Objectives   IL - 17A G197A  and  IL - 17F A7488G  polymorphisms has been identified to be associated with the susceptibility to many diseases. This study aimed to investigate the frequency distribution of IL-17A G197A and IL-17F A7488G polymorphisms among healthy Sudanese population. A descriptive cross-sectional hospital-based molecular study conducted in different sites throughout Sudan. Two ml blood samples were collected from 717 healthy participants. Demographic data and the medical history of the participants were collected.    Results  Of the 717 participants, 355 (49.5%) were males and 362 (50.5%) were females, their mean age was 30.2 ± 17.2 and 32.2 ± 16.5, respectively. For  IL - 17A , the most frequent genotype detected among males and females was  IL - 17A  heterozygote allele (AG); 215 (60.6%) and 194 (53.6%), respectively. Whereas, for  IL - 17F , the most frequent allele among males and females was the homozygote allele (AA); 298 (83.9%) for males and 322 (89.0%) for females. HWE for genotype distributions of  IL - 17A  was showing statistical insignificance for  IL - 17A  among males and females, P value 0.614. While HWE for  IL - 17F  reached the equilibrium level, P value 0.048. The most frequent age group was those aged between 21 to 40 years; 281 (39.2%). Arab constituted the major ethnicity of the study participants; 418 (58.3%), P value 0.034.
