Analysis of genetic variants in the IL4 promoter and VNTR loci in Indian patients with Visceral Leishmaniasis
چکیده انگلیسی
Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is the most severest form of Leishmaniasis and resistance to infection is mediated by cellular immune responses. Interleukin 4 (IL-4) orchestrates of Th2 and Th1 immune responses during infections. In this study, we aimed to investigate possible association between three functional IL-4 polymorphisms −590C/T (rs2243250), −34C/T (rs2070874) and 70bp VNTR (rs79071878 in intron3) with VL in an Indian cohort comprising of 197 VL patients and 193 healthy controls. The three investigated IL-4 polymorphisms were in strong linkage disequilibrium. The investigated IL-4 alleles, genotypes and the reconstructed haplotypes were not significantly distributed between the VL patients and healthy controls. Our study signifies no possible association of functional IL-4 polymorphisms with Indian VL and postulate other vital genes involved in the IL-4 pathway may provide genetic clues to elucidate of IL-4 regulation and immune-pathogenesis during VL.
