Abstract

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is an infectious disease caused by an intracellular protozoan belonging to Leishmania species. Interleukin (IL)-22 plays an important role in inflammatory response, chemotaxis, regulation of cellular proliferation and tissue repair. Considering the role of IL-22 in control of leishmaniasis and the effect of its single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on respective function and production, this study aimed to investigate the probable association of IL-22 SNPs with VL. The study was carried out on 110 patients with VL, 102 healthy individuals with negative leishmanin skin test (negative control group (NCG)), and 144 healthy individuals with positive leishmanin skin test (LSTPG). Four SNPs in IL-22 including rs2227501, rs2227503, rs2227513 and rs1026786 were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restricted fragment length polymorphism (PCR- RFLP) in the study groups. The frequency of A allele and AA genotype at rs1026786 were significantly higher in the LSTPG group than in the patients (P = 0.013 and P = 0.001, respectively). Conversely, the frequency of AG genotype was significantly higher in the patients and the NCG than in the LSTPG group (P = 0.0001 and P = 0.002, respectively). For rs2227503, the fr...Continue Reading
