title: Comparison of IL10 and IL2 genotypes of Turkish population with other populations.
abstract: The human genome has been shaped by evolutionary and historical forces. Therefore, genetic polymorphisms are useful tools not only to understand the susceptibility to disease in modern populations, but the history of ancestral populations as well. For this purpose, data on genetic polymorphisms such as human leucocyte antigen, mitochondrial DNA sequence variability and the frequencies of TAP1 and TAP2 gene variants in Turkey have been reported previously. Here we have used interleukin (IL)-10 (-592C/A, -819T/C, -1082G/A) and IL-2 (-330T/G) as genetic markers to study the relationship between Turkish population and other populations.
