Is interleukin-6 important in inflammatory bowel disease?

Genes and immunity - 1 Feb 2000

Koss K, Satsangi J, Welsh K I, Jewell D P

Abstract excerpt

The IL-6 gene maps to an area of chromosome 7 known to be significant for susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease. The functional effects of interleukin-6 (IL-6) polymorphisms in the 4th intron and in the 3' flanking region of IL-6 gene were studied in 192 inflammatory bowel disease patients and healthy subjects. A polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) was used to determine a G...
