Abstract
Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in genes encoding cytokines influence tuberculosis (TB) outcomes.
Objectives: To characterise genotypes of the SNPs IFN-gamma +874 T > A, TNF-alpha -308 G > A, IL-6 -174 G > C, IL-10 -1082A > G, TGF-beta codon 10 T > C, and TGF-beta codon 25 G > C in patients with pulmonary (PTB) and extrapulmonary TB (EPTB).
Methods: 82 PTB and 45 EPTB cases were compared, concerning genotype distribution of the mentioned SNPs, characterised via sequence-specific primer polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
Findings: Regarding IFN-gamma +874 T > A, AA genotype was the most frequent in both groups, TA was more frequent in PTB and TT in EPTB, with no statistical significance. For SNP TNF-alpha -308 G > A, GG was more frequent in both groups of patients. Regarding the IL-6 -174 G > C polymorphism, GG predominated in both groups, while CG and GG were significantly more frequent in patients with PTB and EPTB, respectively. Concerning IL-10 -1082 A > G, AA predominated in both PTB and EPTB. Concerning TGF-beta codon 10 T > C, CC predominated in PTB while TC predominated in EPTB, but the differences were not statistically significant. Genotype GG of TGF-beta codon 25 G > C predominated among PTB and EPTB patients.
Main conclusions: Except for IL-6, the genotype profile could not differentiate PTB and EPTB. Hence, the studied SNPs are not significantly associated with the extrapulmonary involvement of TB.
期刊介绍:
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz is a journal specialized in microbes & their vectors causing human infections. This means that we accept manuscripts covering multidisciplinary approaches and findings in the basic aspects of infectious diseases, e.g. basic in research in prokariotes, eukaryotes, and/or virus. Articles must clearly show what is the main question to be answered, the hypothesis raised, and the contribution given by the study.
Priority is given to manuscripts reporting novel mechanisms and general findings concerning the biology of human infectious prokariotes, eukariotes or virus. Papers reporting innovative methods for diagnostics or that advance the basic research with these infectious agents are also welcome.
It is important to mention what we do not publish: veterinary infectious agents research, taxonomic analysis and re-description of species, epidemiological studies or surveys or case reports and data re-analysis. Manuscripts that fall in these cases or that are considered of low priority by the journal editorial board, will be returned to the author(s) for submission to another journal.
