Popis: Hashimoto's disease is a polygenic disorder with complex etiopathogenesis. The imbalance between pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines may play a role in the etiology. We aimed to evaluate the relation between 174 promoter region of the interleukin 6 rs1800795 gene polymorphism in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). We studied 110 HT patients and 110 healthy controls. The evaluation of genotype for interleukin 6 rs1800795 gene polymorphism were performed by using PCR-RFLP method. The genotype of IL6 distribution did differ between the control group (CC 17.3%, GC 78.2%, GG 4.5%) and the HT patients (CC 29.1%, GC 46.4%, GG 24.5%) (p 0.05). Our results indicate that interleukin 6 rs1800795 polymorphism may be associated with susceptibility to HT in Turkish Patients. It is necessary to confirm the results and determine the underlying pathogenic mechanisms in further studies.
