Differential distribution of allelic variants in cytokine genes among African Americans and White Americans.

American journal of epidemiology - 1 Dec 2004

Ness Roberta B, Haggerty Catherine L, Harger Gail, Ferrell Robert

Abstract excerpt

Racial disparities in health are largely unexplained. Because many diseases causing premature mortality among African Americans are mediated by the immune system, the authors explored the race-specific distribution of allelic variants in cytokine genes known to stimulate inflammation. The authors studied women seeking prenatal care and delivering singletons in uncomplicated first births at a US hospital in...
