Aim : To investigate the relation between polymorphisms in the interleukin 10 ( IL )- 10 , tumor necrosis factor ( TNF) -α, transforming growth factor ( TGF)- β and interferon ( IFN)-γ  genes and Takayasu’s arteritis in the Mexican population.  Methods : A case-control study was performed to investigate the associations of  IL-10 ,  TNF-α ,  TGF-β  and  IFN-γ  polymorphisms in a sample of 52 Takayasu’s arteritis patients, diagnosed according to the criteria of the American College of Rheumatology and EULAR PRINTO criteria when the patients were under 18 years of age; 60 clinically healthy unrelated Mexican individuals by the 5′ exonuclease TaqMan polymerase chain reaction. Polymorphic haplotypes were constructed after linkage disequilibrium analysis.  Results:  Significant differences were not found in the distribution for genotype and allele frequencies of the polymorphisms studied between healthy controls and Takayasu´s arteritis patients. Likewise, significant associations were not detected in the haplotype analysis with the different genes studied.  Conclusions : These findings suggest that the polymorphisms in  IL-10 ,  TNF-α ,  TGF-β  and  IFN-γ  might not contribute to the susceptibility of Takayasu´s arteritis in the Mexican population.
