Interleukin-1 Gene Cluster Polymorphisms in Sarcoidosis and Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
Members of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) family are implicated in the pathogenesis of sarcoidosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We have, therefore, performed a case-control study to investigate a plausible association between sarcoidosis and the polymorphisms in the IL-1alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) genes.
