ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the possible association of interleukin-23 receptor(IL-23R) polymorphisms with the susceptibility and phenotype of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) in Jiangsu Han population.MethodsWe genotyped 178 IBD patients including 135 patients with ulcerative colitis ( UC),43 patients with Crohn's disease (CD),and 134 headthy controls for rs11805303,rs1343151,rs11465804,rs11209032,rs17375018,rs11465788.ResultsComparing with the controls (50.4% ),there was a significant increase in the carriage of the T allele of rs11805303 in UC (60.4%) ( P =0.020).In genotypephenotype correlation of rs17375018 in UC,clinical severity(UCDAI) was associated with the prevalence of the G allele showed a trend to mild activity.Genotype polymorphisms of rs17375018A was observed more in younger than 25 in the genotype-phenotype correlation in CD(41.7% vs 22.0%,P =0.050,OR =2.532,95% CI 0.988-6.494),while rs11805303 was associated with age at diagnose and disease lesion (P =O.039 and 0.044).The risk of extra intestinal manifestation in rs17375018A allele carriers was lower (23.1% vs46.7%,P=0.040,OR =2.917,95%CI 1.027-8.283).ConclusionsWe confirmed the susceptibility of rs11805303polymorphisms with UC and first demonstrated the genotype-phenot correlation of rs11805303,rs17375018 with UC,CD in Jiangsu Han population.
