Polymorphism rs11465553 in the Interleukin-17F Gene in Serbian Patients with Psoriasis and Healthy Controls

We examined single nucleotide rs11465553 polymorphism in the interleukin-17F gene causing valine to isoleucine substitution at the position 155 in the third exon of IL17F gene in Serbian patients with psoriasis and healthy blood donors. For the first time we found rs11465553 G (valine) and A (isoleucine) allele frequency in healthy Serbian population and in psoriasis patients, but without statistically significant difference between the two groups.
