ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To identify the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the regulatory and coding regions of human interleukin-1 receptor type I (IL-1R1) gene and to assess their potential effect on the function of IL-1R1.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The 5' flank region, exons, parts of the introns, as well as 3' flank region of IL-1R1 gene were sequenced to identify and characterize the SNPs in Chinese population. Effects of the SNP on the structure and function of IL-1R1 were analyzed by computational methods.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Sixteen SNPs were identified through a 9643 bp sequencing of IL-1R1 gene. Among them, four were in 5' flank region, four in intron region, one in coding region, and seven in 3' untranslated region. A novel SNP in Chinese population was involved in a structural change in IL-1R1, which may influence the signal transduction of IL-1R1.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The SNP in the IL-1R1 gene might influence its function as an important receptor of IL-1 family.</p>
