In conclusion, an IL-1β+3954C/T polymorphism was determined to be related to susceptibility to RAS, and individuals with the G allele and GG genotype of IL-6-174 or the A allele of IL-10-592 or the G allele of IL-10-1082 appeared to be more vulnerable to developing RAS.
A meta-analysis was conducted using Revman 5.3 software (London, UK), and the pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were then used to evaluate the strength of the relationship between the gene polymorphisms of IL-1beta(-511C/T), IL-1beta(+3954C/T), IL-6(-174G/C) and IL-10(-1082G/A) and the risk of RAS.
An odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was applied to assess the association of the IL-6-174 G/C and IL10-1082 G/A polymorphisms with RAS susceptibility.
In conclusion, IL-1 and IL-6 or its receptor gene variants cannot be used as markers for identification of Czech patients with increased risk of recurrent aphthous stomatitis.
RAS patients with H. pylori gastritis showed a higher frequency (51.9%) of GC IL-6 genotype than RAS patients without H. pylori gastritis (11.1%) (p=0.036).
The purpose of the present study was to investigate if the IL-6 gene polymorphisms are associated with RAS or clinical characteristics of RAS in a cohort of Turkish population.
The purpose of the present study was to investigate, using binary logistic regression analyses, a possible association between the functional IL-1beta +3954 (C/T), IL-6 -174 (G/C), IL-10 -1082 (G/A) and TNF-alpha -308 (G/A) genetic polymorphism and RAS in a sample of Brazilian patients, using a multivariate statistical analysis.
