LETTER TO JMG TNFa and IL10 SNPs act together to predict disease behaviour in Crohn’s disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: The cytokines tumour necrosis factor (TNF)a and interleukin (IL)10 have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Crohn’s disease (CD), with increased concentrations reported in patients with active disease. However, limited data exist on their effects on disease phenotype in the same population. Certain single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the promoter region of the IL10 (-1082G/A, -592C/ A) and TNFa (-308G/A, -857C/T) genes have been associated with altered levels of circulating IL10 and TNFa. Methods: We conducted an Australian based case–control study (304 CD patients; 231 healthy controls) of these four SNPs. Further investigation of two SNPs was conducted using a logistic regression analysis. Results: We identified a possible association of both IL10 SNPs and TNFa-857 with CD. Further investigation of a relationship with disease severity showed a significant association of higher producing IL10-1082G and TNFa857C alleles with stricturing behaviour, which was strongest when these alleles were combined and persisted after multivariate analysis (p = 0.007; odds ratio (OR) 2.37, 95% CI 1.26 to 4.43). In addition, the TNFa-857CC genotype was independently associated with familial CD (p = 0.03; OR 3.12; 95% CI 1.15 to 8.46). Conclusion: These two SNPs may help to predict disease behaviour in CD patients, which may be clinically useful in shaping treatment of the disease at an earlier stage.

Isolated cutaneous Crohn’s disease: A case report
This case report describes a patient with cutaneous signs in the genital and peri-anal region suspicious of Crohn’s disease without any intestinal symptom or sign. Inflammatory bowel disease can be associated with some cutaneous signs. However, in this paper, we report a patient with isolated cutaneous Crohn’s disease which is very rare (less than 100 case reports across the world). Our patient...
متن کاملIL-23 Receptor Gene rs7517847 and rs1004819 SNPs in Ulcerative Colitis
Background: Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are two major clinical presentations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Many novel candidate genes have been found to be associated with increased risk for IBD. Recently IL-23 receptor gene is identified as an IBD associated gene in genome-wide studies. Objective: To ascertain whether rs7517847 and rs1004819 SNPs in the IL-23 recept...

METHODS: Genotyping for -1082A/G IL10 (rs1800896) and 308G/A TNFA (rs1800629) polymorphisms were performed using allele specific PCR and restriction fragment l...
متن کاملPachydermoperiostosis in a Patient with Crohn’s Disease: Treatment and Literature Review
Pachydermoperiostosis (PDP) is a rare disorder characterized by pachydermia, digital clubbing, periostitis, and an excess of affected males. It is the primary form of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) and there are some rare associations of PDP with other disorders. Here we describe a patient with Crohn’s disease associated with PDP. A 26-year-old man, who was a known case of Crohn’s disease,...
