Association of Interleukin-10 Polymorphisms (rs1800872, rs1800871, and rs1800896) with Predisposition to IgA Nephropathy in a Chinese Han Population: A Case-Control Study.

Abstract

BACKGROUND/AIMS:

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is a common form of primary glomerulonephritis worldwide. Previous studies indicated that IL-10 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) play an important role in IgAN pathogenesis, but the results were controversy. This study aimed to investigate the association between IL-10 SNPs (rs1800872, rs1800871, and rs1800896) with IgAN in a Chinese Han population.

METHODS:

We conducted a case-control study that included 351 patients with IgAN and 310 age-, gender- and ethnicity-matched healthy controls. Three promoter SNPs (rs1800872, rs1800871, and rs1800896) of IL-10 were genotyped by Sequenom MassARRAY. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to assess the relationship with IgAN.

RESULTS:

We found that the rs1800896 did not correlate with IgAN risk, whereas rs1800872 and rs1800871 were significantly associated with increased IgAN risk in all genetic models. The haplotype analysis indicated that the CCA haplotype was associated with increased IgAN risk (OR = 1.36; 95% CI = 1.05-1.75). Moreover, there were no associations between these SNPs and blood pressure or gender, whereas the rs1800896 variant was correlated with higher 24-hour urine protein in patients with IgAN.

CONCLUSION:

Taken together, these results suggest that IL-10 is a susceptibility gene in patients with IgAN.
