Abstract
Background: AAU (acute anterior uveitis) is the most common entity of uveitis characterized by acute vision loss and violent sore eyes. IL-33 and IL-1RacP have been found to play crucial roles in the innate immune system.
Objective: In the present study, we investigated the association of IL33 and IL1RAP genes with AAU.
Method: A total of 549 AAU patients and 1080 unrelated healthy controls were recruited for this study. Ten single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped using Sequenom Mass ARRAY technology.
Results: Our findings demonstrated that IL1RAP-rs3773978 significantly associated with AAU and could serve as a genetic risk marker in Chinese AAU patients. A significantly increased frequency of the A allele and AA homozygosity of IL1RAP-rs3773978 was observed in AAU patients compared with that in controls (p=0.001, pc=0.01, OR=1.282, 95% CI 1.106 to 1.487; p=0.0003, pc=0.003, OR=1.647, 95% CI 1.255 to 2.163, respectively). Further stratification analyses showed that the genetic correlation may differ depending on HLA-B27 status, AS (ankylosing spondylitis) status, attack times and laterality status.
Conclusion: Our findings provide new insights that enhance the current knowledge of uveitis genetics by demonstrating the specific functional roles of IL1RAP and other IL-1 family genes in uveitis.
Keywords: IL33, IL1RAP, acute anterior uveitis, association analysis, innate immune system, vision loss.

Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms in Vertigo / Vestibular Disorders
Vertigo and vestibular diseases are common among middle-aged and older adults, significantly increasing the risk of falls and leading to injuries and disabilities. Despite their prevalence, therapeutic advancements are hindered by a limited understanding of the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms. This Special Issue is dedicated to bridging this gap ...read more
