Because women with IL-10 (-1082) AA genotype have 3.38-fold increased risk of developing PE according to GG genotype (95% CI 1.21-9.4, P = 0.01), we suggest that IL-10 (-1082) variant A allele is associated with an increased risk of preeclampsia, which is independent from its metabolic effects.
Our results suggest that TNFalpha and IL-10 promoter polymorphism might be a risk factor for AD. The combined effects of TNFalpha-308, IL-6 -174 and IL-10 -1082 variant alleles may be more decisive to induce functional differences and modify the risk for AD.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
