Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The incidence of tuberculosis is high in populations from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Tuberculosis has been shown to have susceptibility gene.
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship between interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) gene polymorphism and susceptibility to bone and joint tuberculosis in Guangxi Zhuang populations.
METHODS: Totally 125 patients with bone and joint tuberculosis admitted in the Affiliated Hospital of Youjiang Medical University for Nationalities and 150 healthy subjects were selected. The gene polymorphism of IL-23R (rs10489628G/A, rs10489629T/C, rs10889675A/C, rs10889677C/T, rs7530511C/A) was analyzed by PCR amplification technique and DNA sequencing method. The genotypes and frequency distribution of alleles were compared between the tuberculosis and control groups. The relationship between IL-23R gene polymorphism and the susceptibility to bone and joint tuberculersis was discussed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The frequency of C allele of IL-23R rs10489629 T/C in the tuberculosis group was 29.2%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (21.3%) (P < 0.05). The frequency of A allele of IL-23R rs10889675 C/A in the tuberculosis group was 26.0%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (18.0%). The frequency of CA genotype of IL-23R rs10889675 C/A in the tuberculosis group was 37.6%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (25.3%) (P < 0.05). The frequency of GTCAC haplotype in the bone and joint tuberculosis group was 69.6% which was lower than that in the control group (77.3%). The frequency of ACACC haplotype in the bone and joint tuberculosis group was 26.0% which was higher than that in control group (17.7%). In summary, the gene polymorphism of IL-23R rs10489629T/C and rs10889675C/A may be related to the susceptibility of bone and joint tuberculosis in Guangxi Zhuang populations.
