Interleukin-17A rs2275913, Interleukin-17F rs763780 and rs2397084 gene polymorphisms as possible risk factors in Juvenile lupus and lupus related nephritis.

AbstractThere are no reports about the association of interleukin (IL)-17A and IL-17F gene polymorphism and susceptibility to pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus (pSLE). Objective: To examine the possible role of IL-17A rs2275913, IL-17F rs763780 and rs2397084 polymorphisms as risk factors for pSLE in a cohort of Egyptian children and to investigate their association with the clinico-pathological features including lupus nephritis (LN). Methods: Typing of IL-17A and IL-17F polymorphisms was done using restriction fragment length polymorphism for 115 children with SLE and 259 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Results: No significant differences were found between pSLE patients and healthy controls for the allele and genotype frequencies of IL-17A rs2275913, IL-17F rs763780 and rs2397084 (p > 0.05). However, the combined genotype GGAGAA and the haplotype GGA had significant association with pSLE (pc = 0.042 and <0.001, respectively). The AA genotype of IL-17F rs763780 is more frequent in female pati...
