Analysis of IL-10 and IL-6 Gene Polymorphisms and Their Serum Levels in Patients with Brucellosis: A Case Control Study

Abstract

Our study showed that the AA and CC genotypes at positions -1082 and -819 are very important, respectively. These results suggest that IL-10 (-1082 G/A) GG genotype may be considered as a risk factor for brucellosis, while the AG genotype might be a protective factor against the disease.
