Popis: Recently, ST18 polymorphism has played a role in increasing the risk of pemphigus among some populations such as Egyptian and Jewish. In addition, a variant within the ST18 promoter gene was shown to induce ST18 upregulation and cytokine secretion leading to keratinocyte susceptibility to anti-desmoglein antibodies. Thus, the present study aimed to assess the ST18 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) relationship with pemphigus, disease severity and family history among Iranian population. A total of 111 pemphigus patients and 201 healthy controls were genotyped for three ST18 SNPs rs2304365, rs10504140 and rs4074067 by using TETRA-ARMS PCR method. The results indicated that risk allele A in rs2304365 was significantly higher in pemphigus patients, compared with the amount in the control group (OR = 2.43 CI = 1.49-3.975, P
