IL28B gene polymorphisms and Th1/Th2 cytokine levels might be associated with HTLV-associated arthropathy
•Association between HTLV-associated arthropathy (HAA) and IL28B gene was investigated.•Individuals with HAA exhibited low IL-6 and high IL-10 levels.•Genotype TT might be a risk factor for proviral load and CD8+ T cell count.•Genotypes CC and TT seem to be associated with increased TNF-β and IFN-γ...

Zusammenfassung: | •Association between HTLV-associated arthropathy (HAA) and IL28B gene was investigated.•Individuals with HAA exhibited low IL-6 and high IL-10 levels.•Genotype TT might be a risk factor for proviral load and CD8+ T cell count.•Genotypes CC and TT seem to be associated with increased TNF-β and IFN-γ levels.
The present study is the first investigation of the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs – rs8099917, rs12979860 and rs8103142) of the IL28B gene and the development of human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV)-associated arthropathy (HAA). Individuals with HAA exhibited low interleukin (IL) 6 (p |
