IL-10 polymorphism in the three groups in correlation with other gene expression. IL-10 severe SNPs (ATA/ATA-ATA/ACC-ACC/ACC) included VDRs SNPs, especially seen in Taql, Apal, and Fokl (p < 0.05) (red and yellow with Taql TT/Tt, Apal AA/Aa, Foql FF/Ff); IL-10 moderate SNPs (ACC/GCC) included VDRs SNPs seen in VDR Taql, 17 patients TT (red) (p < 0.05) and 20 patients Tt (yellow). The SNPs in IL-10 functionally expressed by ATA/ATA-ATA/ACC-ACC/ACC genotypes have no statistically significant relation with COLIA1 gene expression. IL-10 depletion had very low effect on COLIA1 gene expression, genotypes analysis revealed 2 ss (red color), 9 Ss (yellow color), and 19 SS (green color); SNPs in IL-10 functionally expressed by ATA/ATA-ATA/ACC-ACC/ACC genotypes showed a certain degree of correlation with ILs-1 group. Patients with IL-10 depletion showed a substantial affection IL-1gene expression, genotypes analysis showed 10 severe (red color), 17 moderate (yellow color), and seven without alteration (green color). IL-10 polymorphisms (ATA/ATA-ATA/ACC-ACC/ACC) and TNF-α showed a moderate inverted type of correlation. SNPs at IL-10 showed a quite substantial effect on patient’s TNF-α gene expression. Severe IL-10 depletion showed no effect on TNF-α gene activity that was statistically significant (p > 0.05). From severe to moderate to normal IL-10 gene expression TNF-α was shown to be always substantially regularly expressed from 65% to 78% to 77% in the GG haplotype, 32%, 23%, and 23% in the AG haplotype and practically 0–3% in AA haplotype (red= severity grade 2; yellow = severity grade 1; green = severity grade 0, normal expression).
