Differential combination of cytokine and interferon- γ +874 T/A polymorphisms determines disease severity in pulmonary tuberculosis.
<h4>Background</h4>Mycobacterium tuberculosis infects nearly 1/3 of the world population and this reservoir forms the largest pool from which new cases arise. Among the cytokines, IFN-γ is a key determinant in protection against tuberculosis. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IFN...

Among the cytokines, IFN-γ is a key determinant in protection against tuberculosis. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IFN-γ gene (+874 T/A) which determine TT high ((hi)), AA low ((lo)) and TA intermediate ((int)) responder phenotypes have shown variable associations with tuberculosis disease outcome in different ethnic populations.

Genotype analysis was carried out using amplification refractory mutation system-PCR (ARMS-PCR). IFN-γ gene (+874 T/A) functional SNP combinations in TNFα (-308 G/A), IL-10 (-1082 A/G) and IL-6 (-174 G/C) were analyzed. Single gene analysis (Pearson χ²) showed a dominant association of IFN-γ TT (hi) genotype (p = 0.001) and T allele (p = 0.001) with mild disease.

IFN-γ(hi) -IL-6(hi) combination was associated with mild disease (p = 0.0005) while IFN-γ(lo) -IL-6(int) was associated with protection against both forms of pulmonary disease (p = 0.002).<h4>Conclusion</h4>Our results show that a limited number of IFN-γ gene combinations with other cytokine functional SNPs determine the outcome of disease severity in tuberculosis.Ambreen AnsariZahra HasanGhaffar DawoodRabia HussainPublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 6, Iss 11, p e27848 (2011) |

<h4>Background</h4>Mycobacterium tuberculosis infects nearly 1/3 of the world population and this reservoir forms the largest pool from which new cases arise.
