    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Interleukin-17 plays important role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim of this study was to examine the associations between polymorphisms in the IL17A and IL17F genes and RA. METHODS: We examined 422 RA patients and 337 subjects as a control group. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the IL17A (rs2275913) and IL17F (rs763780, rs11465553, rs2397084) genes were genotyped using TaqMan genotyping assays from Life Technologies Genomic. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in distribution of IL17A and IL17F genotypes and alleles between RA patients and control group. There were no significant associations between IL17A and IL17F genotypes and age of disease diagnosis rheumatoid factor, erosive disease as well as extra-articular manifestations. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest, that IL17A and IL17F gene polymorphism are not the important factors associated with susceptibility and some clinical parameters of RA in a Polish population.
