This research addresses IL-28B gene polymorphisms (rs12979860 and rs8099917) to determine their association with HTLV-1-related diseases; it aims to compare genotypic frequencies to identify predisposition or protection, considering population, disease, and controls. Given HTLV-1’s impact on immunity, this study seeks biomarkers for early diagnosis and intervention. A systematic search met inclusion criteria, such as open access bibliographic and experimental studies published in English between…

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among allogeneic stem cell transplant (allo-SCT) recipients especially in pediatric leukemia patients. IFN-λ family: interleukin (IL)-28A, -28B, and -29 and IFN-λ4. All have antiviral properties similar to IFN-α. In vivo, IFN-λs are mostly secreted by dendritic cells (DC) and macrophages. IL-28B signals through a heterodimeric receptor consisting of IL-28R1 chains and IL-10Rβ, hence inducing an antiviral state. It has b…

Background and objective The allelic discrimination of IFNL3-(rs12979860 C > T) polymorphism reveals ambiguous associations with the effectiveness of oral HCV treatment. Solitary intra peripheral-blood-mononuclear-cells (PBMCs) HCV-RNA antisense-strands are independently detected in naïve and experienced cases regardless of viremia or hepatic-parenchymal alterations. We examined the frequencies of IFNL3-genetic variants with chronic-HCV-induced liver changes during the sustained virologic respon…

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is the last phase of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), which are a collection of pulmonary illnesses marked by parenchymal remodeling and scarring. Treatment can only halt the functional decline of the lung, raising the necessity of identifying the basic processes implicated in lung fibrogenesis. The Interferon lambda-3 (IFNL3) gene variant, rs12979860, was determined to be related to an elevated risk of fibrosis in different organs, but the mechanism through which it me…

Human interferon-λ4 is a cytokine involved in early stages of antiviral responses. Strikingly, some allelic variants with diminished antiviral activity reduce the susceptibility to viral infections, thus they would have suffered a positive selection pressure throughout the evolutionary history of the genus Homo. An intronic variant within the IFNλ4 locus (rs12979860, T˃C) emerged as one of the main gene determinants of the response to HCV and other viruses. The rs12979860-C allele has a differen…

BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer in the world. The association of interleukin 28B (IL-28B) polymorphisms and HCC has been investigated in several populations. However, the findings are controversial. This study aimed to address the association between IL-28B polymorphisms (rs 8099917 T/G, rs12979860 C/T, rs12980275 A/G) and the risk of HCC in an Iranian population. METHODS: We have evaluated the association between IL-28B polymorphisms (rs 8099917 T/G, r…

Introduction: The natural course of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection is influenced by a number of host and viral variables. Interleukin 28B (IL28B) is a kind of interleukin. A Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) designated as rs12979860 was reported to predict viral clearance with and without treatment. Subjects with the GG (favourable) IL28B rs12979860 genotype were more likely to clear the infection spontaneously and respond well to therapy. These findings imply that people who have the “fav…

BACKGROUND Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a public health concern worldwide. Several factors, including genetic polymorphisms, may be evolved in the progression of HCV infection to liver diseases. Interferon lambdas (IFNLs) modulate the immune response during viral infections. IFNLs induce antiviral activity, interfering in the viral replication by promoting the expression of several genes that regulate immunological functions. The interferon lambda-4 (IFNL4) rs12979860 polymorphism, which…

Background Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a relatively rare chronic liver disease of unknown etiology. The genetic background affects susceptibility, clinical phenotype, and prognosis. The programmed cell death-1 rs11568821 polymorphism (PD1.3) has been associated with susceptibility to autoimmune diseases. The interleukin-28B (IL28B) rs12979860 polymorphism has been associated with steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis in liver diseases. Aim Our aim was to investigate for the first time the inci…

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with a complex etiology. Various genetic factors are associated with susceptibility to developing SLE and contribute to its onset and progression. Different single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with SLE in several populations. The rs12979860 SNP in interferon lambda 3/4 (IFNλ3/4) is significantly associated with SLE susceptibility in patients negative for nephritis in Taiwanese people, and interferon-stimulated ge…
