Abstract excerpt
The present study aimed to determine existing associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms within the promoters of interleukin (IL)-6 (-174 G/C) and IL-10 (-1082 G/A, -819 C/T, -592 C/A) genes and the outcome of allogeneic sibling hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Ninety-three recipients and 74 donors were typed for IL-6 and IL-10 alleles by polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primer. Then,...
