Objectives  Increased levels of serum Immunoglobulin-E (IgE) and different genetic variants of cytokines are common biochemical manifestation in Allergy. The current study was aimed to study the association of IgE and different variants of Interleukin-4 ( IL-4) , and Interleukin-13 ( IL-13 ) genes with different kind of allergies.    Methods  A pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect all the dietary, life style and clinical details by a trained staff. A blood sample of 2 ml each was collected in coagulated and anti-coagulated vials. DNA and serum samples were extracted and stored until further use. Serum IgE were estimated by ELISA while as the genotypic analysis was done by PCR–RFLP methods.    Results   S tatistically a significant difference of serum IgE levels were observed among cases and controls ( P  < 0.05). The observed significant difference of serum IgE levels were retained among subjects who also harboured variant genotypes of  IL-4  and  IL-13  genes ( P  < 0.05). Additionally, the above genetic variants significantly modified the risk of allergy when stratification was done based on various clinical characteristics.    Conclusion  Our study suggests that increased IgE levels and in association with variant forms of  IL-4  and  IL-13  genes are significantly associated with different types of allergies in study population.
