Deskripsi
Interleukin-35 (IL-35) exerts crucial roles in the pathogenesis and development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), in this study we aim to explore the associations between IL-35 gene polymorphisms and the susceptibility, clinical features and plasma IL-35 levels of SLE patients, respectively. 490 SLE patients and 489 healthy controls were recruited in our study. The correlations between the polymorphisms of seven SNPs of IL-35 encoding gene and the susceptibility, main clinical manifestations of SLE were evaluated, respectively. Plasma IL-35 levels were assessed in 76 SLE patients, and the associations between plasma IL-35 levels and the polymorphisms of genotyped SNPs were explored. There were significant associations between the polymorphisms of rs4740 and the occurrence of renal disorder, hematological disorder in SLE patients, respectively (<i>p</i> = 0.001; <i>p</i> = 0.001). In addition, there were no significant associations observed between the genotype frequencies of genotyped SNPs and the risk of SLE, plasma IL-35 levels, respectively. The polymorphism of rs4740 of IL-35 encoding gene is associated with the occurrence of renal disorder and hematological disorder of SLE patients.
