Core Tip	Immune dysregulation of Interleukin-2 (IL-2) may cause tissue injury and damage leads to pathogenesis of various autoimmune diseases The aim of this review paper was to examine the role of IL-2/IL-2R in various autoimmune disorders, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic sclerosis (SSc), multiple sclerosis (MS) and Sjogren Syndrome (SS), which are all linked to malfunctioning of IL-2/IL-2R. IL-2 gene polymorphism is involved in increasing the risk of SLE, RA, SSc, and MS but no data has been available about the genetic role of IL-2 in the pathogenesis of Sjogren syndrome. In therapeutic approaches, a low dose of IL-2 therapy is found to be safe, effective, and well-tolerated in the treatment of SLE, RA, SSc, MS, and SS patients.
