Association of genetic polymorphisms in interferon-?, interleukin-6 and transforming growth factor-?1 gene with oral lichen planus susceptibility.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a premalignant mucocutaneous disease in which genetic factors and immune responses play a major role. Cytokines play an important role in the pathogenesis and disease progression of OLP. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of gene polymorphisms of T helper cell subtype Th1 and Th2 cytokines, interferon-gamma (IFN-?), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and transforming growth factor (TGF)-?1 on OLP susceptibility in a Saudi cohort. METHODS:Forty two unrelated patients with OLP and 195 healthy controls were genotyped for IFN-? (874A/T), IL-6 (174G/C) and TGF-?1 (509C/T) polymorphisms. RESULTS:The frequency of genotype AT of IFN-? (874A/T) was significantly higher while genotype AA was lower in OLP patients as compared to controls (P?
