The cytokine interleukin (IL)-27 is composed of two subunits, Epstein-Barr virus-induced gene 3 (EBI3) and p28, and IL-27 is a novel IL-12 family member that mediates between the innate and adaptive immune systems. We previously identified four polymorphisms in the human IL-27 gene and we suggested that the polymorphism of IL-27 is associated with the susceptibility to asthma. IL-27 transcripts are significantly elevated in active Crohn's disease (CD) but not in ulcerative colitis (UC). To determine whether these IL-27 single nucleotide polymorphisms are associated with the susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the genotype and allelic frequencies of the IL-27 polymorphisms were analyzed between the IBD patients and the healthy controls.
