Recurrent and disseminated pityriasis versicolor (RDPV) is a common clinical entity, characterized by its recurrent and disfiguring nature. Studies demonstrated host genetic variations in the immune response, especially the role of IL-17 in antifungal immunity. This study aimed to detect whether IL-17A and F gene polymorphisms are found in cases of RDPV. It included 100 cases of RDPV and 100 age and sex matched controls, from which EDTA blood samples were taken for single-nucleotide polymorphism analysis. IL-17A (rs2275913) and F (rs763780) were associated with a significantly increased incidence of developing RDPV. IL-17A and F gene polymorphism could be implicated as a risk factor for the development of RDPV.
复发性和播散性花斑癣(RDPV)是一种常见的临床实体,其特征为复发性和毁容性。研究表明,宿主的免疫反应存在遗传变异,特别是白细胞介素-17(IL-17)在抗真菌免疫中的作用。本研究旨在检测 IL-17A 和 F 基因多态性是否存在于 RDPV 病例中。研究纳入了 100 例 RDPV 患者和 100 例年龄和性别匹配的对照组,采集 EDTA 血样进行单核苷酸多态性分析。IL-17A(rs2275913)和 F(rs763780)与 RDPV 的发生显著相关。IL-17A 和 F 基因多态性可能是 RDPV 发病的危险因素。
