INTRODUCTION: Interleukin-31 (IL-31) impact on the development and clinical presentation of psoriasis as well as pruritus has not been widely investigated so far.

AIM: To analyse IL-31 -1066G/A and -2057G/A promoter gene polymorphisms as well as serum IL-31 level and their correlation with severity of psoriasis and pruritus in the population of northern Poland.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 300 psoriasis patients and 186 healthy volunteers. The polymorphisms were analysed using amplified refractory mutation system - polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR) method. Serum levels of IL-31 were measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test.

RESULTS: The -1066 AA genotype of the IL-31 gene was statistically more frequent in patients and it increased the risk of psoriasis (OR = 1.80; p = 0.04). The GG genotype as well as G allele of the IL-31 -2057 gene polymorphism were rarely observed in psoriasis and were associated with a decreased risk of the disease (OR = 0.6, p = 0.007 and OR = 0.7, p = 0.01, respectively). Serum levels of IL-31 were significantly elevated in psoriasis patients (p < 0.000001), however, they did not correlate with the studied polymorphic variants of the IL-31 gene, severity of psoriasis, disease onset, presence of psoriatic arthritis and pruritus intensity.

CONCLUSIONS: Distinct IL-31 promoter gene polymorphisms may be involved in psoriasis development. It seems that serum concentration of IL-31 may not be a reliable marker of psoriatic pruritus.
