Abstract

The variability of eight polymorphic variants of the IL4, IL4R, IL10, IL13, IL12A, and IL12RB2 genes encoding key cytokines and their receptors in 57 world populations has been assessed. A correlation between the allele frequency distribution of the examined genes and climatic and geographic factors was observed.
