Abstract excerpt

IL-6 plasma levels are predictive of major cardiovascular events. Recently a G/C polymorphism at position -174 in the promoter of the IL-6 gene has been associated with differences in both the IL-6 transcription rate in vitro and IL-6 levels in vivo. We examined the association of this polymorphism with coronary artery disease (CAD) and previous myocardial infarction (MI) in 2559 patients with angiographically...
