Abstract excerpt
The human interleukin-6 receptor (IL6R) is responsible for signal transduction of IL6 that might have associations with immune diseases and various infectious diseases. We have sequenced all 10 exons including the putative splicing site to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms in IL6R. Seven novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified; one SNP in the promoter region (-183G>A), one synonymous...
