Abstract excerpt

Genetic factors may play an important role in the pathogenesis of reduced bone mineral density (BMD). IL-6 is a multifunctional cytokine and a candidate gene for regulation of bone mineral density (BMD). The relationship between a microsatellite polymorphism of the IL-6 gene and metacarpal BMD in Japanese hemodialysis patients was examined. We selected 165 patients (96 males and 69 females) with a mean age of...
