| Abstract | Schizophrenia is a multi-factorial genetic disease, and it is caused by a combination of different gene polymorphisms and not individual ones, however, its pathogenesis is still unclear. The purpose of this study was explored the association between the -1082G/A, -819T/C, and -592C/A polymorphisms of interleukin-10 (IL-10) in schizophrenia. A total of 659 schizophrenics were recruited from a teaching hospital, whereas 411 healthy non-schizophrenic individuals were recruited from community in the same geographical area. The -1082G/A, -819T/C and -592C/A polymorphisms were genotyped by using PCR-RFLP, direct sequencing and TaqMan® SNP assay. Both maximum likelihood method of UNPHASED program and Bayesian method of PHASE software were utilized for haplotypic analysis. An allelic frequency difference was found between the schizophrenics and community controls at -1082G/A polymorphism of IL-10 promoter (χ2 =4.678, P=0.031). A haplotype of ACA was observed to be associated with schizophrenia after performing UNPHASED, PHASE and multivariate logistic regression analysis (P<0.001; P=0.001). In addition, the persons who carry haplotype ACA of IL-10 promoter SNPs were estimated for 5.789 fold higher risk to develop schizophrenia than controls. We postulated this haplotype association might due to variant-specific effect on IL-10 gene regulation, which leads to imbalance secretion of Th1/Th2 cytokines. Nevertheless, more detailed mechanism needs to be elucidated in further investigations in order to confirm this hypothesis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
