In this study, the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-\u03b1) \u2212308G\/A (rs1800629) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) \u22121087G\/A (rs1800896), \u2212824C\/T (rs1800871), and \u2212597C\/A (rs1800872) and the gamma interferon (IFN-\u03b3) T\/A SNP at position +874 (rs2430561) were typed in 80 Sicilian patients affected by MSF and in 288 control subjects matched for age, gender, and geographic origin. No significant differences in TNF-\u03b1 \u2212308G\/A genotype frequencies were observed. The +874TT genotype, associated with an increased production of IFN-\u03b3, was found to be significantly less frequent in MSF patients than in the control group (odds ratio [OR], 0.18; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.06 to 0.51;<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>corrected for the number of genotypes [<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>c<\/jats:sub>], 0.0021). In addition, when evaluating the IFN-\u03b3 and IL-10 genotype interaction, a significant increase of +874AA\/\u2212597CA (OR, 5.31; 95% CI, 2.37 to 11.88;<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>c<\/jats:sub>, 0.0027) combined genotypes was observed. In conclusion, our data strongly suggest that finely genetically tuned cytokine production may play a crucial role in the regulation of the immune response against rickettsial infection, therefore influencing the disease outcomes, ranging from nonapparent or subclinical condition to overt or fatal disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/cvi.00121-09","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,4,23]],"date-time":"2009-04-23T00:55:42Z","timestamp":1240448142000},"page":"811-815","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Relevance of Gamma Interferon, Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha, and Interleukin-10 Gene Polymorphisms to Susceptibility to Mediterranean Spotted Fever"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Giusi Irma","family":"Forte","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Patologia Clinica"},{"name":"Sezione di Patologia Generale, Dipartimento di Biopatologia e Metodologie Biomediche"},{"name":"Dipartimento di Medicina Clinica e delle Patologie Emergenti, University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy"},{"name":"Servizio di Patologia Clinica, V.
