Abstract excerpt
Acute coronary syndromes (ACSs) are associated with both systemic inflammatory activation and endothelial cell activation, and both of these are linked to patient outcome. Genetic variation at the interleukin-1 (IL-1) locus influences the clinical patterns of inflammatory disease. We therefore examined the association between IL-1 gene polymorphisms and levels of systemic inflammatory activation markers...
