IL-4 rs2243250 and IL-18 rs1946519 have a positive correlation with brucellosis whereas the IFN-γ UTR5644, TGF-β rs1800470 and rs1800471, TNF-α rs1800629, and IL-10 rs1800872 showed a negative association with this disease.
To determine the role of IL-18 gene in thyroid cancer susceptibility, we conducted a case-control study, and genotyped five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IL-18 gene (-656 G/T (rs1946519), -607 C/A (rs1946518), and -137 G/C (rs187238) in the promoter region and +113 T/G (rs360718) and +127 C/T (rs360717) in 5'-untranslated region) in 105 patients with thyroid cancer and 148 healthy controls from Iranian population.
