Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is an anti-inflammatory cytokine. Its production in humans is under genetic control, and genotype defines high or low producers of this cytokine. This study addresses the hypothesis that idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients are more likely to have the low IL-10 producer genotype and phenotype. DNA was extracted from blood cells of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) or with ulcerative colitis (UC) for IL-10 genotyping. The frequency of the high IL-10 producer allele (-1082*G) was decreased in the whole IBD group (41% vs. 51%, P = 0.03) and in the UC patients compared with normal controls (37% vs. 51%; P = 0.04). Hence, there appears to be an association between the IL-10 genotypes and IBD. This suggests that individuals genetically predisposed to produce less IL-10 are at a higher risk of developing IBD, in particular, UC.
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic
(which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments.
It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions.
The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager
like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
