Open Access Abstract Juvenile idiopathic arthritis JIA is the most common cause of chronic childhood disability and encompasses a number of disease subgroups. In this study we have focused on systemic JIA sJIA which accounts for approximately 11 of UK JIA cases. This study reports the investigation of three members of the IL10 gene family as candidate susceptibility loci in children with sJIA. DNA from 473 unaffected controls and 172 patients with sJIA was genotyped for a single nucleotide polymorphism SNP in IL19 and IL20 and two SNPs in IL10. We examined evidence for association of the four SNPs by single marker and haplotype analysis. Significant differences in allele frequency were observed between cases and controls for both IL10-1082 p and IL20-468 p . Furthermore examination of the .
