Polymorphic variant of the IFNG-gene and the level of antigen-specific production of interferon-Y among children

https://doi.org/10.34215/1609-1175-2021-1-28-33

Abstract

Objective: The assessment of the level of interferon-у (IFN-y) production after stimulation by specific antigens in case of a polymorphic variation of (T-1488C) IFNG gen among children.

Methods: From 2014 to 2018 prospective cross-sectional study of 160 children under 18 years old was conducted. 81 of them had tuberculosis, 72 - latent tuberculosis infection and 16 - non-infected.

Results: It was determined that polymorphic variation of (T-1488C) IFNG gen is connected with tuberculosis and its heterozygous genotype can be considered as a marker of a high risk of a disease.

Conclusions: Polymorphic variation of (T-1488C) IFNG gen is associated with the different level of immune response against separate specific antigens - according to the assessment of the level of induced IFN-y which decreased in case of heterozygous and homozygous genotype for an allele C. The existence of homozygous genotype for an allele T was associated with the high level of IFN-y production after specific stimulation among the children having latent tuberculosis infection.
