Interlukin-27 rs153109 polymorphism confers the susceptibility and prognosis of aplastic anemia in Chinese population.

IL-27 rs153109 polymorphism confers genetic predisposition to aplastic anemia and influences disease prognosis, potentially by regulating IL-27 expression, which help broaden potential pathogenesis of aplastic anemia. Specifically, for patients with AA genotype, more aggressive therapeutic strategies such as hematopoietic stem cells transplantation are warranted.
