Abstract | ||
This study investigated whether interleukin- 10 (IL-10) gene promoter region polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility or clinical presentation of type 1 diabetes. The frequency of -1082G/A and -819C/T, polymorphisms was analyzed in 60 Egyptian patients with type 1 diabetes and in 60 healthy control subjects in a case-controlled study. However, the -819C/T not showed significance between patient and control (P=0.208) and 1082G/A were associated with T1DM disease (P<0.0001). These results suggest that the IL-10 gene promoter polymorphisms are associated with type 1 diabetes in Egyptian population. | ||
