG+GA vs AA:OR=0.80,95%CI:0.66-0.96),(AA+GA vs GG:OR=0.68,95%CI:0.52-0.90).Subgroup analysis revealed such association only existed in Caucasian ethnicity(AA+GA vs GG,OR=0.70,95%CI:0.55-0.89).The rs1800872 polymorphisms were associated with an increased risk of IBS in Asian ethnicity(CC vs GG:OR=1.29,95%CI:1.01-1.16).There were no associations between rs1800871 polymorphisms and the IBS risk.CONCLUSION:The results suggest that IL-10 rs1800870confers susceptibility to the risk of IBS in Caucasian ethnicity,and the rs1800872 may associate with IBS risk in Asians.However,no significant associations are found between rs1800871 and IBS risk.     

Interleukin-10 gene promoter polymorphisms influence the clinical outcome of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

The aim of the study was to investigate whether interleukin-10 (IL-10) genetic polymorphisms influence this cytokine production as well as the incidence and outcome of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The frequency of IL-10(-1082G) allele was found to be higher in 199 patients with DLBCL as compared with 112 control subjects (0.47 versus 0.39, P =.043). Increased serum levels of IL-10 were associated with adverse prognostic factors and poor DLBCL outcome. The frequencies of IL-10(-819T) and IL-10(-592A) alleles were lower in patients with elevated IL-10 serum levels (0.155 versus 0.32, P =.14). As compared with patients carrying the IL-10(-1082AA) genotype, patients with the IL-10(-1082G) allele (IL-10(-1082GG/GA) genotypes) had higher complete remission rate (78% [confidence interval (CI), 71%-85%] versus 65% [CI, 52%-78%], P =.07), 5-year freedom from progression (FFP) (60% [CI, 52%-68%] versus 40% [CI, 27%-53%], P =.013), and overall survival (OS) (63% [CI, 55%-71%] versus 33% [CI, 20%-45%], P =.0009). Among factors of the International Prognostic Index, IL-10(-1082G) allele remained an independent variable, predicting longer freedom from progression (FFP) (RR [relative risk] =.76, P =.00035) and OS (RR =.78, P =.0015). These results indicate that IL-10 production contributes to the clinical course of DLBCL and that this phenomenon involves a substantial genetic component.     

Interleukin-10 Promoter 1082/−819/−592 Polymorphisms are Associated with Asthma Susceptibility in Asians and Atopic Asthma: A Meta-Analysis

Background

Although interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a potent inhibitor of allergic diseases, the association between promoter ?1082/?819/?592 polymorphisms and asthma susceptibility remains inconclusive. We sought to determine if IL-10 promoter ?1082/?819/?592 polymorphisms contribute to asthma susceptibility and are associated with phenotypes of atopic asthma.

Methods

Systematic computerized searches were performed. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated by using random-effect and fixed-effect models, based on between-study heterogeneity. Subgroup analyses were performed according to age, ethnicity, and atopy. Publication bias was detected by funnel plot using Egger’s test.

Results

A total of 4,716 asthmatic patients and 5,093 controls were included. The asthma susceptibility correlated significantly with IL-10 promoter gene ?1082 polymorphism [OR (95 % CI) 1.26 (1.02, 1.55) for AA vs. AG + GG] and ?592 polymorphism [OR (95 % CI) 1.12 (1.07, 1.34) for AC + AA vs. CC] (both P < 0.05), but not with ?819 polymorphism (P > 0.05). Subgroup analyzes suggested that the AA versus AG + GG genotype of ?1082A/G polymorphism and AC + AA versus CC genotype of ?592A/C polymorphism contributed significantly to increased asthma susceptibility in adults [OR (95 % CI) 1.39 (1.03, 1.87) for ?1082A/G and 1.53 (1.25, 1.87) for ?592A/C polymorphism]. The Asian population [OR (95 % CI) 1.35 (1.1, 1.7) for ?1082A/G and 1.4 (1.12, 1.64) for ?592A/C polymorphism] and subjects with atopic asthma [OR (95 % CI) 1.49 (1.18, 1.88) for ?1082A/G and 1.23 (1.01, 1.48) for ?592A/C polymorphism] also had an increased susceptibility of asthma. No publication bias was detected.

