To investigate non-human leukocyte antigen candidate genes that influence the outcome of human T cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV) type I infection, we analyzed 6 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the interleukin (IL)-10 promoter region in 280 patients with HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/ tropical spastic paraparesis(HAM/TSP) and 255 HTLV-I-seropositive asymptomatic carriers from an area where HTLV-I is endemic. The IL-10 -592 A allele, which shows lower HTLV-I Tax-induced transcriptional activity than the C allele in the Jurkat T cell line, was associated with a >2-fold reduction in the odds of developing HAM/TSP (P=.011; odds ratio [OR], 0.50 [95% confidence interval, 0.30-0.86]) by reducing the provirus load in the whole cohort (P=.009, analysis of variance). Given the OR and the observed frequency of IL-10 -592 A, we demonstrate that this allele prevents similar to44.7% (standard deviation, +/-13.1%) of potential cases of HAM/TSP, which indicates that it defines one component of the genetic susceptibility to HAM/TSP in the cohort.
