Interleukin-1 beta, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist and interleukin-6 plasma levels and cytokine gene polymorphisms in chronic lymphocytic leukemia: correlation with prognostic parametersJ Hulkkonen
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Tampere Medical School, Tampere, Finland
Haematologica 85:600-6. 2000..As the plasma levels of IL-6, IL-1 beta and IL-1Ra have been suggested to be partly dependent on gene polymorphism, the previously described polymorphisms of the IL-1 complex genes and the IL-6 gene were also studied...
A rare allele combination of the interleukin-1 gene complex is associated with high interleukin-1 beta plasma levels in healthy individualsJ Hulkkonen
Institute of Medical Technology, University of Tampere, Tampere, Finland
Eur Cytokine Netw 11:251-5. 2000..This effect of IL-1 alpha 2.2 homozygosity was more pronounced in donors, who also were carriers of the IL-1 beta allele 2. Thus these data suggest that this allele combination has a regulatory effect on basal IL-1 beta production...

Rheumatology (Oxford) 43:1476-9. 2004..To determine whether plasma matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) and MMP9 (-1562C-->T) polymorphism have an effect on the disease phenotype in primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS)...
Elevated interleukin-6 plasma levels are regulated by the promoter region polymorphism of the IL6 gene in primary Sjögren's syndrome and correlate with the clinical manifestations of the diseaseJ Hulkkonen
Institute of Medical Technology, University of Tampere, Tampere, Finland

Genetic association between interleukin-10 promoter region polymorphisms and primary Sjögren's syndromeJ Hulkkonen
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Tampere Medical School and Institute of Medical Technology, Finland
Arthritis Rheum 44:176-9. 2001..To determine whether the haplotypes formed on the basis of single-base-exchange polymorphisms at positions -1082, -819, or -592 of the interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene predispose subjects to primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS)...

Centre for Rheumatic Diseases, Tampere University Hospital, Tampere, Finland
Scand J Rheumatol 40:358-62. 2011..To assess the occurrence, clinical picture, and triggering infections of reactive arthritis (ReA) associated with a large waterborne gastroenteritis outbreak...
Presence of apolipoprotein E epsilon4 allele predisposes to early onset of primary Sjogren's syndromeM Pertovaara
Department of Internal Medicine, Section of Rheumatology, Tampere University Hospital, P O Box 2000, FIN 33521 Tampere, Finland
Rheumatology (Oxford) 43:1484-7. 2004..Apolipoprotein E (apoE) polymorphism plays a central role in lipid metabolism, but has recently also been suggested to regulate inflammation, as judged by levels of serum C-reactive protein (CRP)...

Rheumatology (Oxford) 43:106-7. 2004
The significance of mannan-binding lectin gene alleles in patients with primary Sjögren's syndromeJ Aittoniemi
Department of Clinical Microbiology, Centre for Laboratory Medicine, Tampere University Hospital, Finland
Scand J Rheumatol 31:362-5. 2002..To investigate the significance or mannan-binding lectin (MBL) gene alleles in patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS). Genotypes were determined in 65 pSS patients and 138 controls...
