INTRODUCTION: A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the gene encoding gamma interferon influences its production and is associated with severity of infectious diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the association of IFNγ+874T/A SNP with duration of disease, morbidity, and development of retinochoroiditis in acute toxoplasmosis. METHODS: A case-control study was conducted among 30 patients and 90 controls. RESULTS: Although statistical associations were not confirmed, A-allele was more common among retinochoroiditis cases and prolonged illness, while T-allele was more frequent in severe disease. CONCLUSIONS: Despite few cases, the results could indicate a relation between IFNγ+874T/A single nucleotide polymorphism and clinical manifestations of toxoplasmosis.

Background: Multiple sclerosis is a presumed autoimmune disease associated with genetic and environmental risk factors such as infectious mononucleosis. Recent research has shown infectious mononucleosis to be associated with a specific HLA class I polymorphism. Objectives: Our aim was to test if the infectious mononucleosis-linked HLA class I single nucleotide polymorphism (rs6457110) is also associated with multiple sclerosis. Methods: Genotyping of the HLA-A single nucleotide polymorphism rs6457110 using TaqMan was performed in 591 multiple sclerosis cases and 600 controls. The association of multiple sclerosis with the HLA-A single nucleotide polymorphism was tested using logistic regression adjusted for age, sex and HLA-DRB1*1501. Results: HLA-A minor allele (A) is associated with multiple sclerosis (OR = 0.68; p = 4.08 × 10 -5). After stratification for HLA-DRB1*1501 risk allele (T) carrier we showed a significant OR of 0.70 ( p = 0.003) for HLA-A. Conclusions: HLA class I single nucleotide polymorphism rs6457110 is associated with infectious mononucleosis and multiple sclerosis, independent of the major class II allele, supporting the hypothesis that shared genetics may contribute to the association between infectious mononucleosis and multiple sclerosis.

Background: Association of the HLA-DRB1*1501 allele with multiple sclerosis is well established, but its association with neuromyelitis optica has only been evaluated in small populations. Methods: We performed a case-control genetic association study to evaluate the association of HLA-DRB1*1501 with neuromyelitis optica. The single nucleotide polymorphism rs3135388, which tags HLA-DRB1*1501, was genotyped in 164 patients with neuromyelitis optica, 220 patients with multiple sclerosis and 959 controls matched for age, gender and ethnicity. Genotyping for rs3135388 was performed by Taqman-based 5' nuclease assay. Results: Rs3135388*A was positively associated with multiple sclerosis (OR = 3.93; 95% CI = 2.58—5.97, p = 1.18 × 10-09) but negatively associated with NMO (OR = 0.57; 95% CI = 0.36—0.91, p = 0.01). Conclusions: Multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica differ in their associations with DRB1*1501.

The allele C in the CD24 gene has been related to multiple sclerosis (MS). In this work we check this single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in a population of 135 patients and 285 controls. Our results confirm the association between the V/V genotype at aa 57 of this gene and MS and highlight the importance of taking into account the origin of the subjects to avoid a population bias.

AbstractObjectiveThe aim of this meta-analysis was to undertake a meta-analysis to evaluate the correlation between cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) gene rs221775 A>G single nucleotide polymorphism and the susceptibility of multiple sclerosis (MS) susceptibility.MethodPublished manuscripts about CTLA-4 gene rs221775A>G single nucleotide polymorphism and multiple sclerosis susceptibility were searched in the computerized bibliographic searches of Pubmed Embase and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). Potential studies were screened and data for 5025 MS patients and 4706 controls from 20 publications were included. The association between CTLA-4 gene rs221775A>G single nucleotide polymorphism and multiple sclerosis susceptibility were demonstrated by odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI).ResultsThe pooled results showed no significant association between CTLA-4 gene rs221775A>G single nucleotide polymorphism and multiple sclerosis susceptibility for dominant genetic model [OR=1.02, 95%CI:0.90~1.05, (P=0.80)], homozygous genetic model [OR=0.85,95%CI:0.71 ~1.03,(P=0.10)] and recessive genetic model [OR=0.99,95% CI:0.89~1.10,(P=0.90)].ConclusionWith current evidence, CTLA-4 gene rs221775A>G single nucleotide polymorphism had no association with the susceptibility of multiple sclerosis
