Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are predictive markers for diseases, also cytokines are undergoing genetic controls and their genetic polymorphisms have a functional role in regulating the levels of cytokine gene expression. This study aims to reveal the association of toxoplasmosis with serum levels and SNP of IL-27 in aborted women. Total, 200 blood samples of patients and controls were collected from Al-Alawiya Maternity Teaching Hospital/Baghdad/Iraq from 2019–2020 for detecting the level of IL-27 by ELISA while the allelic discrimination method was used for SNP IL-27 (rs153109). The results indicated the IL-27 serum concentration elevated with significant differences in recurrent abortion with toxoplasmosis group compared to healthy women, pregnant women, and recurrent abortion. Also, recurrent abortion had significant differences compared to healthy women and pregnant women (P<0.05). Moreover, SNP results of IL-27 showed no significant association between patients and controls. Considering the distribution of serum levels for IL-27 by SNP, it was observed that IL-27 serum levels for TT, TC, and CC genotypes elevated in the patient group versus the control group. In addition, it was observed elevation serum level of IL-27 for the genotypes TT, TC, and CC in recurrent abortion with toxoplasmosis in contrast to healthy women, pregnant women, and recurrent abortion (P<0.05). Also, in recurrent abortion, the level of IL-27 for TC, and CC genotype showed significant differences comparing to healthy and pregnant women (P<0.05). In conclusion, the level of IL-27 in recurrent abortion women with toxoplasmosis was higher than the recurrent abortion women, which may be due to the inflammatory response to toxoplasmosis. SNP of IL-27 has not represented as a risk factor in recurrent abortion women with toxoplasmosis.
