Novel IL-6 haplotypes and disease association.

Genes and immunity - 1 Jun 2005

Abstract excerpt

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine crucial in both adaptive and innate immunity. Numerous genetic studies have shown association with variants of this gene in a multitude of diseases and phenotypes. Most tests of association have focused on a limited set of promoter polymorphisms, in particular, the -174G>C; however, there are many inconsistencies within and between these studies. We propose that...
