In conclusion, the high interleukin-10-producing -1082GG genotype may be associated with variable odds for acute respiratory distress syndrome development depending on age.
Association between Interleukin-10-1082 G/A and Tumor Necrosis Factor-<b>α</b> 308 G/A Gene Polymorphisms and Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Iranian Preterm Infants.
AGER SNP rs2070600 (Ser/Ser) was associated with increased ARDS risk and higher plasma sRAGE in this cohort, although confirmatory studies are needed to assess the role of AGER SNPs in ARDS prediction.
A total of 12 SNPs met the stage I threshold for an association with ARDS. rs315952 in the IL1RN gene encoding IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL1RA) replicated its association with reduced ARDS risk in stages II (P < 0.004) and III (P < 0.02), and was robust to clinical adjustment (combined odds ratio = 0.81; P = 4.2 × 10(-5)).
In children with community-acquired pneumonia, absence of the A1 allele at the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist intron 2 polymorphic site is associated with increased risk for more severe lung injury, as measured by the need for positive pressure ventilation or the development of acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome.
We hypothesized that a synonymous coding variant in the IL-1 receptor antagonist gene (IL1RN), rs315952, previously associated with reduced risk for acute respiratory distress syndrome, would be functional and associate with improved survival in septic shock.
In multivariate analysis, the presence of variable nuclear tandem repeat surfactant protein B gene polymorphism was associated with a 3.51 greater odds of death at 60 days in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome as compared to those patients with the wild-type genotype (95% confidence interval 1.39-8.88, p = 0.008).
Our data provide evidence that ABCA3 mutations are associated not only with a deficiency of ABCA3 but also with an abnormal processing and routing of SP-B and SP-C, leading to severe alterations of surfactant homeostasis and respiratory distress syndrome.
The TNF-α rs1800629 locus A allele and the IL-6rs1800796 locus G allele were found to be risk factors for ARDS (adjusted OR = 1.452, 95% CI: 1.211-1.689, P < .001 and adjusted OR = 1.205, 95% CI: 1.058-1.358, P = .005, respectively).
In multivariate analysis, the presence of variable nuclear tandem repeat surfactant protein B gene polymorphism was associated with a 3.51 greater odds of death at 60 days in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome as compared to those patients with the wild-type genotype (95% confidence interval 1.39-8.88, p = 0.008).
Our objective was to functionally characterize two ABCA3 mutations (p.R288K and p.R1474W) identified among term and late-preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome with unclear pathogenicity in a genetically versatile model system.
Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a central chemokine in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and the IL-8 gene contains a functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) -251A/T in its promoter region.
The objective was to determine whether the SP-B + 1580 CC genotype is associated with an increased risk of respiratory failure and ARDS in adults with community-acquired pneumonia.
It was therefore hypothesized that polymorphisms of the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene affects the risk and outcome of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
