Meta-Analysis of the Relation Between IL10 Promoter Polymorphisms and Autoimmune Liver Disease Risk.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Single nucleotide polymorphisms of the IL10 gene have been linked to the occurrence of autoimmune liver disease. METHODS: We performed a meta-analysis to assess the association between three IL10 promoter polymorphisms (rs1800896, rs1800871, and rs1800872) and the risk of autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cholangitis, and primary sclerosing cholangitis. RESULTS: In total, 1420 articles were...
