Association between cytokine genes polymorphisms and type 1 diabetes: a case-control study on Saudi population

Abstract: Our data concluded that IFN-γ +874T allele, TNF-α -308A allele, IL-1β -511T allele, and IL-4 -590T allele could be considered risk factors for T1D development in Saudi subjects.

“…Moreover, a higher frequency of the rs1800629A allele was found among Australian and United Kingdom T1D patients compared with healthy controls (Kaidonis et al., 2016). By contrast, a study of Saudi patients by Allam et al claimed that the TNF‐α −308A was a risk factor for T1D; however, the authors did not implement the Bonferroni correction test for multiple comparisons to adjust their results (Allam et al., 2018).…”

“…Furthermore, toll‐like receptors (TLRs), a group of proteins fundamental in innate immune responses involved in the pathogenesis of various autoimmune diseases (Kawai & Akira, 2010; Lien & Zipris, 2009), also play a crucial role in T1D (Sun et al., 2014; Xie et al., 2018). Multiple research studies have investigated associations between single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the susceptibility to developing T1D with variable outcomes (Allam et al., 2018; Hollegaard & Bidwell, 2006; Javor et al., 2010).…”

“…Thus, the IFN-␥ response seems not to be essential for insulitis and diabetes development in NOD mice [19]. A case-control study on Saudi subjects investigated the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within cytokine genes such as IFN-␥ and the development of type I diabetes [20].…”
