Association of genetic polymorphisms of CISH with the risk of pulmonary tuberculosis in Zahedan, Southeast Iran.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In the current study we aimed to find out the impact of cytokine-inducible Src homology 2 domain protein (CISH) gene polymorphisms on the risk of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in a sample of Iranian population.

Materials and methods

Polymorphisms of CISH rs2239751, rs414171, and rs6768300 were determined in 200 PTB patients and 200 healthy subjects using T-ARMS-PCR or PCR-RFLP method.

Results

The results showed that rs414171 A>T genotypes significantly decreased the risk of PTB (OR=0.16, 95% CI=0.10-0.27, p<0.0001, AT vs AA; OR=0.31, 95% CI=0.14-0.68, p<0.0001, TT vs AA; OR=0.19, 95% CI=0.12-0.29, p<0.0001, AT+TT vs AA; OR=0.29, 95%CI=0.20-0.42, p<0.0001, T vs A). For rs6768300, the findings indicated that this variant decreased the risk of PTB (OR=0.52, 95%
