A polymorphism in the promoter region of the gene for interleukin-6 is associated with susceptibility to type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract excerpt

Type 1 diabetes mellitus is an autoimmune disease characterized by the destruction of the insulin-producing islet beta cells. It is likely that several genetic and environmental factors contribute to this process. There is increasing evidence showing that polymorphisms in cytokine genes may play an important role in modifying the immune response. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a cytokine that has been implicated in a...
