Interleukin-10 (IL-10) signaling has been suggested to play a role in systemic sclerosis (SSc). IL10RB codes for IL-10 receptor 2 (IL-10R2), a component shared in receptor complexes for IL-10, IL-22, IL-26 and interferon (IFN)-lambda. In this study, we examined association of IL10RB polymorphism with susceptibility to SSc. Genotype A/A at rs2834167 (47K/K) was significantly increased in diffuse cutaneous SSc...
