IL18RAP polymorphisms and its plasma levels in patients with Lumbar disc degeneration
2019
Overview
•Interleukin 18 Receptor Accessory Protein (IL18RAP) plays a role in lumbar disc degeneration.•Genotyping of two IL18RAP polymorphisms (rs1420106 and rs917997) and IL18RAP plasma levels was studied in LDD patients.•CT genotype of rs917997 was associated with lower risk of LDD in women.
Lumbar disc degeneration (LDD) is a common musculoskeletal disorder. Interleukin 18 Receptor Accessory Protein (IL18RAP) gene is involved in disc degeneration and inflammatory processes like matrix degeneration. Hence, this study was performed to understand the role of 2 IL18RAP (rs1420106 and rs917997) polymorphisms and IL18RAP plasma levels in lumbar disc degeneration (LDD) in Indian population.
200 LDD patients and 200 healthy controls were recruited for the study. Genotyping was performed using allelic discrimination assay. IL18RAP levels were measured by ELISA.
rs1420106 polymorphism did not follow Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, so it was not considered for association analysis. There was a significant association among females in CT genotype of rs917997 in LDD (p = 0.041). Also, among subjects with no history of alcohol consumption, CT allele was found to be significantly associated and had a protective effect (OR = 0.61). The plasma levels of IL18RAP were also measured. There was no significant difference in IL18RAP levels between patients and controls.
Overall, rs917997 polymorphism did not show any significant difference between patients and controls (p = 0.77). However, it showed a protective role in females and patients with no history of alcohol consumption in Indian population and there was no association between polymorphisms and IL18RAP plasma levels.
