Single nucleotide polymorphism rs 2070874 at Interleukin-4 is associated with increased risk of type 1 diabetes mellitus independently of human leukocyte antigens

Abstract: Introduction Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is characterized by autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta (β-) cells. Previous studies suggested an imbalance between and pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines exacerbates T1DM development. Objectives We aimed to test the hypothesis that patients with T1DM carry a higher frequency of regulatory genes associated with low levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-4 (IL-4), its receptor (IL-4R), and interleukin-10 (IL-10). Methods Accor… Show more

“…As previously reported, SNPs in the proinflammatory cytokine genes IL-1β and IFN-γ are associated with susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis [ 76 ]. SNPs in interleukin IL-12β is associated with susceptibility to inflammatory bowel diseases [ 77 ], and SNPs in anti-inflammatory IL-4 / IL-4R is associated with susceptibility to type I diabetes mellitus [ 78 ].…”
