## Abstract ## Objective To investigate whether the interleukinβ1 (ILβ1) ligand gene cluster at 2q13 encodes for genetic susceptibility to primary osteoarthritis (OA). ## Methods Seven singleβnucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and a variableβnumber tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism from within the

## Objective: To study the role of the interleukin-1 beta gene (il1b) and the il-1 receptor antagonist gene (il1rn) in relation to the occurrence of radiographic osteoarthritis (roa) in the hip, knee, and hand and disc degeneration of the spine. ## Methods: The study population consisted of a ran
## Objective Recent reports have confirmed association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) mapping to the interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) and IL-12Ξ² genes with psoriasis susceptibility. The aim of this study was to determine whether these variants are also associated with susceptibility to p
