[ 1 ] - IL-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...

[ 2 ] - Serum Interleukin-23 Levels in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis

Background: Patients with ulcerative colitis are at increased risk of inflammation. Interleukin 23 (IL-23) is a newly identified cytokine with increased expression in inflamed biopsies of colon mucosa in patients with Crohn's disease; however, there is inconsistent evidence on its role in ulcerative colitis. Objective: We aimed to compare serum IL-23 level in patients with ulcerative colitis an...

[ 3 ] - The Influence of Immunosuppressive Drugs on Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Production in Relation to VEGF - 1154 G and -2578 C Genotypes

Background: The pathogenesis of many diseases is correlated to irregularity in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression. Results from several association studies show that variation in the level of VEGF expression is related to polymorphic sequences within the VEGF gene. Additionally, there are many studies showing that some gene polymorphisms significantly influence the pharmacokin...
