We examined single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IL18 and IL18/R1 genes and knee OA. IL18 rs1946518 wild-type allele was more frequently observed in cases (P = 0.04). Haplotype 1 was more frequently observed in cases (P = 0.04). Genetic variation in the promoter region of IL18, but not IL18R1, may be associated with OA.
我们研究了 IL18 和 IL18/R1 基因中的单核苷酸多态性(SNPs)与膝骨关节炎(OA)的关系。IL18 rs1946518 野生型等位基因在病例中更为常见(P = 0.04)。单体型 1 在病例中更为常见(P = 0.04)。IL18 启动子区域的遗传变异,但不是 IL18R1,可能与 OA 相关。
