ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the relationship between polymorphisms of interleukin 17(IL-17) gene (rs4711998, rs763780) and the susceptibility of pneumoconiosis, and to provide a basis for prevention of high-risk groups of pneumoconiosis.@*Methods@#A total of 219 pneumoconiosis patients and 242 workers without pneumoconiosis were enrolled in the study. All subjects were photographed with high undulating X-rays anterior chest radiographs, diagnosed according to diagnostic criteria for pneumoconiosis. We collected 3 ml of peripheral venous blood of the study subjects. Polymorphism in IL-17A rs4711998 and IL-17F rs763780 locus were evaluated by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).@*Results@#The IL-17A rs4711998 locus has AA, AG and GG genotypes, there was no the significant difference between case and control groups (P>0.05). IL-17F rs763780 had AA, AG and GG genotypes, there was a significant difference between case and control groups (P<0.05). Allele A and allele G were statistically significant difference between the case group and the control group (P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#No relationship was found between IL-17A gene polymorphisms at rs4711998 and silicosis. IL-17F rs763780 locus gene polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to pneumoconiosis. AG genotype and G allele may have a protective effect.
