These proteins regulate immune responses; therefore dysregulation in their expression leads to several immune-mediated disorders. In the present study, we examined expression of <jats:italic>PIAS1<\/jats:italic>-<jats:italic>4<\/jats:italic> in peripheral blood of patients with acute\/chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (AIDP\/CIDP) compared with healthy subjects. We demonstrated down-regulation of all <jats:italic>PIAS<\/jats:italic> genes in both AIDP and CIDP cases compared with controls. Similarly, comparisons in gender-based groups revealed down-regulation of these gene0s in patients of each gender compared with gender-matched controls. There was no significant difference in expression of <jats:italic>PIAS<\/jats:italic> genes between AIDP and CIDP cases. Based on the area under the receiver operating characteristic curves, <jats:italic>PIAS1<\/jats:italic>-<jats:italic>4<\/jats:italic> genes could distinguish between inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy and healthy status with accuracy values of 0.87, 0.87, 0.79 and 0.80, respectively. In differentiation between AIDP cases and healthy controls, these values were 0.92, 0.92, 0.83 and 0.86, respectively. Finally, <jats:italic>PIAS1<\/jats:italic>-<jats:italic>4<\/jats:italic> genes could discriminate CIDP from healthy status with accuracy values of 0.82, 0.83, 0.75 and 0.75, respectively. The current study underscores the role of <jats:italic>PIAS<\/jats:italic> genes in the pathogenesis of inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy and their potential usage as biomarkers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fimmu.2021.659038","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,12]],"date-time":"2021-05-12T05:33:10Z","timestamp":1620797590000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Expression
