- Abstract
- The aim of this study was to determine whether interleukin-10 (IL-10) polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to Behcet's disease (BD). A meta-analysis was conducted, examining the associations between the IL-10 - 1082 G/A, - 819 C/T, and - 592 C/A polymorphisms and BD in various ethnic groups. Fourteen studies involving 5992 patients and 8966 controls were considered in the meta-analysis. Meta-analysis of the IL-10 - 1082 G/A polymorphism showed no association between BD and the - 1082 G allele (odds ratio (OR) = 0.951, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.790-1.146, p = 0.601). Meta-analysis of the IL-10 - 819 C/T polymorphism revealed a significant association between BD and the - 819 C allele (OR = 0.751, 95% CI = 0.684-0.825, p < 0.001) in all study subjects. Stratification by ethnicity indicated a significant association between the - 819 C allele and BD in Turkish (OR = 0.779, 95% CI = 0.709-0.856, p < 0.001) and Asian (OR = 0.676, 95% CI = 0.631-0.725, p < 0.001), but not in Middle Eastern populations. Meta-analysis of the - 592 C allele showed an association with BD in all study subjects (OR = 0.792, 95% CI = 0.662-0.948, p = 0.011) Stratification by ethnicity indicated a significant association between the - 592 C allele and BD in Asian populations (OR = 0.656, 95% CI = 0.512-0.841, p = 0.001). This meta-analysis showed that the IL-10 - 819 C/T and - 592 C/A polymorphisms are associated with BD susceptibility, especially in Asian population.