Conclusions

IL-10 promoter ?1028A/G, ?592A/C polymorphisms and their haplotypes, but not ?819T/C polymorphism, correlate with asthma susceptibility.     

Prognostic importance of DNA repair gene polymorphisms of <Emphasis Type="Italic">XRCC1</Emphasis> Arg399Gln and <Emphasis Type="Italic">XPD</Emphasis> Lys751Gln in lung cancer patients from India

Purpose Inter individual variation in lung cancer susceptibility may be modulated in part through genetic polymorphisms in the DNA repair genes, especially the genes involved in the Base Excision Repair (BER) and nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. Two of the genetic polymorphisms, XRCC1Arg399Gln and XPD Lys751Gln have been extensively studied in the association with lung cancer risk, although published studies have been inconclusive. Methods In order to verify the role of the common variant alleles in the XPD gene, we have genotyped 211 lung cancer patients and 211 healthy controls using PCR-RFLP assays in a hospital based, case-control study in an Indian population. Logistic regression models were fit to examine the relationship between the log odds of lung cancer and each covariate. Overall Survival in relation to various genotypes and clinicopathological factors were analyzed using Kaplan Meier estimates and hazard ratios were calculated using Cox Regression analysis. Results The carriers of XRCC1 399 AA genotypes were at higher risk of lung cancer (OR = 2.1, 95% CI:1.224–3.669, P = 0.007) than carriers of GG genotype. Subjects carrying 751 AC genotype were at an increased risk of carcinoma of the lung (OR = 1.8; 95% CI:1.233–2.807, P = 0.003) than subjects with AA genotypes. Compared to the XRCC1 399 GG/ XPD 751 AA reference genotype, the combined variants, XRCC1 399 GG/ XPD 751 AC+CC (OR = 1.9, 95% CI: 1.037–3.481), P = 0.03), XRCC1 399 GA+AA/ XPD 751 AA (OR = 1.7, 95% CI: 1.020–2.833, P = 0.04), XRCC1 399 GA+AA/XPD 751 AC+CC (OR = 2.7, 95% CI: 1.582–4.864, P = 0.01), had significantly higher odds ratios. Increasing numbers of either XPD or XRCC1 variant alleles were associated with shorter overall survival, the risk being significant for the XRCC1 gene polymorphism (P = 0.01 by log-rank test). The hazard of dying was significant for the XRCC1 399 AA genotype (HR = 3.04, 95%CI: 1.393–6.670, P = 0.005). Higher tumour stage also came out as significant predictors of patient death. Conclusions These findings suggest that genetic polymorphisms in the DNA repair genes may modulate overall lung cancer susceptibility and that pathological stage and XRCC1 Arg399Gln independently predicted overall survival among Indian lung cancer patients.     

Polymorphisms in cytokine genes influence long-term survival differently in elderly male and female patients

