Abstract
Background: Ulcerative Colitis is a multifactorial disease which is characterized by recurrent periods of inflammation in the mucosal layer of the colon. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a class of transmembrane pattern recognition receptors that play a key role in the induction of pro/anti-inflammatory genes and in the control of adaptive immune responses. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relation between TLR1(rs4833095) single nucleotide polymorphism and ulcerative colitis. Methods: The study included 90 patients with ulcerative colitis and a healthy control group consisting of 90 people. Taken medical treatment, laboratory data, colonoscopy findings, extraintestinal manifestations of patients included in this study were recorded. TLR1(rs4833095) single nucleotide polymorphism was studied with RT-PCR methods. Results: There was no increased risk for ulcerative colitis in patients with ulcerative colitis who has TLR1(rs4833095) single nucleotide polymorphism in Turkish population (p>0.05). There was no association between TLR 1(rs4833095) single nucleotide polymorphism and the spread of the disease in the colon, severity of disease and treatment required for remission in our study(p>0.05). Conclusion: In the Turkish population, TLR1 (rs4833095) single nucleotide polymorphism was evaluated and no significant difference was found between the patients with ulcerative colitis and the control group.
