Associations between cytokine/cytokine receptor single nucleotide polymorphisms and humoral immunity to measles, mumps and rubella in a Somali population.

Associations between cytokine/cytokine receptor single nucleotide polymorphisms and humoral immunity to measles, mumps and rubella in a Somali population.

We genotyped a Somali inhabitants for 617 cytokine and cytokine receptor single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) utilizing Illumina GoldenGate genotyping to find out associations with measles, mumps and rubella immunity. Total, 61 important associations (P < or = 0.01) have been discovered between SNPs belonging to cytokine receptor genes regulating T helper (Th)1 and Th2 immunity,…
