Interleukin-10 gene polymorphism (−1082G/A) and allergy to efavirenz in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus

Abstract: The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between polymorphism in the interleukin-10 gene promoter at position -1082 in human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients who had presented allergic reaction due to efavirenz. The study included 63 patients treated at the Hospital São José de Doenças Infecciosas, Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. Twenty-one patients who had presented allergic reaction to efavirenz were compared to 42 patients with no allergic reaction following exposure to this drug. B… Show more

“…We have observed in a previous report that the -1082 AA genotype was much more frequent in HIV-positive patients allergic to efavirenz than in nonallergic patients (P = .019; OR = 3.625; 95%CI = 1.210 to 10.860). 31 Comparing our present work with previous reports, one can hypothesize that low production of IL-10 is a risk factor for drug allergy but a protection against nonallergic hypersensitivity.…”

“…In our previous study (12), we found a significant association between IL10 polymorphism ( 1082 G > A) and efavirenz hypersensitivity reaction. Thus, our goal here was to evaluate polymorphisms in IL10 592 C A, IL4 589 C T, IFNG 874 A T, and CTLA4 49 A G genes in the same HIV-positive patients with efavirenz hypersensitivity reaction and in control patients, as evaluated before (12).…”

“…Our group has previously investigated IL10 ( 1082 G A) gene polymorphism in efavirenz hypersensitivity reaction (12). The frequencies of the 1082AA genotype and of the 1082A allele were higher in the case group than in controls (12).…”

“…During HIV infection, AA was detected in 62% of allergic patients, while GG and GAin 69% of patients without allergies. Moreover, it was found that the polymorphism of interleukin -10 in position -1082 (A/G) is directly related to the development of allergic reactions to efavirenz [62].…”
