Association of an allelic variant of interleukin-6 with subclinical carotid atherosclerosis in an Australian community population.

European heart journal - 1 Aug 2003

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: Atherosclerosis can be viewed as a low grade inflammatory process, and genetic polymorphisms within cytokines are candidate risk factors for the development of atherosclerosis. We examined the association of a common functional variant in the IL-6 gene with carotid intimal-medial wall thickness (IMT) and the presence of plaques in a randomly selected, cross-sectional Australian population. METHODS: B-mode...