OBJECTIVES: We asked if single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in inflammatory cytokine genes related to 3-year survival in ill elderly subjects and if genotypes differed between the elderly and a younger control population. DESIGN: Prospective observational study. SETTING: Two geriatric departments at a university hospital. SUBJECTS: Eighty three acutely admitted geriatric patients (83 +/- 7 year, 70% women) and 207 young healthy subjects (40 +/- 1 year, 37% women) were included. OUTCOME MEASURES: Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the genes of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha-308 G/A, interleukin (IL)-1beta-511 C/T, IL-6-174 G/C and IL-10-1082 A/G were analysed. In the geriatric patients SNP in lymphotoxin (LT)-alpha +252 G/A and serum levels of TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-10, soluble IL-I receptor(R)II were also determined, as well as the 3-year mortality. RESULTS: The allele distribution did not differ significantly between the elderly and the young. In the female elderly, 3-year survival was doubled (P < 0.05) in those with the high-producing genotypes of IL-6 -174 GG and TNF-alpha -308 GA compared with those with low-producing alleles. In contrast, men with high-producing LT-alpha +252 AA and IL-1beta-511 CT&TT genotypes displayed halved 3-year survival (P < 0.05) compared with those with low-producing genotypes, whereas possession of the high-producing IL-10 -1082 GG genotype favoured survival. Serum IL-10 was higher in the high-producing IL-10 genotype in females. CONCLUSION: As high-producing IL-6 -174 genotype favoured 3-year survival in women, whereas the likewise high-producing LT-alpha +252 and IL-1beta -511 genotypes were associated with poor survival in men, we conclude that the specific genotypes, in association with gender, may act as determinants for survival in elderly patients.

HCV infection in haemodialysed patients: A role for serum IL-10 and TGF-β1 in liver damage?

BACKGROUND: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is often clinically silent in haemodialysed (HD) patients and their immune response may modulate liver damage in HCV infection. IL-10 and TGF-beta1 could play a role in this setting as, IL-10 down-regulates hepatic fibrosis, while TGF-beta1 is a pro-fibrotic cytokine. AIM: To evaluate the role of IL-10 and TGF-beta1 in HD/HCV+ patients. PATIENTS: 71 HD/HCV+ patients (58 with normal [HD/HCV-N] and 13 with high serum transaminases [HD/HCV-H]), 40 non-uremic patients with chronic hepatitis C (HCV+), 56 HD anti-HCV- patients and 20 healthy volunteers (H). METHODS: IL-10 and TGF-beta1 serum levels were assessed using ELISA tests. Liver histology was assessed by Ishak's score. RESULTS: IL-10 serum levels were significantly higher in HD patients, both HCV+ (3.7+/-0.4 pg/ml; p<0.01) and HCV- (3.8+/-0.8 pg/ml; p<0.05) than in non-uremic HCV patients (2.3+/-0.4 pg/ml). Among the HD/HCV+ patients, IL-10 serum levels were similar in HD/HCV-N and in HD/HCV-H patients. Among the HD/HCV+ patients, IL-10 serum levels were similar in those with moderate histological damage compared to those with mild damage. TGF-beta1 serum levels were significantly lower in HD patients, both HCV+ (4.6+/-0.9 ng/ml) and HCV- (6.0+/-0.9 ng/ml) than in non-uremic HCV+ patients (8.1+/-1.1 ng/ml; p<0.001 and p<0.01, respectively), but similar to the values found in H (5.3+/-0.9 ng/ml; p=n.s.). No correlation was seen between IL-10 and TGF-beta1 serum levels in any of the groups considered. CONCLUSIONS: Patients on haemodialysis treatment to have high levels of IL-10, which remain high even when patients are anti-HCV+, whereas the opposite is true of TGF-beta1. The cytokine pattern observed in HD patients is compatible with the hypothesis explaining the relatively benign evolution of HCV-related liver disease in HD patients, and has a pathophysiological role.

Interleukin 10 polymorphisms as predictors of sustained response in antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis C infection

