Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To assess the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) gene with susceptibility to psoriasis.
METHODS:Two hundred and ten psoriasis patients admitted to Xinxiang Central Hospital from January 2019 to December 2024 were selected as the study group, and 210 healthy individuals undergoing physical examination during the same period were selected as the control group. 3 mL of peripheral venous blood sample was collected from each individual from the two groups, and PCR-Restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay was used to determine the polymorphisms of the IL-23R gene at rs2201841, rs1004819, rs10889677, rs1343151 and rs1495965 loci. Genotypic and allelic distribution of each SNP locus was calculated to assess the association between SNPs of the IL-23R gene with the onset of psoriasis, and the difference in serum IL-23 levels among patients with different genotypes at each locus was compared. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Xinxiang Central Hospital (Ethic No. 2024-749).
RESULTS:The results showed that the frequency of CC genotype at rs1004819 locus of the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group (26.19% vs. 18.10%, P < 0.05), and the frequency of C allele was also significantly higher than that of the control group (54.05% vs. 42.62%, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in allelic and genotypic frequencies between the two groups at rs2201841, rs10889677, rs1343151, and rs1495965 loci (P > 0.05). The dominant and recessive inheritance patterns at the rs1004819 locus are associated with susceptibility to psoriasis (P < 0.05), while the different inheritance patterns at rs2201841, rs10889677, rs1343151, and rs1495965 loci are not associated with psoriasis (P > 0.05). The serum IL-23 levels of patients with CC genotype at the rs1004819 locus were higher than those with the CT and TT genotypes (P < 0.05). No significant difference was detected in the serum levels of IL-23 between patients with different genotypes for the rs2201841, rs10889677, rs1343151, and rs1495965 loci (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSION:The polymorphism at the rs1004819 locus of the IL-23R gene is associated with susceptibility to psoriasis, and individuals carrying the CC genotype and C allele have a higher risk of developing the disease.
