In order to evaluate a possible association between susceptibility and clinic-pathologic features, we genotyped 153 MDS patients for functional cytokine polymorphisms: TNF (-308 G/A), IFNG (+874 A/T and +875 CAn), IL6 (-174 G/C), and TGFB1 (+869 C/T and +915 G/C).

Furthermore, the presence of each or both high-producing genotypes [TNF: p = 0.048, odds ratio (OR): 3.979; IL6: p = 0.001, OR: 6.835; both: p = 0.010, OR: 6.068] and thrombocytopenia at platelet counts of <50,000/μL (p = 0.004, OR: 4.857) were independently associated with an increased risk of manifesting a hemoglobin level of <8 g/dL at diagnosis.

Our results demonstrate that TNF and IL6 gene polymorphisms, as underlying host features, are likely to play a key role in influencing the severity of the cytopenias in MDS and they may be instrumental for tailoring cytokine-target therapies.
