Abstract
Genetic predisposition to tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is rather poorly studied in human populations. Human genes encoding crucial components of antiviral immune response are most likely involved in protective mechanisms against TBE virus. Previously, several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in interleukin 28B (IL28B) and interleukin 10 (IL10) genes were associated with predisposition to chronic hepatitis C (caused by a structurally similar virus from the same Flaviviridae family) in a number of human populations. The aim of the present study was to estimate a possible association of the IL28B gene rs8103142 and rs12980275 SNPs and IL10 gene rs1800872, rs3021094, and rs3024498 SNPs with predisposition to TBE in a Russian population. Genotypic and allelic frequencies for these SNPs were analyzed in 132 non-immunized TBE patients (34 with fever, 60 with meningitis, and 38 with severe central nervous system disease) and compared with the population control (221 Novosibirsk citizens). The results obtained suggest that both studied IL28B gene SNPs, as well as the IL10 gene rs1800872 SNP are associated with predisposition to TBE in Russian population.
期刊介绍:
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases is an international, peer-reviewed scientific journal. It publishes original research papers, short communications, state-of-the-art mini-reviews, letters to the editor, clinical-case studies, announcements of pertinent international meetings, and editorials.
The journal covers a broad spectrum and brings together various disciplines, for example, zoology, microbiology, molecular biology, genetics, mathematical modelling, veterinary and human medicine. Multidisciplinary approaches and the use of conventional and novel methods/methodologies (in the field and in the laboratory) are crucial for deeper understanding of the natural processes and human behaviour/activities that result in human or animal diseases and in economic effects of ticks and tick-borne pathogens. Such understanding is essential for management of tick populations and tick-borne diseases in an effective and environmentally acceptable manner.
