Giris ve Amaç: Çölyak hastaligi, genetik olarak yatkin kisilerde gluten alimindan sonra gelisen kronik intestinal inflamatuvar hastaliktir.Intersellüler adezyon molekül-1 geni, inflamatuvar olaylarda rol alanintersellüler adezyon molekül-1’i kodlamaktadir. Çölyak hastaligi olanlarin intestinal biyopsi ve serumlarinda intersellüler adezyon molekül-1seviyelerinde artis gösterilmistir. Bu çalismada amacimiz, çölyak hastaligi riski ile intersellüler adezyon molekül-1 gen polimorfizminin iliskisini arastirmakti. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalismaya 40 çölyak hastasi ve 40saglikli kontrol dahil edildi. Intersellüler adezyon molekül-1 genindekiG241R(rs1799969) polimorfizmi analiz edildi. Bulgular: Çölyak hastaligi olanlarla kontrol grubu arasinda intersellüler adezyon molekül-1geninde G241R polimorfizmi yönünden istatistiksel olarak anlamli farksaptamadik. Sonuç: Bizim çalismamizdaki sonuçlara göre çölyak hastaliginda intersellüler adezyon molekül-1 G241’in rolünü gösteremedik
Background and Aims: Celiac disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestines that occurs after gluten intake in genetically susceptible individuals. The intercellular adhesion molecule -1 gene codesfor the intercellular adhesion molecule -1protein, which plays a pivotalrole in inflammatory diseases. intercellular adhesion molecule -1 levelshave been shown to be increased in celiac disease patients. We aimedto define the relationship between an intercellular adhesion molecule-1 gene polymorphism and celiac disease risk in the Turkish population.Material and Methods: Forty celiac disease patients and 40 healthycontrols were included in this study. The G241 R (rs 1799969) polymorphism was analyzed. Results: No statistically significant difference wasdetected in the frequency of the G241R polymorphism in the intercellular adhesion molecule -1 gene between celiac disease patients andhealthy controls. Discussion: Further larger scale analyses are neededto support the findings of the present study.
