Are cytokine gene polymorphisms associated with outcome in patients with idiopathic intermediate uveitis in the United Kingdom?

Table 3

 Association of IL-10−1082 AA with outcome

Outcome
Good Bad
In patients for whom data were available (n = 73) the IL-10−1082AA genotype was more prevalent in those with bad compared to good outcome. When analysed on the basis of IL-10 −1082AA and IFNγ 874, those patients expressing 874T were more likely to have had a bad outcome.
*IL-10−1082 AA versus outcome χ2 = 13 p = 0.0003 (Yates 0.0008) OR 5.6; 95% CI 1.9 to 16.7.
†IFNγT and IL-10 −1082 AA versus outcome χ2 = 13.2 p = 0.002 (Yates 0.002) OR 6.3; 95% CI 1.8 to 23.6.