Host genetic factors have been reported to influence the natural history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. We examined whether variation in interleukin 10 (IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) genes would predict the likelihood of sustained response to antiviral therapy. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and microsatellites at two loci encoding the cytokines IL-10 and TNF-alpha were determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based techniques. Their relationship to the outcome of antiviral therapy for chronic HCV infection was studied in 49 white patients who had a virologically sustained response (SR) and in 55 white nonresponders (NR) to a combination of interferon alfa-2b and ribavirin (IFN + R). Several IL-10 variants were more frequent among SRs compared with NRs. Carriage of the -592A or the -819T SNP was associated with SR (odds ratio [OR] = 2.2; P =.016). The -592A/A and the exclusively linked -819T/T genotypes were also associated with SR (OR = 16.6; P =.013 for either). The haplotype consisting of the 108-bp IL-10.R microsatellite and -3575T, -2763C, -1082A, -819T, -592A was also associated with SR (OR = 2.65; P =.01). Stratification for viral genotype, baseline viral RNA concentration, and histologic status identified homozygosity for the haplotype as the principal determinant: all 5 homozygous individuals achieved SR (OR(crude) = 13.7; P =.025; stratified ORs = 1.9-7.0), whereas heterozygotes differed only slightly from wild-type carriers. In contrast, TNF alleles defined by promoter sequences -238G/A and -308G/A were approximately equally distributed among SR and NR. In conclusion, homozygosity for -592A, -819T or the extended haplotype (108bp) - (-2575T) - (-2763C) - (-1082A) - (-819T) - (-592A) is associated with SR to IFN + R.     

IL28B polymorphism may guide pegylated interferon plus ribavirin therapy even after curative treatment for hepatitis C virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma

The present study was designed to determine the predictive factors for the viral response to pegylated interferon-alpha plus ribavirin combination therapy (PEGIFN/RBV) administered after curative treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The study group was 78 patients treated between January 2005 and January 2009. The sustained viral response (SVR) rate was 25.8% (15/58) in patients infected with HCV-genotype 1 and 55.0% (11/20) in those with genotype 2. Among the 78 patients, 32 (41.0%) could not complete the treatment protocol, and this was because of HCC recurrence in 17 (53%) of them. Multivariate analysis identified partial early viral response (pEVR) as the only independent determinant of SVR [odds ratio (OR) 14.73, P = 0.013] for patients with genotype 1. Multivariate analysis identified male gender (OR 8.72, P = 0.001) and interleukin-28B (IL-28B) genotype (rs8099917) TT (OR 7.93, P = 0.007) as independent predictors of pEVR. Multivariate analysis also identified IL-28B genotype GG+TG (OR 14.1, P = 0.021) and α-fetoprotein >30 (OR 5.4, P = 0.031) as independent predictors of null response. Patients with SVR showed a better survival rate than those without SVR (P = 0.034). The second HCC recurrence rate tended to be lower in patients with SVR than in those without SVR (P = 0.054). With regard to the prognosis of patients with SVR, it is desirable to achieve SVR with interferon therapy even when administered after HCC treatment. IL-28B genotype is a potentially useful marker for the response to PEGIFN/RBV therapy administered after curative treatment of HCV-related HCC.

Genetic association between interleukin-10 promoter region polymorphisms and primary Sjögren's syndrome

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the haplotypes formed on the basis of single-base-exchange polymorphisms at positions -1082, -819, or -592 of the interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene predispose subjects to primary Sj?gren's syndrome (SS). METHODS: The frequency of IL-10 polymorphisms was analyzed in 62 patients with primary SS and in 400 healthy subjects. These data were assessed for correlations with the concentration of IL-10 in the plasma. RESULTS: The frequency of the IL-10 GCC haplotype (G at position -1082, C at position -819, and C at position -592 of the IL-10 gene) was increased (P < 0.05, odds ratio [OR] 1.90, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.955-3.62) and the frequency of the ACC haplotype decreased (P < 0.05, OR 0.443, 95% CI 0.257-0.764) in primary SS patients compared with healthy controls. Moreover, the frequency of the ATA haplotype was similar in primary SS patients and healthy controls, but the incidence of the GCC/ATA genotype was elevated in the primary SS patients (P < 0.05, OR 2.19, 95% CI 1.19-4.03). The concentration of plasma IL-10 was significantly higher in patients carrying the GCC haplotype than in non-carriers of GCC. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the presence of the GCC haplotype or the GCC/ATA genotype and the absence of the ACC haplotype of the IL-10 gene are associated with an increased susceptibility to primary SS. This effect is probably mediated by the increased capability to produce IL-10 among carriers of the GCC haplotype.
