Abstract

About one-fourth of patients with hemophilia A (HA) develop alloantibodies against factor (F) VIII, as the main treatment challenge. Here, we assessed the relationship between interleukin-10 (IL-10), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), FII and FV polymorphisms and risk of inhibitor formation in patients with severe HA. We divided 39 patients with severe HA in two groups of case (n: 19) and control (n: 20). Genotyping was performed by multiplex amplification tetra arms refractory mutation systempolymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR) and PCR-restriction fragment-length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). TNFα rs1800629 G>A polymorphism decreased the risk of inhibitor development in codominant and dominant inheritance pattern. Moreover, TNFα rs1800629 A allele, decrease the risk of inhibitor formation, while IL10 rs1800896 A>G, FV rs6025 G>A, and FII rs1799963 G>A polymorphisms were not associated with risk of inhibitor development. It seems that TNFα rs1800629 G>A polymorphism decreased the risk of inhibitor formation in Iranian patients with HA.
