Abstract
Within the analyzed cohort of Polish pregnant women, the genetic modifications from SNPs of genes, encoding both the proinflammatory IL1α, IL1β, IL6, IL12 and TNF-α, and anti-inflammatory IL10 cytokines, may have been associated with susceptibility to T. gondii infection. It is the first study on the contribution of cytokine genes polymorphisms to the occurrence of T. gondii infection during pregnancy. Further studies for other populations of pregnant women would be justified to reveal a detailed role of the analyzed polymorphisms for the occurrence of T. gondii infections during pregnancy.
